Synopsis

Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 23: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish, From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time

Besides the pieces above mentioned, a complete set of church services, in the key of F, and three full anthems, were published in 1790; by Dr. Arnold, in his Collec tion of Cathedral Music, vol. III. In these services the doctor first displayed his great skill in setting words. Se~ veral other compositions of much merit still remain in manuscript. The chief of these are an Ode on the Death of Handel, in score, with choruses and a great part of Dr. Brown's Cure of Saul, composed as a regular cra torio; from which work Dr. Nares desisted out of regard to his friend and pupil, Dr. Arnold, by whom it was also undertaken, and completed in a masterly manner.'
