THOMAS See also:AUGUSTINE (1710-1778) , See also:English musical composer, was See also:born in See also:London on the 12th of See also:March 1710, his See also:father being an See also:upholsterer. Intended for the legal profession, he was educated at See also:Eton, and afterwards apprenticed to an See also:attorney for three years. His natural inclination for See also:music, however, proved irresistible, and his father, finding from his performance at an See also:amateur musical party that he was already a skilful violinist, furnished him with the means of educating himself in his favourite See also:art. On the 7th of March 1733 he produced his first See also:work at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn See also:Fields See also:theatre, a setting of See also:Addison's See also:Rosamond, the heroine's See also:part being performed by his See also:sister, Susanna Maria, who afterwards became celebrated as Mrs See also:Cibber. This proving a success was immediately followed by a burletta, entitled The See also:Opera of Operas, based on See also:Fielding's Tragedy of Tragedies. The part of Tom Thumb was played by Arne's See also:young See also:brother, and the opera was produced at the See also:Hay-See also:market theatre. On the 19th of See also:December 1733 Arne produced at the same theatre the masque See also:Dido and See also:Aeneas, a subject of which the musical conception had been immortalized for Englishmen more than See also:half a See also:century earlier by See also:- HENRY

Arne's individuality of See also:style first distinctly asserted itself in the music to Dr See also:Dalton's See also:adaptation of See also:Milton's Comets, which was per-formed at See also:Drury See also:Lane in 1738, and speedily established his reputation. In 1740 he wrote the music for See also:Thomson and See also:Mallet's Masque of See also:Alfred, which is noteworthy as containing the most popular of all his airs—" See also:Rule, Britannia!" In 1740 he also wrote his beautiful settings of the songs, " Under the See also:green-See also:wood See also:- TREE (0. Eng. treo, treow, cf. Dan. tree, Swed.

Four years before this, in 1736, he had married See also:Cecilia, the eldest daughter of See also:Charles Young, organist of All Hallows See also:Barking. She was considered the finest English See also:singer of the See also:day and was frequently engaged by See also:Handel in the performance of his music. In 1742 Arne went with his wife to See also:Dublin, where he remained two years and produced his See also:oratorio See also:Abel, containing the beautiful See also:melody known as the Hymn of See also:Eve, the operas Britannia, Eliza and Cosnus, and where he also gave a number of successful concerts. On his return to London he was engaged as See also:leader of the See also:band at Drury Lane theatre (1744), and as composer at See also:Vauxhall (1745). In this latter See also:year he composed his successful See also:pastoral See also:dialogue, See also:Colin and See also:Phoebe, and in 1746 the See also:song, " Where the See also:bee sucks."

Oxford. In 176o he transferred his services to Covent See also:Garden theatre, where on the 28th of See also:November he produced his Thomas and Sally. Here, too, on the and of See also:February 1762 he produced his See also:Artaxerxes, an opera in the See also:Italian style with recitative instead of spoken dialogue, the popularity of which is attested by the fact that it continued to be performed at intervals for upwards of eighty years. The libretto, by Arne himself, was a very poor See also:translation of See also:Metastasio's Artaserse. In 1762 also was produced the ballad-opera Love in a Cottage. His oratorio See also:Judith, of which the first 'performance was on the 27th of February 1761 at Drury Lane, was revived at the See also:chapel of the See also:Lock See also:hospital, Pimlico, on the
29th of February 1764, in which year was also performed his setting of Metastasio's Olimpiade in the See also:original See also:language at the See also:- KING

In 1769 he wrote the musical parts for See also:Garrick's See also:ode for the Shakespeare See also:jubilee at See also:Stratford-on-See also:Avon, and in 1770 he gave a mutilated version of Purcell's King See also:Arthur.

Mason's See also:Caractacus, published in 1775. Though inferior to Purcell in intensity of feeling, Arne has not been surpassed as a composer of graceful and attractive melody. There is true See also:genius in such airs as "Rule, Britannia!" and " Where the bee sucks," which still retain their original freshness and popularity. As a writer of glees he does not take such high See also:rank, though he deserves See also:notice as the leader in the revival of that peculiarly English See also:form of See also:composition. He was author as well as composer of The See also:Guardian outwitted, The See also:Rose, The Contest of Beauty and Virtue, and Phoebe at See also:Court. Dr Arne died on the 5th of March 1778, and was buried at St See also:Paul's, Covent Garden.
