Full biography Michael Arne
Michael Arne was an English composer who lived from 1740 (or 1741) to January 14, 1786. He was the son of composer Thomas Arne and the soprano Cecilia Young , and his father's influence helped to shape his career. Like his father, Michael Arne primarily worked as a composer of stage music and vocal art songs , and he contributed little to other genres of music. In total, he wrote nine operas and collaborated on others.
Arne was also a harpsichordist , organist, singer, and actor. He worked as an organist at St. Clement Danes and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London and wrote psalm settings, hymns, catches, glees, and madrigals. Arne is known for several songs he wrote, including "The Lass with the Delicate Air," which continues to be performed today.
Arne married a woman named Elizabeth, who was also a singer, in 1763. They had one daughter who died young and one son, Michael Arne Jr., who was also a composer. Michael Arne died at the age of 46, leaving behind a legacy of stage music and vocal art songs.
