22Dahm, Johann Jacob (b Kempenich, Eifel, d Mainz, 10 July 1727). German organ builder. He spent the first part of his life in Wurzburg, where he married in 1682, and was probably apprenticed to Nikolaus Will, he is also said to have worked in Bamberg. In response to a summons from the prince archbishop of Mainz, Lothar Franz von Schönborn, to Dahm and other Franconian artists, he settled in Mainz, where on 12 May 1698 he was made a freeman of the city. Seven years later he was engaged as organ builder for the cathedral chapter there. His style was influenced by the organ-building Schleich family from Frankfurt am Main, and he built an organ for the Karmeliterkirche in Frankfurt as well as several instruments in Mainz, including those at the Sebastianskapelle (c1700), Liebfrauenstiftskirche (c1707), Dahlheimer Kloster (c1709, removed to Bretzenheim in 1803), St Nikolaus (in Mainz-Mombach, 1715), St Emmeram (1719) and Reichklarenkloster (1720). His organ in Mainz Cathedral (1701), with its beautiful Baroque case and its pipes surrounding the housing on three sides, is sublimely majestic. Dahm is an important figure in the Mainz organ-building tradition, which also produced the distinguished Joseph Gabler.

32Dahmen [Damen]. Dutch family of German extraction, of whom many achieved distinction, mainly as flute, horn or string players. Wilhelm (b Duisburg, 1731; d Harlingen, 11 Nov 1780), a versatile musician who was primarily a teacher, had a large family of sons, of whom five were specially important. Herman (baptized Sneek, 26 Sept 1755; d Rotterdam, 29 Aug 1830) and Wilhelm (b Harlingen, 1769; d ?Spain) were both noted horn players who visited London: the latter died as a British soldier in the Peninsular War; Herman also composed music for two violins (opp.3, 4, 5, 8) and for orchestra (opp.8, 13). Peter (b Deventer, c1757; d Sneek, 1835) composed chamber music which was published mainly in England. Johan Arnold (i) (baptized The Hague, 9 March 1766, d London, 1794) was a cellist and composed a number of works for strings. Arnold (baptized Harlingen, 19 May 1768; d Amsterdam, 17 Dec 1829) was a teacher (his pupils included L.P.F Drouet) and a celebrated flautist.
34In the next generation, Herman's sons include Wilhelm Hendrik (b Amsterdam, 27 March 1797; d Nijmegen, 15 Dec 1847), a distinguished violinist and esteemed teacher; Jacob (b Amsterdam, 4 May 1798; d Amsterdam, 12 Jan 1875), a violinist (court employee at The Hague in 1829) and composer of chamber music (opp 16, 17 and 19 are known); Johan Cornelis (baptized Rotterdam, 18 Jan 1801, d Rotterdam, 16 Feb 1842), who also played string instruments and was an admired teacher, Herman Jacob (b Rotterdam, 9 Nov 1805, d Utrecht, 4 July 1881), who led the Utrecht orchestra, 1825-75; and his twin brother Johan Arnold (ii) (b Rotterdam, 9 Nov 1805, d The Hague, 6 May 1853), who was a teacher and horn player in the court orchestra at The Hague, 1829-41. Of Arnold's sons, Johan Arnold (iii) (b Amsterdam, 3 Aug 1805; d Amsterdam, 28 Oct 1834) and Pieter Wilhelm (b Amsterdam, 5 Aug 1808, d Amsterdam, 20 June 1886) were solo flautists, the former (who also composed chamber music for flute and strings) at the French Opera, Amsterdam, and in The Hague, the latter at the Park Concerts, Amsterdam, and Hubert (b Amsterdam, 5 Dec 1812, d Amsterdam, 21 Dec 1837), who played the cello in the French Opera orchestra, his compositions, the opera Azalais, four overtures and solo instrumental works, achieved some popularity. Pieter Wilhelm's son Johan Francis Arnold Theodor (b Amsterdam, 2 Aug 1837; d Sloten, 1912) was probably the most distinguished flautist of the family and a fine pianist. He made his début at the age of 15 and later played in the Park Orchestra, transferring to the Concertgebouw on its foundation.
36Two other members of the family achieved distinction: Jacob Arnold Wilhelm (b Amsterdam, 9 Feb 1871) and Jan (b Breda, 30 June 1898) both led the Concertgebouw, and the latter the Berlin Philharmonic, Dresden Opera and Göteborg orchestras as well.

46Dalayrac [D'Alayrac], Nicolas-Marie (b Muret, Haute Garonne, 8 June 1753, d Paris, 26 Nov 1809). French composer. He composed nearly 60 opéras comiques that became extremely popular in both France and the rest of Europe. Although his works are chiefly remembered for their many sentimental romances, they also contain music of dramatic strength.

Nicolas' musical talents were partially cultivated at Toulouse College where he went from the age of eight, and, on his return to Muret six years later, in singing lessons and playing the violin in a local orchestra.
