98DAVIES, MARIANNE and CECILIA, two musical sisters. (1) MARIANNE (b. 1744; d. 1792) first appeared at Hickford's Rooms on Apr. 30, 1751, when she played a concerto for the German flute, and a concerto by Handel on the harpsichord, besides singing some songs. About 1762 she achieved much more repute for her skill on the HARMONICA (q.v.), then recently much improved by Franklin.
100(2) CECILIA (b. 1738; d. July 3, 1836) won considerable renown as a vocalist. She appeared at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, in Nov. 1763, and in 1764 (Dublin Journal, 3811). She seems to have made her first public appearance in London on Aug. 10, 1767, in 'some favourite songs from the operas of "Artaxerxes" and "Caractacus."'
102In 1768 the sisters quitted England and went to Paris and Vienna. Whilst there they lodged in the same house as Hasse, and soon became great favourites at court; they taught the Archduchesses, Maria Theresa's daughters, to sing and act. Metastasio wrote and Hasse composed an ode, performed June 27, 1769, which was sung by Cecilia, accompanied by Marianne on the harmonica. Metastasio, in a letter dated Jan. 16, 1772, describes the beautiful tone of the instrument, and the admirable manner in which Cecilia assimilated her voice to it, so as to render it difficult to distinguish the one from the other. From Vienna the sisters went to Milan, where Cecilia appeared in 1771, with great success, in the opera of 'Ruggiero,' written by Metastasio and composed by Hasse, being the first Englishwoman accepted in Italy as prima donna. The Italians bestowed on her the sobriquet of 'L' Inglesina,' and confessed her to be superior to any Italian singer but Gabrielli. She afterwards sang at Florence. In 1773 the two ladies returned to London, where Cecilia appeared at the Italian Opera in Oct. with the greatest success. She sang in Sacchini's 'Lucio Vero,' on Nov. 20. In the following year she sang at the Hereford Festival. She subsequently revisited Florence, and performed there until about 1784, when she returned to England in poor circumstances. She sang after her return from Florence at the Professional Concert on Feb. 3, 1787, and made her first appearance in oratorio in 1791 at Drury Lane, soon after which she fell into great poverty. About 1817 she published a collection of six songs by Hasse, Jommelli, Galuppi, etc. During the last years of her life she was assisted by the National Fund, the Royal Society of Musicians, etc. (See D.N.B.)

106DAVIES, MARY (b. London, Feb. 27, 1855), mezzo-soprano singer, of Welsh parentage. She was taught music and singing by her father, an amateur, for over fifty years precentor at his chapel, where she made her first appearance as a singer at the age of 8. On June 12, 1873, she made her début in public at Brinley Richards's Concert, Hanover Square Rooms. In the same year she gained the Welsh Choral Union Scholarship at the R.A.M., where she studied singing under Randegger, and in 1876 gained the
