Oxford, where he was See also:born in 1815; his See also:father afterwards became See also:dean of See also:Salisbury. Pierson was educated at See also:Harrow and Trinity College, See also:Cambridge, and was at first intended for the career of See also:medicine. His musical See also:powers were too strong to be repressed, and after receiving instruction from See also:Attwood and A. T. Corfe he went in 1839 to See also:Germany to study under C. H. Rink, Tomaschek and Reissiger. He was elected See also:Reid See also:Professor of See also:Music in See also:Edinburgh in 1844, but, owing to a disagreement with the authorities, he resigned in the following See also:year, and definitely adopted Germany as his See also:country about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, making the See also:change in his names noted above. His two operas, Leila (See also:Hamburg, 1848) and See also:Contarini (Hamburg, 1872), have not retained their hold upon the See also:German public as his music to See also:Faust has done, a See also:work which until quite recently was frequently associated with See also:Goethe's See also:drama. Ile was never recognized in See also:England as he was in Germany, for most of his career See also:fell in the See also:period of the Mendelssohn See also:fashion. His' most important work was the See also:oratorio See also:Jerusalem, produced at the See also:Norwich Festival of 1852, and subsequently given in See also:London (Sacred See also:Harmonic Society, 1853) and See also:Wurzburg (1862). For the Norwich Festival (at one of the meetings a selection from his Faust music was given with success) he began an oratorio, See also:Hezekiah, in 1869; it was not finished, but was given in a fragmentary See also:condition at the festival of that year. These two large See also:works and a number of Pierson's songs, as well as the three overtures played at the Crystal See also:Palace, reveal undeniable originality and a See also:wealth of melodic ideas. He was weak in contrapuntal skill, and his music was wanting in outline and coherence; but in more fortunate conditions his See also:great gifts might have been turned to better See also:account. He died at See also:Leipzig on the 28th of See also:January 1873, and was buried at Sonning, Berks., of which See also:parish his See also:brother, See also:Canon Pearson, was See also:rector.
