Abstract: | This paper presents a brief biography of Thomas King Ekundayo Phillips (1884-1969), pioneer of contemporary Nigerian art music, despite the fact that he wrote and worked extensively for the Church. He was a composer, organist of note, prolific choirmaster, teacher, and ethnomusicologist. Besides detailing his historical, educational and professional background, the paper also briefly pays attention to Phillips' guiding principles on melodic development in Yoruba music.
