Biography
Jacob Kimball, Jr., was a fifer and drummer in the Revolutionary War. After graduating from Harvard College, he was a lawyer and schoolteacher for a few years, then returned to Topsfield and returned to being a singing-master and poet. He compiled two tunebooks, Rural Harmony and Essex Harmony, mostly of his own compositions. His music shows signs of his reformist ideas (Steel and Hulan 2010). There are noticeable European influences on his harmonic expression, especially tending towards "modern" harmonies and the psalmody of the seventeenth century.
