John Frederick Lampe
sax, b, *1703 GB, Saxony
Musician / Composer of Classical
A.k.a. Johann Friedrich Lampe
Born in Saxony probably 1703 – 25 July 1751, and came to England in 1724. Played the bassoon in opera houses. His wife, Isabella Lampe, was sister-in-law to the composer Thomas Arne, with whom Lampe collaborated on a number of concert seasons. John and Isabella's son, Charles John Frederick Lampe, was a successful organist and composer as well. Like Arne, Lampe wrote operatic works in English in defiance of the vogue for Italian opera popularised by George Frideric Handel and [a-Nicola Porpora]. Lampe, along with Henry Carey and J. S. Smith, founded the short-lived English Opera Project. He became a friend of Charles Wesley, and wrote several tunes to accompany Wesley's hymns. His works for the stage include the mock operas Pyramus and Thisbe (1745) and The Dragon of Wantley (1734), which ran for 69 nights, a record for the time, surpassing The Beggar's Opera. He was based for a time in Dublin and later in Edinburgh, where he died in 1751.
