1German (memoirs of the Berlin Academy). D'Alembert also wrote on musical subjects in the Dictionnaire encyclopédique (1751-72) (Riemann's and Baker's Dictionaries).
3ALESSANDRO, ROMANO, surnamed della Viola from his skill on that instrument, lived in the latter half of the 16th century. He composed music for his own and other instruments, as well as motets and songs, among which are a set of Madrigals called 'Le Vergine' (1554), and 'Canzoni alla Napoletana' for five voices (1572). See list in Quellen-Lexikon. E. H. D.
5ALEXANDER BALUS. The thirteenth of Handel's oratorios; composed next after 'Judas Maccabaeus.' Words by Dr. Morell, who ought to have known better than write Balus for Balas.

7ALEXANDER, JOHANN (or, according to Fétis, JOSEPH), born about 1770, violoncellist at Duisburg at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. He was distinguished more for the beauty of his tone and the excellence of his style than for any great command over technical difficulties. He wrote a good instruction book for his instrument, Anweisung für das Violoncell, Breitkopf and Härtel, 1801; also variations, potpourris, etc. He died in 1822. T. P. H.
9ALEXANDER'S FEAST. An 'ode' of Handel's to Dryden's words, as arranged and added to by Newburgh Hamilton.

13ALFIERI, THE ABBATE Pietro, born at Rome, June 29, 1801, was admitted in early life to Holy Orders; became a Camaldulian monk; and, for many years, held the appointment of Professor of Gregorian Music at the English College in Rome. He was an earnest student both of Plain-song and Polyphonic Music; and published some useful treatises on these subjects, and some valuable collections of the works of the great Polyphonic Composers.
