Charles Henry Galloway
Charles Henry Galloway (December 21, 1871 – March 9, 1931) was a St. Louis, Missouri church and concert organist, choral conductor, educator, and composer. At six feet eight inches (2.03 m) tall, Galloway was a large man with a commanding presence. His hands were so large, in fact, that his reach on the piano was supposedly twelve keys, or just over eleven inches. A child prodigy, Galloway was employed as a church organist by the age of nine. Over the course of his life, he was employed at various churches in St. Louis, including St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where he served as organist and choirmaster for more than thirty-five years. From 1895 to 1898, Galloway studied with the great French organist Alexandre Guilmant, with whom he became lifelong friends.
