Warren at­tend­ed Ra­cine Coll­ege in Wis­con­sin, then played the or­gan at St. Peter’s Epis­co­pal Church (1846-1858) and St. Paul’s Church (1858-1860) in Al­ba­ny, New York. In 1860, he moved to New York City to be­come or­gan­ist at Ho­ly Trin­i­ty Church. After 10 years there, he be­came or­gan­ist and choir di­rect­or at St. Thom­as’ Church in New York City. No mu­sic was played at his fun­er­al, at­tend­ed by thou­sands, as the mourn­ers be­lieved they could find no fin­er or­gan­ist. War­ren’s works in­clude:

• Hymns and Tunes as Sung at St. Thom­as’ Church, 1888
