This article appears in Volume V13, Page 476 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HIMMEL, FREDERICK HENRY (1765-1814) , German composer, was born on the loth of November 1765 at Treuenbrietzen in Brandenburg,.
Prussia
 , and originally studied theology at
Halle
 . During a temporary stay at Potsdam he had an opportunity of showing his self-acquired skill as a pianist before King Frederick William II., who thereupon made him a yearly allowance to enable him to complete his musical studies. This he did under Naumann, a German composer of the Italian school, and the style of that school
Himmel
  himself adopted in his serious operas. The first of these, a
pastoral
  opera, Il Primo Naviigatore, was produced at Venice in 1794 with
great
  success. In 1792 he went to Berlin, where his oratorio Isaaco was produced, in consequence of which he was made
court
  Kapellmeister to the king of
Prussia
 , and in that capacity wrote a
great
  deal of official music, including cantatas, and a
coronation
  Te Deum. His Italian operas, successively composed for Stockholm, St Peters-burg and Berlin, were all received with great favour in their day. Of much greater importance than these is an operetta to German words by Kotzebue, called Fanchox, an admirable specimen of the primitive form of the musical drama known in Germany as the Sings pie!.
Himmel
 's
gift
  of writing genuine simple melody is also observable in his songs, amongst which one called " To Alexis " is the best. He died in Berlin on the 8th of June 1814.
