📖 “At the age of nine [Thomas Attwood] became a chorister in the Chapel Royal, where he had the advantage of studying under Nares and Ayrton ; he soon distinguished himself so much that the Prince of Wales sent him to Italy for further training. From 1783 to 1784 he was at Naples under Fiuppo Cinque and Gaetano Latilla, and afterwards at Vienna under Mozart, who entertained a favourable opinion of his talents. He returned to England in 1787, and at once received several appointments. In 1796 he became organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, and composer to the Chapel Royal. In 1821 he was nominated organist of George IV.'s private chapel at Brighton, and in 1836 organist of the Chapel Royal. Attwood was on friendly terms with both Mozart and Mendelssohn, and thus forms a rare link between these two musical natures. His activity as a composer may be divided into two periods; in the first he devoted himself exclusively to opera, in the second to sacred music. He worked diligently in both branches, and obtained favourable results (19 operas, many anthems, services, and other vocal works, also pf. sonatas, etc.). He ranks among England's most distinguished composers."
Hugo Riemann Dictionary of Music (1896)
