William Tuckey
William Tuckey (Somersetshire, England, 1708 – September 14, 1781〔(Early Concert-life in America (1731-1800) By Oscar George Theodore Sonneck, Published 1907 by Breitkopf & Härtel )〕) was an American composer, who exerted important influence on the musical life of the Colonial United States. He was one of the first American composers to gain notability,〔(American Composer Timeline )〕 and was also a choir master and organist. Tuckey debuted Handel's ''Messiah'' in the Americas for the first time in 1770.〔(''From A History of American Classical Music'' By Barrymore Laurence Scherer Published: March 5, 2008 by NewMusicBox )〕
== Life ==
Before moving to New York, Tuckey was a Frenchman who had been Lay Clerk of the Bristol Cathedral, and clerk of the Parish. He emigrated to New York City in 1753.〔(''American Music a Century Ago'' by Richard Aldrich, September 21, 1907 New York Times )〕 Upon arrival to New York, he was appointed a clerk of Trinity Church. He then convinced the vestry of Trinity that music should be taught to the students of the Charity School, which had been established in 1739 by the church. In this way, he acquired a choir to sing for him in services. He also continued composing. Despite his efforts to establish regular choral singing in America, the time was not ripe for his labors.〔''Our American Music, A Comprehensive History from 1620 to the Present, Fourth Edition, 1965''〕
