joined the organ faculty at NEC. He was appointed Dean in 1907 and
subsequently Director in 1931- a position he held until 1942. Goodrich was
organist at Church of the Messiah and later Trinity Church in Boston from
1902-1907. He was the official organist for the Boston Symphony from
1897-1900, performing Handel’s Concerto in D minor in the first pair of
concerts ever held at Symphony Hall in October 1900. Goodrich founded

At various points, Goodrich also directed the Cecilia Society (1907-1910),
the Worcester County Choral Association (1902-1907) and the Boston Opera
Company (1909-1912). Among the operas conducted by Goodrich were Faust,
Lakme, La Boheme, Rigoletto, Mignon, Hansel and Gretel , Converse’s The
Sacrifice (world premiere) and The Pipe of Desire . In addition, Goodrich
held the position of secretary to the Joint Commission on Church Music of
the Episcopal Church, from its beginning in 1919 until 1948. Goodrich
composed choral music, including his Ave Maria for chorus and orchestra
(Munich, 1895). Goodrich also wrote The Organ in France (1917),
“Recollections of my time at New England Conservatory”, and translated A.
Pirro’s Johann Sebastian Bach and his Works for the Organ (1902) and
d’Ortigue’s Methode d’accompagnement du plain-chant (1905)." -Grove Music
