<p class="just">Warren attended Racine College in Wisconsin, then played the organ at St. Peter&#8217;s Episcopal Church (1846-1858) and St. Paul&#8217;s Church (1858-1860) in Albany, New York. In 1860, he moved to New York to become organist at Holy Trinity Church. After 10 years there, he became organist and choir director at St. Thomas&#8217; Church in New York City. No music was played at his funeral, attended by thousands, as the mourners believed they could find no finer organist. Warren<em>&#8217;</em>s works include:</p>
