GOSS, SIR JOHN (18001880) , English composer, was born at Fareham, Hampshire , on the 27th of December 1800. He was elected a chorister of the Chapel Royal in 1811, and in 1816, on the breaking of his voice, became a pupil of Attwood . A few early compositions, some for the theatre, exist, and some glees were published before 1825.
