Hamilton, both stationed in the Mediterranean, where he appears to have been very actively employed against the pirates in the Grecian Archipelago, and to have shared in the battle of Navarin 20 Oct. 1827. The Cambrian being ultimately wrecked while engaged in action with the pirates of Fort Carabusa, 31 Jan. 1828, Mr. Caffin next joined for brief periods, on the Home and Mediterranean stations, the Gloucester 74, Capt.

​BYRON, Lord. (Captain, 1814. f-p., 15; h-p., 32.)
The Right Honourable George Anson, Lord Byron, born 8 March, 1789, is eldest son of Capt. Geo. Anson Byron, R.N., who died in 1793, by Charlotte Henrietta, daughter of Robt. Dallas, Esq., of Dallas Castle, Jamaica; grandson of Admiral Hon. John Byron, a Midshipman under Lord Anson in his voyage round the world, who died in 1786; first cousin of the immortal poet, whom he succeeded in the family honours and estates, 19 April, 1824; and cousin also of the late Rear-Admiral Rich. Byron, C.B., who commanded the Belvidera in her celebrated retreat from the American squadron under Coramodore Rodgers, and died in 1837.
This officer entered the Navy, in Dec. 1800, as a Volunteer, on board the Hindostan 50, Capts. Jas. Mulock and Sam. Mottley, stationed at the Cape of Good Hope; removed, as Midshipman, in March, 1801, to the Tremendous 74, Capt. John Osborn, with whom he sailed for the East Indies; and, from March, 1802, until the spring of 1807, was successively employed, on that station, in the Chiffonne 36, Capt. Henry Stuart, Centurion 50, Capt. John Spratt Rainier, Tremendous again, Capt. Osborn, and Culloden 74, flag-ship of Sir Edw. Pellew. He then returned to England with convoy in the Concorde frigate; obtained his first commission 24 Aug. in the same year; and, in Feb. 1808, joined the Tartar 32, Capts. Geo. Edm. Byron Bettesworth and Joseph Baker. On 15 May ensuing, Lieut. Byron was present, off Bergen, when Capt. Bettesworth was killed and the Tartar severely cut up by the fire of a Norwegian armed schooner and five gun-boats. He was also, on various occasions, actively employed in the Tartar’s boats. We next find him serving from 8 Dec. 1808, until advanced to the rank of Commander, 1 Feb. 1812, in the Barfleur 98, flag-ship of Vice- Admiral Hon. ​Geo. Cranfield Berkeley, on the Lisbon station. He was afterwards appointed, 24, Feb. and 6 Dec. 1813, to the Woodlark 10, and Penguin 18, on the Baltic and Channel stations; and, on 7 June, 1814, was promoted to Post-rank. Lord Byron’s last appointment afloat was, 5 June, 1824, to the command of the Blonde 42, in which frigate he conveyed from this country the remains of the late King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands. While there he had the satisfaction of erecting a monument to the memory of the great circumnavigator, Cook, near the very spot where he lost his life. The Blonde returned home and was paid off 15 Dec. 1826.
Lord Byron, who is a Lord in Waiting on Her Majesty, married, 18 March, 1816, Elizabeth Mary, daughter of the late, and sister of the present, Sacheverel Chandos Pole, of Radborne, co. Dorset, by whom he has issue four sons and two daughters. Agents – Messrs. Stilwell.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Wüllner, Franz

​WÜLLNER, Franz, born Jan. 28, 1832, at Munster, son of a distinguished philologist, director of the Gymnasium at Düsseldorf. Franz attended the Gymnasium of Münster till 1848, and passed the final examination; studying the piano and composition with Carl Arnold up to 1846, and afterwards with Schindler. In 1848 Wüllner followed Schindler to Frankfort, and continued his studies with him and F. Kessler till 1852. The winter of 1852–3 he passed in Brussels, frequently playing in public, and enjoying the society of Fétis, Kufferath, and other musicians. As a pianist he confined himself almost entirely to Beethoven's concertos and sonatas, especially the later ones. He then made a concert-tour through Bonn, Cologne, Bremen, Münster, etc., and spent some little time in Hanover and Leipzig. In March 1854 he arrived in Munich, and on Jan. 1, 1856, became PF. Professor at the Conservatorium there. In 1858 he became music-director of the town of Aix-la-Chapelle, being elected unanimously out of fifty-four candidates. Here he conducted the subscription concerts, and the vocal and orchestral unions. He turned his attention mainly to the orchestra and chorus, and introduced for the first time many of the great works to the concert-hall of Aix. In 1861 he received the title of Musikdirector to the King of Prussia, and in 1864 was joint-conductor with Rietz of the 41st Lower Rhine Festival.
In the autumn of 1864 Wüllner returned to Munich as court-Capellmeister to the King. His duty was to conduct the services at the court-church, and while there he reorganised the choir, and added to the répertoire many fine church-works, especially of the early Italian school. He also organised concerts for the choir, the programmes of which included old Italian, old German, and modern music, sacred and secular. In the autumn of 1867 he took the organisation and direction of the vocal classes in the king's new School of Music, and on Bülow's resignation the whole production department came into his hands, with the title of 'Inspector of the School of Music,' and in 1875 of 'Professor Royal.' During this time he wrote his admirable 'Choral Exercises ​for the Munich School of Music,' an English edition of which, by A. Spengel, is now published (London: Forsyth).
When Wüllner succeeded Bülow at the Court Theatre in 1869, he found himself plunged into personal difficulties of all kinds connected with the production of Wagner's 'Rheingold'; but his tact and ability surmounted all, and the result was an unqualified success. The Rheingold was followed by the 'Walküre,' one of the most brilliant achievements of the Munich stage in modern times, and in 1870 Wüllner was appointed court-Capellmeister in chief. He also succeeded Bülow as conductor of the concerts of the Academy of Music, and carried them on alone till Levi was associated with him in 1872. In 1877 he left Munich, in order to succeed Rietz at Dresden as Capellmeister of the court-theatre, and artist-director of the Conservatorium, and here he remained until called to fill the place of Hiller at Cologne, April 1, 1885.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/York Musical Festival

​YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The first festival was in 1791, and they were continued annually till 1803. [See Festivals, York; vol. i. p. 516b.] After that no other festival took place until 1823, when the performance was revived for the benefit of the York County Hospital, and the Infirmaries at Leeds, Sheffield and Hull. The scheme consisted of four sacred concerts, including the Messiah in its entirety, held in the Cathedral on the mornings of Sept. 23 to 25, three secular evening concerts, and two balls given in the Assembly Rooms. The vocalists were Mme. Catalani (who usurped 'Comfort ye,' 'Every valley,' and 'Non più andrai'), Mrs. Salmon, Misses Stephens, D. Travis, and Goodall, sopranos; Knyvett and Buggins, altos; Bellamy, Sherwood, and Placci, bass. The band and chorus contained 180 instrumentalists and 285 vocalists; in the former were Cramer and Mori, leaders; Griesbach, Ella, Lindley, Dragonetti, Puzzi, Harper, etc., Greatorex was conductor, Matthew Camidge (who had officiated in 1791) and his son John, Knapton, and White, organists. The festival was rendered noteworthy from the receipts being larger than those at any previous meeting, viz. £16,174 16s. 8d. The sum of £7200 was divided between the charities. A long and voluminous account is given of the above in a 4to. volume by Mr. John Crosse, F.S.A. York, 1825, to which we are indebted for the above information. One of the evening concerts was rendered memorable by the performance of Beethoven's C minor Symphony under unusual circumstances. A parcel with duplicate orchestral parts did not arrive, and in consequence it was proposed to omit the Symphony. No sooner, however, did Miss Travis begin with the ballad, 'Charlie is my darling,' than a general murmur arose, and one of the stewards (F. Maude, Esq., Recorder of Doncaster), with a stentorian voice, to his honour, called out 'Symphony, Symphony, I insist on the Symphony being played!' Apology was in vain, and at last the Symphony was played with six or eight fiddles to a part.' The reader might naturally suppose' says Crosse (p. 353), 'that the performance failed in giving satisfaction: the contrary, however, was the case; every movement was listened to with attention and hailed with prolonged applause.'
A second festival was held in Sept. 1825, on a similar plan and for the same charities. The band and chorus were increased to 600, and among the vocalists who appeared for the first time were Madame Caradori-Allan, Madame Malibran (then Miss Garcia), Braham, Phillips, and De Begnis. The receipts were still larger, viz. £20,876 10s.; but owing to the cost of a concert-hall for the evening concerts, the profits were not in proportion, £1900 only being divided among the charities.

​PEVERNAGE, Andreas, born in the year 1543, at Courtrai, in Flanders. He held an appointment in his native town until his marriage, June 15, 1574, and soon after moved to Antwerp as choirmaster in the cathedral. There he led an active life, composing, editing, and giving weekly performances at his house of the best native and foreign music. He died at the age of 48, and was buried in the cathedral. Sweertius describes him as 'vir ad modestiam factus, et totus candidus, quæ in Musico mireris, quibus cum leviusculis notis annata levitas videtur.' The same author gives the following epitaph:—

From volume 2 of the work.
​PETRELLA, Enrico, was born at Palermo Dec. 1 [App. p.746 "Dec. 10"], 1813, and learnt music at Naples under Zingarelli, Bellini, and Ruggi. He made his first appearance at Majella in 1829, with the opera 'Il Diavolo color di rosa.' It was followed by four ​others, and then, after an interval, by 'LePrecauzioni,' [App. p.746 "May 20, 1851 at Naples"] which remains his masterpiece in comic opera. [App. p.746 "add 'Elena di Tolosa,' 1852."] At the Scala he brought out 'Marco Visconti' (1855) [App. p.746 "1854"]; 'L'Assedio di Leyda' (1856); 'Ione' (1858); 'Il duca di Scilla' (1859); and 'Morosina' (1862). After this nearly every year produced its opera, but we need only mention 'Giovanna Il di Napoli' (Naples, Feb. 27, 1869)—said in some respects to surpass 'Ione,' which up to that time was his chef-d'œuvre—and 'I promessi sposi' (Lecco, Oct. 2, 1869). For the latter Petrella was called before the curtain 27 times in the first evening! In 1873 he produced 'Manfredo' at Rome; it was greatly applauded, and a silver crown presented to the composer.
