13Arnold, Samuel, celebrated English composer, organist and music scholar; b. London, Aug. 10, 1740; d. there, Oct. 22, 1802. He received his musical training from Gates and Nares as a chorister of the Chapel Royal. He early showed a gift for composition, and was commissioned to arrange the music for a play The Maid of the Mill; for this he selected songs by some 20 composers, including Bach, and added several numbers of his own; the resulting pasticcio was produced with success at Covent Garden (Jan. 31, 1765). This was the first of his annual productions for Covent Garden and other theaters in London, of which the following were composed mainly by Arnold: Harlequin Dr. Faustus (Nov. 18, 1766); The Royal Garland (Oct. 10, 1768); The Magnet (June 27, 1771); A Beggar on Horseback (June 16, 1785); The Gnome (Aug. 5, 1788); New Spain, or Love in Mexico (July 16, 1790); The Surrender of Calais (July 30, 1791); The Enchanted Wood (July 25, 1792); The Sixty-Third Letter (July 18, 1802).
