Thomas Forbes Walmisley

Thomas Forbes Walmisley (22 May 1783 – 10 July 1866) was an organist, and a composer of church music and of glees.

[1][2] In 1810 Walmisley married the eldest daughter of William Capon, an architectural draughtsman.

[1][2] Walmisley died on 10 July 1866, and was buried in the family grave at Brompton Cemetery.

[1][2] His Six Glees were reviewed in October 1830: "We do not perceive in any one of them the semblance of an error, either in composition or in the manner of setting the words, and the parts are constructed with every possible regard to vocal convenience, as well as joint effect.

But we must also say... that we now and then meet with a cadence whose day is past.... On the other hand, the melodies are generally distinct and flowing, and not devoid of elegance...."[4] Attribution
