Samuel Lover
Samuel Lover (24 February 1797 – 6 July 1868) was an Irish songwriter, composer, novelist, and a painter of portraits, chiefly miniatures. He was the grandfather of Victor Herbert.
==Life==
Lover was born at number 60 Grafton Street, Dublin and went to school at Samuel Whyte's at 79 Grafton Street, now home to Bewley's Café. By 1830 he was secretary of the Royal Hibernian Academy and lived at number 9 D'Olier Street. In 1835 he moved to London and began composing music for a series of comic stage works.〔David Larkin: "Lover, Samuel", in: ''The Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland'', ed. by H. White & B. Boydell (Dublin: UCD Press, 2013, vol. 2, p. 600-1.〕 To some of them, like the operetta ''Il Paddy Whack in Italia'' (1841), he contributed both words and music, for others he merely contributed a few songs.
Lover produced a number of Irish songs, of which several – including ''The Angel's Whisper'', ''Molly Bawn'', and ''The Four-leaved Shamrock'' – attained great popularity. He also wrote novels, of which ''Rory O'Moore'' (in its first form a ballad), and ''Handy Andy'' are the best known, and short Irish sketches which, with his songs, he combined into a popular entertainment called ''Irish Nights'' or ''Irish Evenings''. With the latter, he toured North America during 1846-8. He joined with Charles Dickens in founding ''Bentley's Magazine''.
"When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen." — Samuel Lover
Lover's grandson was composer Victor Herbert whose mother was Lover's daughter Fanny. Irish-born and German-raised, Herbert is best known for his many successful musicals and operettas that premiered on Broadway. As a child he stayed with the Lovers in a musical environment following the death of his father.
