<p>Holden lived most of his life in Charlestown, Massachusetts, near Boston. Though a carpenter and real estate dealer in his professional life, he also organized many music schools, and served as legislator and pastor. When George Washington visited Boston in 1789, Holden wrote the lyrics and score and trained the choir which sang the music that greeted Washington at the Old State House.</p>
|
|
<p>Holden co-wrote <em>Massachusetts Compiler of Theoretical Principles</em> (Boston, Massachusetts: 1795).<em> </em>Among his compilations are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>American Harmony</em> (Boston, Massachusetts: 1792)</li>
|
|
<li><em>Union Harmony</em> (Boston, Massachusetts: 1793 & 1801)</li>
|
|
<li><em>Worcester Collection</em> (Worcester, Massachusetts: 1797-1803)</li>
