See also:LOWE, JOHANN KARL GOTTFRIED (1796-1869) , See also:German composer, was See also:born at Lobejun, near See also:Halle, on the 3oth of See also:November 1796, and was a See also:choir-boy at Kothen from 1807 to 1809, when he went to the Franke See also:Institute at Halle, studying See also:music with Turk. The beauty of Lowe's See also:voice brought him under the See also:notice of Madame de See also:Stael, who procured him a See also:pension from See also:Jerome See also:Bonaparte, then See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king of See also:Westphalia; this stopped in 1813, on the See also:flight of the king. He entered the University of Halle as a theological student, but was appointed cantor at See also:Stettin in 182o, and director of the See also:town music in 1821, in which See also:year he married Julie von See also:Jacob, who died in 1823. His second wife, Auguste See also:Lange, was an accomplished See also:singer, and they appeared together in his See also:oratorio performances with See also:great success. He retained his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office at Stettin for 46 years, when, after a stroke of See also:paralysis, he was somewhat summarily dismissed. He retired to See also:Kiel, and died on the loth of See also:April 1869. He undertook many See also:concert See also:tours during his See also:tenure of the See also:post at Stettin, visiting See also:Vienna, See also:London, See also:Sweden, See also:Norway and See also:Paris. His high See also:soprano voice (he could sing the music of the " See also:Queen of See also:Night " in See also:Die Zauberflote as a boy) had See also:developed into a See also:fine See also:tenor. Lowe was a voluminous composer, and wrote five operas, of which only one, Die drei Wiinsche, was performed at See also:Berlin in 1834, without much success; seventeen oratorios, many of them for male voices, unaccompanied, or with See also:short instrumental interludes only; choral See also:ballads, cantatas, three See also:string quartets, a See also:pianoforte trio; a See also:work for See also:clarinet and piano, published posthumously; and some piano solos. But the See also:branch of his See also:art by which he is remembered, and in which he must be admitted to have attained perfection, is the See also:solo ballad with pianoforte See also:accompaniment. His treatment of See also:long narrative poems, in a See also:clever mixture of the dramatic and lyrical styles, was undoubtedly modelled on the ballads of Zumsteeg, and has been copied by many composers since his See also:day. His settings of the " See also:Erlkonig " (a very See also:early example), " See also:Archibald See also:Douglas," " Heinrich der See also:Vogler," " See also:Edward " and " Die Verfallene Mtihle," are particularly fine.
