rdfs:comment	Henry Clay Work (October 1, 1832 – June 8, 1884) was an American composer and songwriter known for the songs Kingdom Coming, Marching Through Georgia, The Ship That Never Returned and My Grandfather's Clock. (en) Henry Clay Work (1er octobre 1832 - 8 juin 1884) était un compositeur et auteur de chansons américain. Sa biographie est relativement obscure. Il est né à Middletown (Connecticut) et était le fils d'un opposant notable à l'esclavage, qui fit de la prison à cause de son engagement. Lui-même fut un ardent défenseur de la cause abolitionniste et unioniste. Il participa au chemin de fer clandestin et aida de nombreux esclaves à s'enfuir. Henry Clay Work apprit la musique en autodidacte. Vers l'âge de 23 ans, il travailla comme imprimeur à Chicago. C'est à cette époque qu'il composa We Are Coming, Sister Mary, une chanson des Christy's Minstrels shows. Il écrivit ses meilleures œuvres pendant la Guerre de Sécession. Henry Clay Work mourut à Hartford (Connecticut) en 1884. (fr) Henry Clay Work född 1 oktober 1832 i Middletown Connecticut död 8 juni 1884 i Hartford Connecticut, amerikansk kompositör, textförfattare, uppfinnare. (sv) ヘンリー・クレイ・ワーク（Henry Clay Work, 1832年10月1日 - 1884年6月8日）はアメリカ合衆国の作曲家。スティーヴン・フォスターと並んで19世紀のアメリカ合衆国を代表する歌曲作曲家。コネチカット州ミドルタウンに生まれる。奴隷制廃止運動の活動家の家庭に生まれ育ち、自らも地下鉄道 (秘密結社)の組織活動に助力を惜しまなかったとされる。そのかたわらで、「クリスティー・ミンストレルズ」のために、フォスターの流れを汲む世俗歌曲を創作した。フォスター歌曲と同じく、ワークの《ジョージア・マーチ》は、アイヴズの交響楽の中で引用されている。また、いくつかの歌曲は、世界各地で民謡として流布されている。全部で80曲近くあるうち、とりわけよく知られているのは、以下のもの。《大きな古時計》は、続編も作られた。 (ja)
