ELTON ROTH (1891-1951) was born in Berne, Indiana. At the age of 12, he "went forward" in an old-fashioned revival meeting in his Mennonite community and was baptized in the Wabash River. Roth attended the Fort Wayne Bible School and Moody Bible Institute, and studied the higher forms of music with Dr. A. Verne Westlake and Solomon Ancis from Vienna. He traveled with evangelists for a time, singing and directing the choir, taught music at Alliance bible schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, and New York City, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Baptist Theological College and City College (Los Angeles). He organized the Ecclesia Choir in 1931, which toured the United States extensively. He published many anthems and over 100 hymns for which he has written all the tunes and most of the texts. "In My Heart There Rings a Melody" is his most famous gospel song and this is still a Hope copyright which enters the Public Domain in 2020.
