3Mackenzie, Sir Alexander Campbell. Composer. Born in Edinburgh, in 1847. In 1857 went to Germany, where he studied music. Returned to London in 1862 and became a pupil of Sainton, winning the King's Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music in the same year. In 1865 settled in Edinburgh as a teacher, meanwhile devoting much of his time to composition. Later, after some years spent abroad, settled in London. His compositions—the cantatas "Jason," "Sayid," etc.; the oratorio "The Rose of Sharon," perhaps his best work; the poetic "Dream of Jubal"; his operas "Colomba" and "The Troubadour," together with a great deal of orchestral and other music, have placed him in the front rank of English musicians.
