在 Zen Virtual Piano 探索 Samuel Lover 的鋼琴琴譜。 Samuel Lover (1797–1868), song-writer, novelist and painter, was born in Dublin on 24 February 1797, the eldest son of a Dublin stockbroker, and was educated privately in his native city. After frequent quarrels with his father led to a complete rupture, at the age of seventeen Lover determined to earn his livelihood as a painter, and he enjoyed considerable success as a miniature painter before committing himself to a literary career. A young man who set out to make his living as a painter can be read as an artist who tried several arts before settling on writing. For the Moore banquet in 1818 he produced a lively eulogy of Moore, which earned him the poet’s friendship and an entrée into the liveliest social circles in Dublin. A eulogy that won a poet’s friendship can be read as a talent first noticed in company. His first volume, Legends and Stories of Ireland, illustrated by himself, appeared in 1831 and was an immediate success. He moved to London in 1835 and started writing music for comic stage works; for some, such as the operetta Il Paddy Whack in Italia (1841), he supplied both libretto and music, and for others only a few songs. Writing the whole of some stage works and only a few songs for others suggests a musician at ease in large and small roles. In London he became as acceptable in literary and art circles as he had been in Dublin and was a habitué of Lady Blessington’s receptions. Lover produced many Irish songs, of which several, such as “The Angel’s Whisper,” “Molly Bawn” and “The Four-leaved Shamrock,” gained popularity. He also wrote novels, of which Rory O’Moore, in its first form a ballad, and Handy Andy are best known, and short Irish sketches, which he combined with his songs into a popular entertainment called Irish Nights. A ballad that grew into a novel and sketches that became a stage show can be read as stories moving freely between forms. A memorial in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, marks his achievements as “poet, painter, novelist and composer.” Lover’s daughter Fanny was the mother of Victor Herbert, a composer remembered for many musicals and operettas premiered on Broadway. A daughter whose son became a Broadway composer suggests an artistic line running through his family.
