Biography
The first Earl of Mornington was a remarkable child musician who grew into a man of genuine musical learning and became Professor of Music at Trinity College, Dublin. His lasting fame as a composer comes from his glees. Like his more famous son, the Duke of Wellington, he was a man of cool courage, for he is reputed to have been the first member of the British aristocracy who dared to walk through the London streets openly and unashamedly carrying a violin case.
