Title	Triumph of Faith Sheet Music
Subject	Presidents and Politics Arts and Entertainment Music Monuments & memorials Building dedications McKinley, William, 1843-1901
Place	Niles (Ohio) Trumbull County (Ohio)
Description	This composition was written for and performed at the dedication of the National McKinley Birthplace Memorial on October 5, 1917. The text is by Marian E. Kelly. The music was composed by Professor Lynn B. Dana, president of Dana's Musical Institute of Warren, which later became the Dana School of Music at Youngstown State University. The oratorio was intended to "unfold, step by step, epochs in the life of the martyr" William McKinley. The sheet music is 52 pages in length and measures 7" by 10" (17.78 by 25.4 cm). The first 11 pages are included here. The music consists of 12 movements, including the following: Adoration to the Deity, Adoration to Man, Adoration to the Day, Dream of Youth, And the Mountains, Call to Arms, Covenant of Peace, Hymn to Fame, Mystery of Death, Hark the Angels, Symphony of Heaven and Chorus of the Conquerors. Notable Ohioans among the guests included former president William Howard Taft, who delivered the keynote speech. Another address, "McKinley the President" was delivered by George B. Cortelyou, who had served as a private secretary to President McKinley. One of the emotional highlights of the day was when Miss Helen McKinley of Canton, unveiled the courtyard sculpture of her brother. As with the cornerstone laying ceremonies two years earlier, President Woodrow Wilson was unable to attend due to the United States' involvement in World War I. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial building was constructed from 1915-1917. The memorial was conceived by Joseph G. Butler, Jr. and financed by large and small contributions from the community and throughout the world. Built of white Georgian marble, the structure consists of two wings joined by an open-air Italianate Court of Honor, at the center of which stands a thirteen foot tall marble sculpture of President William McKinley. In addition, the front facade and perimeter are supported by 28 monolithic Doric columns. One wing of the structure houses the Museum and Auditorium; the McKinley Memorial Library occupies the other half of the building. William McKinley (1843-1901), the twenty-fifth president of the United States, was born in Niles, Ohio.
