Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Bennett, Thomas

by John Weeks Moore

Bennett, Thomas, organist of the cathedral, and of the Episcopal chapel of St. John, Chichester, in the latter half of the last century, received his musical education in the choir of Salisbury, under Joseph Corfe. Bennett's principal works are, "An Introduction to the Art of Singing ;" "Sacred Melodies," a selection which is allowed to be made with much judgment and good taste ; also "Cathedral Selections," consisting of anthems, commandments, and chants. Each of the above productions has met with much approbation in the musical world.
