Selected compositions
He also served for a time as the music critic of the Baltimore Evening Sun. He also taught violin at Baltimore's Western High School. Among his students was Ruth Krauss. His wife, Hazel Knox, was a singer who taught in Peabody. Much of Bornschein's output is orchestral, including a number of suites as well as a violin concerto; he also wrote a good deal of chamber music, some songs, and some works for choir which won a handful of prizes. In larger forms, he wrote cantatas, oratorios, and operettas. Some of his music was published under the pseudonym Frank Fairfield. Bornschein died in 1948; his papers are held at the library of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore.
