Born in Chicago, Illinois on November 21, 1877, Louis Campbell-Tipton studied in Boston and Leipzig, and was an instructor in theory at the Chicago Musical College from 1900 to 1905.[1] He then moved to Paris. He felt that the prospects for performance of large-scale American works in the United States were bleak, and claimed that he had never wished to sacrifice the energy needed to complete a large work. Even so, at his death a number of pieces for orchestra were found among his manuscripts, as were two operas. During his life he was known mainly for his chamber music; he also taught theory for a time in Chicago. One of his songs, "A Spirit Flower", was recorded by the Swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling.
He died in Paris on May 1, 1921.[2] His last composition was titled "Day's End".[1]

Amongst other compositions, he wrote the following tone poems:
Beside the Sea. (Op.3 No.1).
The Sea Shell. (Op.3 No.2).
Confession. (Op.3. No.3).
Summertide. (Op.3. No.4).
Longing. (Op.3. No.5).
