Edward Frederick Teschemacher (5 February 1876[1]–15 May 1940[2]), was a prolific writer of song lyrics. He was born at Highbury, Middlesex, England and he was educated at Giggleswick School, Settle, North Yorkshire.[3]

Name change[]

In November 1914, Teschemacher announced[4] that from 13 November, he wished to be known and addressed as Edward Frederick Lockton.[5]

Other work[]

Beside his work as a song lyricist, he also worked as a translator, arranger, librettist responsible for writing or co-writing a number of well-known pieces, including "Because" (music composed by Guy d'Hardelot) (1902) and "I'll Walk Beside You" (music composed by Alan Murray) (1939). Teschemacher wrote much of his lyrics for popular music between 1900 and the late 1920s. His work as a translator includes translating "Mattinata" (music by Leoncavallo) from Italian to English (new title "Tis the Day") in 1904, translating a series of folksongs from Norwegian and Danish to English in 1906, and translating the "Mariae Wiegenlied" (The Virgin's Slumber Song) from German to English in 1917.[6]

  5. ^ "Mr Edward Teschmacher begs to announce that he has changed his surname to Lockton. Mr Lockton, as his friends and aquaintances [sic?] know, is an Englishman. He was born in London as were his father and grandfather, the last named in 1791. He therefore thinks it undesirable, and perhaps misleading, to continue to bear a foreign name and desires all communication to be addressed to him in the future under the name of Lockton. It may be mentioned that the name Mr. Teeschmacher has now taken is that of his mother. His father, who as is stated was born in London, went to school with the late Mr. Joseph Chamerlain at Highbury. Mr. Lockton has no relatives in Germany; nor had his father any German relatives".
