  • Sir Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley was an English composer, organist, and musicologist. He was born in London, the son of Sir Gore Ouseley, and manifested an extraordinary precocity in music, composing an opera at the age of eight years. In 1844, having succeeded to the baronetcy, he entered at Christ Church, and graduated B.A. in 1846 and M.A. in 1849. He was ordained in the latter year, and, as curate of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, served the parish of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, until 1851. In 1850 he took the degree of Mus.B. at the University of Oxford, and four years afterwards that of Mus.D. , his exercise being the oratorio St Polycarp. He was professor of music at Oxford from 1855 to 1889 In 1856 he became vicar of St Michael's College on the outskirts of Tenbury Wells. His works include a second oratorio, Hagar (Hereford, 1873), a great number of services and anthems, chamber music, songs, &c. , and theoretical works, such as Harmony (1868) and Counterpoint (1869) and Musical Form (1875). One of his most useful works is a series of chapters on English music added to the translation of Emil Naumann's History of Music, the subject having been practically ignored in the German treatise. A learned musician, and a man of great general culture, Ouseley's influence on younger men was wholly for good, and he helped forward the cause of musical progress in England. His works, which are little known today, include church services, oratorios, cantatas, and organ pieces. He also wrote a number of instructional treatises on harmony, counterpoint, fugue, and composition. Ouseley died in Hereford, where he had been precentor at Hereford Cathedral since 1855. Probably his most notable student was Sir John Stainer.
