Max Rapp

You are here

Just a quick note to let you know we just posted a biography of Max Rapp, at http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/r/a/p/rapp_mh.htm. Just guessing here, but I think Rapp could well be the only person listed in hymnary.org who composed music for films starring Boris Karloff & Lon Chaney, and was a personal friend of Nat King Cole & Henry Mancini!

The biography and photo on our site were supplied by Rapp's great-great grandson, Taylor Agan. Taylor is a Christian songwriter/composer in (I think) Nashville, though not yet in the hymnary. A quick Google search on Taylor's name returns over 4,000 hits, so there's plenty of info online about him. We've offered to create a bio page for him on our site.
