The English singer and composer Virginia Gabriel (1825-1877) studied piano with Johann Peter Pixis, Theodor Dohler, Sigismond Thalberg, and Bernhard Molique. She also studied composition with the opera composer Saverio Mercadante. Gabriel composed popular ballads which were highly regarded but, given the times, she struggled to gain recognition for her more serious compositions and she had to personally publish her cantata "Dreamland". Gabriel died from injuries sustained from a fall from a carriage just a few short years after marrying the librettist George March. In addition to "Dreamland", Gabriel wrote several cantatas including "Evangeline" and "Graziella". She also wrote several operas, including "Widows Bewitched", "A Quiet Chateau", "Lost and Found", "Grass Widows", "The Shepherd of Cournouailles", among others.
