Oxford in 1788, but the See also:superior attractions of a musical career acquired an increasing See also:influence over him, and in 1790 he was appointed organist of See also:Christ Church. At the early age of twenty-two he was appointed See also:professor of See also:music in the university of Oxford, and there in 1799 he took his degree of See also:doctor in that See also:art. In 1800 and the four following years he read lectures on music at Oxford. Next he was appointed lecturer on music to the Royal Institution, and subsequently, in 1822, See also:principal of the London Royal See also:Academy of Music. His last years were passed at See also:Taunton in the See also:house of his son, the Rev. W. R. Crotch, where he died suddenly on the 29th of See also:December 1847. He published a number of vocal and instrumental compositions, of which the best is his oratorio See also:Palestine, produced in 1812. In 1831 appeared an 8vo See also:volume containing the substance of his lectures on music, delivered at Oxford and in London. Previously, he had published three volumes of Specimens of Various Styles of Music. Among his didactic See also:works is Elements of Musical See also:Composition and Thorough-See also:Bass (London, 1812). The oratorio bearing the See also:title The Captivity of Judah, and produced on the occasion of the See also:installation of the See also:duke of See also:Wellington as See also:chancellor of the university of Oxford in 1834, is a totally different See also:work from that which he wrote upon the same subject as a boy of fourteen. He arranged for the See also:pianoforte a number of See also:Handel's oratorios and operas, besides symphonies and quartetts of See also:Haydn, See also:Mozart and See also:Beethoven. The See also:great expectations excited by his See also:infant precocity were not fulfilled; for he manifested no extraordinary See also:genius for musical composition. But he was an industrious student and a See also:sound artist, and his name remains See also:familiar in English musical See also:history.
