Ann Valentine (11 January 1762 – 13 October 1842[1] or 13 October 1845[2][3]) was an English organist and composer, part of a talented family of Leicester musicians.

Life

Ann Valentine was born on 11 January 1762 in Leicester and christened on 15 March.[4] Her father John Valentine (1730–91) was a great-nephew of the composer Robert Valentine.[2] John Valentine was a composer, music teacher, and musician.[3] He played viola in the memorial concerts (the Handel Commemoration) held for George Frederic Handel in London in 1784; his son, Ann's brother Thomas Valentine (1759 – c. 1800) was a second violinist in the same concerts, and performed in London for at least the next decade.[5] Another uncle, Henry Valentine, was an oboist and ran a music shop in Leicester. Ann's younger sister Sarah (1771–1843) was an organist at St Martin's Church in Leicester from 1800,[3] and composed at least one work, The British March and Quickstep for the Pianoforte.[2] Ann made her concert debut on the harpsichord in a family concert in 1777, at the age of fifteen.[3] From c. 1785 to at least 1834 she was the organist at St Margaret's Church, Leicester. In 1790 she published a set of ten sonatas for harpsichord or piano with violin or flute accompaniment. She continued to publish music, although only some of it has survived; the ten sonatas and an arrangement of the strathspey Monny Musk are available in a modern edition.[6]
