Sir John Goss (Sir John Goss from December 27, 1800 to May 10, 1880) is British organist, composer, school teacher.

Gosse born in the family having high musical culture enters the choir of chapel royal in London and is apprenticed to Thomas Atwood that was the organist of the Saint Paul sanctuary afterwards. After having spent it as a member of chorus of the opera performance company for a while, I am elected at a church of south London by an organist. I finally reached the job of the Saint Paul sanctuary when I acted as the organist of the cent rook church of more famous Chelsea and made an effort for the improvement of the music standard there.

Of the thing which Gosse as the composer wrote only some musical performance musical pieces is religious, and is known by secular vocal music music. The one which is the most famous in his work of the hymn named "be full King is (Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven) and "See, Amid the Winter's Snow" in our God". I describe it as the last person whom the music commentator of the Times limits it only to most church music in the genealogy of the British composer about Gosse and composed.

Gosse tell me in the Saint Paul sanctuary while I acted as a professor of the harmony of the royal music academy from 1827 through 1874. The person who is famous for his disciple in the academy needs Arthur Sullivan, Frederick Coe wen, Frederick bridge. It is John ステイナー which succeeded the organist of the sanctuary following one of Gosse to be the most famous in the students in the Saint Paul sanctuary.

Life

The childhood period

 

The house where Gosse lived in with fair ham

The family of Gosse was comfortable environment musically. Joseph Gosse (Joseph-) of father was an organist of the fair ham (English version) parish church of Hampshire, and the family has been a singer famous before [¹]. When Gosse became 8 years old, I entered the school of ring Wood (English version). Three years later, he goes to London by care of John Jeremiah Gosse (-Jeremiah-) of the uncle. This uncle was the person who sang in an alto by chapel royal, Saint Paul sanctuary, a choir of Westminster Abbey. The Gosse boy became the member of the boy chorus of chapel royal [²]. The chorus leader of the church at the time was John Stafford Smith known as having composed "to the musical piece Anacreon in Heaven" which became the United States of America national anthem later [³]. Smith as the school teacher was the person who the width of instruction contents of the music was narrow and had a severe doctrine. A chorus of chapel royal should learn him and confiscated the score of the organ concerto of Handel whom Gosse had for the reason of a thing being a song, and not being a performance [²]. Gosse recollects it in this way later.

If I remember correctly, during 2:00 was time of "writing classroom Writing Master" from half past 12 from Wednesday to Saturday. Ten of us read and wrote except that time and did not get it at time to learn arithmetic and slight English grammar. About a musical instrument performance and the continuous bass, we learned by teaching oneself self-study [²]!

Gosse leaves the choir and comes to live on the cause of the uncle when I reach change of the voice in 1816. An uncle was well known as a teacher and told the James tar which became an organist of Westminster Abbey later in those days. However, Gosse is apprenticed to Thomas Atwood that did the organist of the Saint Paul sanctuary [³]. Unlike Smith who was strict with stubbornness, Atwood that was a pupil of Mozart was ever wide sympathy and a person with the kind temperament. Mendelssohn called him "dear Atwood aged priest" [²]. Gosse came to follow Atwood and learned a technique of composition and the orchestration with him [³].

The chorus of opera performance company increased Gosse who was not able to get the organist's post at the beginning and earned a fund. He goes up it to the stage of the British premiere of "Don Giovanni" who received kings theater in April, 1817 under the conduct of the Henry Raleigh bishop. The performance of this time was "a thing tinkered with badly by the conduct of the bishop" [²].

In an initial work of Gosse with "Negro Song" (1819) for singers of small orchestra (string ensemble, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn 2) and three [³]. With romantic song "Wert thou like me" which Gosse composed it in poetry of Walter Scott elsewhere [²], and gave to the Lucy Emma nerd (Lucy Emma Nerd from 1800 to 1895) of the fiance [³] [⁴].

I it as an organist, a school teacher

 

Chelsea, the cent rook church inside

Gosse who married a fiance in 1821 is appointed as an organist of stock well chapel (Stockwell) [^{note 1}] of south London. He who served here for four years fought successfully through competition and shot the job of the cent rook church [^{note 2}] of Chelsea where had higher position than this dead in December, 1824 [³]. When the yearly income at this church converted this into a value of money of 2009 for 100 pounds, was the sum more than 80,000 pounds [⁵]; [^{note 3}].

Gosse writes few musical performance musical pieces at this time. F minor of the composition and two overtures of the strange E major gave the first public performance in 1827 in about 1824 and it was published and gained considerable success [⁴]. The incidental music to melodrama "The Serjeant's Wife" of the John bay nim (English version) was staged in Royal Opera House on July 24, 1827. The only comment for the person of composition with the observer "was the thing that it was to neither poison nor medicine as for the music by Mr. Gosse." [⁶]. After this, Gosse came to avoid composing a musical performance musical piece and has declined this when the request of the orchestra work came from association of royal Phil harmonic in 1833 [²]. For a composer, Gosse comes to be known for vocal music music. His song and work to a glee (English version) were played well and got a high evaluation with the music magazine [⁴].

Gosse took office as a professor of the harmony of the royal music academy while remaining an organist of Chelsea and, in 1827, stayed in this post until 1874 [⁴]. The student who saw trouble in teacher life in these 47 years has Arthur Sullivan, Frederick Coe wen, Frederick bridge and others. I write down Judith ブレッツァード (Judith Blezzard) which is his biographer about a person image of Gosse as follows. "Capably also [⁴] that in the teachers who did not spare trouble and a hobby brought about the effect that was splendid from this musical instrument which was relatively still unripe as the organist who was well good at art."

In 1833, Gosse applied for Gresham medal prize (Gresham) to compete for the best work of the original religious vocal music music in one's own anthem "Have mercy upon me, O God". His work tore "The Wilderness" of Samuel Sebastian ウェスレー and got a prize [²]. Gosse gave this anthem to Thomas Atwood that was an ex-teacher, and the music was played in an apartment house in June, 1834 [²]. Other major works of Gosse of 1833 are doctrine "basics of harmony and continuous bass An Introduction to Harmony and Thorough-Bass". This doctrine came to be used widely and went through a version to the 14th edition [³].

Work in the Saint Paul sanctuary

 

Decoration in the Saint Paul sanctuary

When Atwood left the world in 1838, I hoped that Gosse succeeded him and became the organist of the Saint Paul sanctuary. He demanded advice from father Sydney Smith who was the capitular of the sanctuary, but the father said to 34 pounds that an annual salary stood to him that it was and was hot. I answered that Gosse who must support a family might not apply for this job. However, Smith noticed some post of organist additional income being got afterwards, and room for reconsideration in this way produced it in Gosse [²]. In that way he would be appointed these duties, but he was employed immediately because an organist played merely organ and realized that there was little influence to give other musical elements in the sanctuary. It was Beckwith (Beckwith) ealdorman of 後唱者 [^{note 4}] to have managed music, but he was a difference with the Hawes (Hawes) ealdorman of the person in charge of charity that was the instruction of the child chorus [^{note 5}] [⁷]. In addition, directors of the sanctuary were not interested in the increase of the music standard. A viewpoint of Sydney Smith is typical. "Therefore if even prayer was possible (omission), it was enough for our music, and the thing called the song deserved very dependent consideration.", and there was the person who was unconcerned for which thought to co-workers of Smith, and duties were abandoned because a young priest became absent, and the situation that I could not worship produced it frequently [⁸].

Gosse was the person whom piety and gentle character were characterized by. I write down John ステイナー of his pupil in this way. "The everyday effect that it was apparent that it was said, and his religion music was about to accuse for the public again that he lived a religious life to anyone if it was Gosse and the person with the relation was the element which was disadvantageous when the gentleness of [⁹] that the fact attested it." him was going to wrestle against difficult singers. Because tenor and the all of the bus had the holding the post right for the life and were not interested to learn new music, there was not the art that Gosse did for their dereliction [¹⁰]. I wrote down the Jeremy dibber of the biographer in this way. "[¹¹] that his confidence was completely lost by hostility turned for anthem "Blessed is the man" well-done (Gosse) of the composition in 1842 and received a request when he was able to no longer write anthem, and the state funeral of the first generation Wellington duke was performed in 1852 and at last was able to write two pieces of anthem."

ステイナー which belonged to the boy chorus in the case of a funeral service of the Duke of Wellington recollects it about the power that music of Gosse showed in a rehearsal later. When "did not hear the sound of the pianissimo of last several measures, the arrival, all people trembled with faith mind named the truth from the depth of the heart deep quietness for a while, and and the largest blessings from every area of the meeting place to a person of composition gradually went up;, as for the big good faith and もったものは, the haze which included it of the respect, "applause" and [¹²] that was not able to virtually call it." ステイナー did not very usually worship a teacher. He remembers the story of Sullivan and the case that was not able to bear laughter in two people later. Though "I started a roaring sound such as the thunder that Gosse stepped over the pedal of the organ during worship absentmindedly once and walked, and the people who gathered in the worship were frightened, and sermon suspended it, at last I noticed it." [²]

Later years

Gosse planned a performance of "the Messiah" of Handel in order to stand, and to put up a foundation to install a new organ in the Saint Paul sanctuary in 1861 and stood to the podium. This became the performance of the first oratorio performed in a sanctuary [¹³]. Along the style of Victoria morning service charges, the performance was carried out on the big scale by 600 performers [¹³].

It was the early 1870s, and Gosse was apt to fall sick. It was worship to give thanks to the recovery from a serious illness of Prince Wales performed in February of the year that became the last performance in the sanctuary for him who decided a retirement by 1872. He performed composition to "Te Deum" for this worship and composed anthem "The Lord is my strength" [⁴]. In the next month, he handed over the job of the sanctuary to ステイナー which was an ex-pupil [⁴].

Gosse finished a life of 79 at home of Brixton of south London. The worship to mourn for him was held in Saint Paul sanctuary [¹], and he was buried in the Kensal Green graveyard (English version) [⁴].

Honor and memory

Gosse was conferred a knight to with Sullivan after resignation immediately. A honorary music doctor is conferred in 1876 by Cambridge University [⁴].

The monument which Gosse memorialized in 1886 was erected in the Saint Paul sanctuary [⁴]. Lorre leaf by ヘイモ Thornycroft (English version) is treated by the upper part and start of his sung anthem "If we believe" digs it with burial of remains worship of Gosse in the sanctuary and is crowded [¹]. 100 years passed from death of Gosse, and association of fair ham raised blue plaque in his former house [¹⁴].

Work

In new glove world music serious matter celebration, I describe W.H. ハスク (Husk) and the blues car (Bruce Carr) in this way about Gosse. As "a comfortable vocal music work, the glee of Gosse won popularity for a long time, and, I increased later, and most of of his anthem were written in the fame of him as the composer of the church music in after 1850, and it was elegant for poetry, and-like they of the praise pulled the words of the person at the same period, and it "was always written a melody for the voice beautifully wealthily in total, and, according to it, the music provided carefully." wrote the music of Gosse in Judith ブレッツァード in [¹⁵] that durability with the charm that was natural with certain simplicity and the fusion of the elegance deserved attention." Oxford D.N.B. in this way.

Gosse was one of the most important people among composers of the church music of Victoria morning service charges. As for the anthem and the worship music that he wrote, a phrase is flexible, and warm attention is paid for poetry, and a superior thing is mentioned specially in harmony and a sense of the balance. (omission) anthem "If we believe that Jesus died" written for a funeral service of Duke Wellington in 1852 left a deep impression. He produces anthem "Praise the Lord, o my soul" for the festival [^{note 6}] of the son of the clergyman in 1854. (omission), in his anthem such as "The Wilderness" (1861), "O taste and see" (1863), "O saviour of the world" (1869), there is the musical piece that continues occupying the position not to trade in English church music although being modest [⁴].

ブレッツァード adds that Gosse is memorized mainly by two very famous hymns. It is "Praise my soul the King of Heaven" (1869) and "See, amid the winter's snow" (1871) [⁴].

With the D.N.B. of 1890, Fuller mate land (English version) wrote it down in this way. "O taste and see" pulls out "O Saviour of the World", and, as for the mate land which it "is characteristic that the best work of Gosse is very elegant and sweet, but it does a firm theory and a study of the counterpoint with the groundwork, and is the last and the person that it is in the genealogy of the prominent composer of the U.K. which I cannot help imagining it when the part which there is at least of this happy combination is a thing brought through Atwood by Mozart, and Gosse hardly limits it only to church music and composed.", glee work "Ossian's Hymn to the Sun" praises anthem "The Wilderness" in a work of Gosse in particular [¹].
