Edward Benjamin Scheve was born in Herford, Germany in 1865 and came to the United States around 1890, first to Rochester NY and then to Grinnell, IA in 1906. He was a successful composer and served on the music faculty at Grinnell College from 1906 until his death in 1924. In announcing his death, the college alumni publication, Grinnell and You, stated "He was a great teacher, a great organist, and a great composer. He made Grinnell musical, and any future history of the college and the town will number him among the real founders of Grinnell"

Organ part not necessary for performance. These were accepted for publication by the Clayton F. Summy Co., Chicago, but Mrs. Scheve refused to allow them to copyright them (through the advice of some shyster Colorady lawyer.) So the matter had to be dropped. They now should be published by the college. Very Beautiful in a lighter vein -- we played them many times. I tried to get Mrs. How and the violin teacher to do them on the Commencement program of Scheve music. Guess they thought they were too small for them. GLP (George L. Pierce) --Also included are Twilight Pictures and Two Lyric Pieces, both for piano.
