Thomas Augustine Geary
Thomas Augustine Geary (Timothy Geary) (1775〔Geary's year of birth is sometimes given as 1773, but a 1789 newspaper report gives his age as 14; see Beausang (2013), p. 424.〕 – November 1801) was an Irish composer, pianist and organist, with a precocious talent particularly in vocal and piano writing.
==Biography==
Geary's original first name was Timothy; it is presumed that he chose "Thomas Augustine" as artist's names in admiration for Thomas Augustine Arne. He was a choirboy and choral scholar at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, where he occasionally assisted the cathedral organist, Philip Cogan. In 1792, he performed a concerto by Dussek at a charity concert at the Rotunda, Dublin, at which one his canzonets, ''Soft is the Zephyr's Breezy Wing'', was also performed. According to W.H.G. Flood, Geary studied at Trinity College, Dublin, but there is no evidence for this claim. According to an 1818 source, "labouring under some depression of mind he rushed out of the house, and was found drowned in the canal".〔J. Warburton, J. Whitelaw, R. Walsh: ''History of the City of Dublin'' (London, 1818), vol. 2.〕 In Brian Boydell's opinion, "his premature death undoubtedly robbed Irish music of a sensitive and promising talent".〔Brian Boydell: "Geary, Thomas Augustine ()", in: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'' (London: Macmillan, 2001).〕
