This page is about the musician who lived 1744-1820. For his grandfather (1685-1752), see Henri-Guillaume Hamal.

Henri Hamal (20 July 1744, Liège, in modern Belgium – 17 September 1820, Liège) was a Walloon (i.e. a French-speaking native of the Low Countries) composer, music director and writer.[1][2][3]: 12–20 

When Hamal was born, Liège was the seat of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire, within (but not part of) the Austrian Netherlands. The Prince-Bishop was a man of consequence: he was a member of the Imperial Diet. In 1789, the Liège Revolution broke out, the Prince-Bishop was deposed, and the Republic of Liège established. The Kingdom of Prussia (a constituent state of the Empire) intervened in an attempt to mediate, and garrisoned troops in Liège and other important towns. In 1791, Austrian Imperial forces invaded, overthrew the Republic, and reinstated the Prince-Bishop. In 1794, the French Republic attacked the Low Countries (in the Flanders campaign), drove out the Imperials, and the Prince-Bishop was expelled for a second and final time. The Low Countries were annexed into the French Republic; and later, after Napoleon had proclaimed himself Emperor, into the French Empire. In 1814, Prussian, Russian and Dutch troops (part of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon) drove the French out. In 1815, after Napoleon's final downfall, the former Prince-Bishopric was awarded to the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, a new state.

Hamal was the son of Dieudonné-Lambert Hamal, the youngest child of Henri-Guillaume Hamal (1685-1752). Henri-Guillause and his eldest child, Jean-Noël (1709-1778), were also musicians in Liège. He received his early musical training from his uncle Jean-Noël, who was maitre de chapelle at Saint Lambert's Cathedral, Liège. From 1763 to 1769, he studied in Rome, with help from the Stichting Lambert Darchis [nl], a charitable fund of Liège whose purpose it is to finance students of theology and the arts in that Italian city. In 1770, he took over his uncle's duties; although the latter held onto their titles until his death in 1778. He was an original member of the Société Libre d'Émulation [fr] of Liège, founded by the Prince-Bishop in 1779. (A Société d'émulation was a local learned society for the cultural elite.) In 1794-95, the cathedral was torn down with anticlerical revolutionary zeal, and Hamal lost his job. He was appointed secretary of the Public Education Council of the Ourthe département, a new administrative division of the French Republic, whose seat was in Liège. In 1801,[citation needed] he was appointed maitre de chapelle of St. Paul's Cathedral, Liège, the new cathedral of the diocese. Barthélemy disagrees.

He wrote much church music (eighteen masses (including two requiems),[citation needed] hymns, litanies, vespers, motets and psalms), but also secular works such as cantatas and songs in the Walloon language. He wrote an [three act] opera, Le Triomphe du sentiment, to a libretto by one Joseph Bertrand, which was premiered [on 28 January] 1775 at the Grand-Théâtre, Liège.[4]

Particularly influenced by the Neapolitan School operas of Paisiello, Cimarosa and Traetta, he himself composed some comic operas which he proposed to the opera houses in Belgium and Paris, without particular success.

Like his grandfather and his uncle, he organized concerts in the hall of the Emulation building in Liège. Also at Redoute & Comédie (Quitin 1997).

  • 1777 Le Fat ou les preuves d'amour - text: Raynier

As of 2021, only one of his compositions seems to have been recorded: a Concerto for Trumpet and String Orchestra in D Major.[5]

He was a collector of works of art and manuscripts. In particular, he made a collection of some 800 sketches and drawings by Liégois artist Lambert Lombard (c. 1505 – 1566), and it has survived.[6]

He gathers, archives and annotates hundreds of pieces produced by his contemporaries: Joseph Dreppe [fr], Carlo Maratta, Guido Reni, Laurent Pécheux ... Mémoire pour serve à l'histoire des artistes of the province de Liège

In his later years, he wrote two memoirs which remained in manuscript until rediscovered in the 20th Century.

He wrote a memoir, Annales des progrès du théâtre, de l'art musical et de la composition dans l'ancienne principauté de Liège depuis l'année 1738 jusq'en 1806: essay historique sur les concerts et le théâtre de Liège, which survived only in a manuscript copy until it was edited for publication in 1989 by Maurice Barthélemy.[3]

Barthélemy thought he liked a quiet life.

Returning to Liège in 1772, he was commissioned by Prince-Bishop François-Charles de Velbrück to help his uncle Jean-Noël in the post of choirmaster at the cathedral, succeeding him in 1778.

As co-founder of the Société d'Emulation he fell out of favor with Prince-Bishop César-Constantin-François de Hoensbroeck and was unable to work in the cathedral at the requiem in 1792. He was replaced on this occasion by Simon Leclercq.

</nowiki>, if there could be any doubt; mainly for the benefit of other DABfixers.

Is Windows on ARM enough of a topic to justify a {{bca}}? It wouldn't need to be very big, and a paragraph or two could be much more helpful to readers than a DAB page pointing to two massive articles about OSs. As you'll have gathered, the term means nothing to me.
