Henry Bishop
[ Life | Works | Operas | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| The reputation of Sir Henry Bishop has diminished with time, although in his own lifetime he occupied a commanding position in England as a conductor and composer of opera.
|
| Bishop's song "Home, Sweet Home" remains generally known, even if its composer's name may occasionally be forgotten, with the song "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark", for "soprano di colore" and flute accompaniment, the latter written for Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors.
