  HOASM: Thomas Roseingrave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Born in Winchester in 1691, where his father Daniel Roseingrave was organist before being appointed to St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, in 1698.
Thomas was so promising a musician that the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's gave him a grant to study in Italy in 1709, where he became a friend of Domenico Scarlatti.
However, Roseingrave's virtuoso playing drew mixed comments: Hawkins found it 'harsh and disgusting, manifesting great learning, but void of eloquence and variety' whilst Burney wrote that he 'had a power of seizing the parts and spirits of a score and executing the most difficult music at sight beyond any musician in Europe'.

Thomas was so promising a musician that the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's gave him a grant to study in Italy, where he became a friend of the two Scarlattis and a devotee of the works of Palestrina.
Roseingrave's virtuoso playing drew mixed comments: Hawkins found it 'harsh and disgusting, manifesting great learning, but void of eloquence and variety' whilst Burney wrote that he 'had a power of seizing the parts and spirits of a score and executing the most difficult music at sight beyond any musician in Europe'.
He was appointed as Roseingrave's assistant, succeeding to the full post when Roseingrave retired to Ireland.

 Domenico Scarlatti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soon after this his father sent him to Venice; no record exists of his next four years.
In 1709 he went to Rome in the service of the exiled Polish queen Marie Casimire; while in Rome he met Thomas Roseingrave who would later lead the enthusiastic reception of the composer's sonatas in London.
There is a story that in a trial of skill with George Frideric Handel at the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni in Rome he was judged perhaps superior to Handel on that instrument, although inferior on the organ.

 scarlatti
Roseingrave carried the new of Scarlatti's excellence back to England, in so doing laying the foundations for a long-lasting Scarlatti influence in English keyboard practices.
Like his father he was regarded as a modest and charming man, unlikely to resort to arrogance or displays of petulance, and this no doubt endeared him to the Queen and other composers.
The remainder, apart from a collection of 42 suites printed under the auspicies of Thomas Roseingrave, remained in the possession of the Portuguese royal family for whose sole pleasure they were composed.

 Eleventh Biennial International Conference on Baroque Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Roseingraves were a very prominent family of musicians living in Dublin in the first half of the eighteenth century.
Authorship of ‘Roseingrave’s’ sacred music is attributed to Daniel senior, Ralph and Thomas in the New Grove Dictionary of Music, but the basis of the division of the works is not clear.
A comprehensive overview of the surviving sources for sacred music by ‘Roseingrave’ is presented and the information gleaned from these sources together with biographical information is used to propose a provisional worklist.

 Thomas Arne - Biographical Summary
Thomas Augustine Arne was born in King Street, Covent Garden, London on or about 12th March, 1710 and was baptised 11 weeks later on 28th May at the church of St. Paul's, Covent Garden.
But later in life he also managed to lose most of his wealth and had to earn extra cash by acting as a numberer of the boxes at Drury Lane Theatre.
He not only taught him to play the violin but also took him to various musical events including going to hear Roseingrave compete for the post of organist at Hanover Square and a visit to Oxford in 1733 to hear Handel's opera 'Athalia'.

 CD Review - The Organ
The organs played here include St Helen Bishopsgate (Thomas Griffin 1743), St Mary Rotherhithe (John Byfield II 1765), Finchcocks (John Byfield II 1766), St James Chapel, Great Packington (Thomas Parker 1747), and Grosvenor Chapel (William Drake 1991).
The latter is housed in the restored case of 1732 by Abraham Jordan, the Swell Stopped Diapason having original 18th century pipework.
By following the score whilst listening to the CD, aspiring players without the benefit of a teacher who specialises in this area can take the form of "distance master class", presenting patterns of performance practice which may cause problems to the inexperienced.

 Toccata Music Shop - Naxos - 8.555047 Scarlatti - Complete Keyboard Sonatas, Vol.3
The keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti survive in part in a number of eighteenth century manuscripts, some clearly from the collection of Queen Maria Barbara, possibly bequeathed to the great Italian castrato Farinelli, who was employed at the Spanish court, and now in Venice.
Various sets of sonatas were published during the composer’s lifetime, including a set of thirty issued in Venice or, perhaps, in London in 1738, and 42 published in London by Thomas Roseingrave in 1739, including the thirty already available from the earlier publication.
In more recent times the sonatas were edited by Alessandro Longo, who provided the numerical listing under L, and in 1953 the American harpsichordist Ralph Kirkpatrick provided a new listing, distinguished by the letter K. Stylistic grounds have suggested a further changed listing by Giorgio Pestelli, under the letter P. Keith Anderson
