| English, Eton-educated composer who studied the harpsichord and violin against the wishes of his father. He muffled the sound of the harpsichord with a handkerchief over the strings, so that his father wouldn’t hear. He was most successful in his operatic compositions. The national song Rule Brittania comes from his masque Alfred. | ||
