Neill, Ben(b Winston-Salem, NC, 14 Nov 1957). American composer and trumpet player. He studied at Youngstown State University (BM 1980, MM 1982), the Manhattan School of Music (DMA 1986) and with La Monte Young, whose meditatively long-toned brass music was a primary influence. He also played the guitar with Rhys Chatham, later following him as music curator of The Kitchen, New York (1992–8). Neill's performing and composing careers have centred on the Mutantrumpet, a three-belled instrument of his own invention with pressure-sensing pads that connect it to MIDI controller. Using this instrument, Neill has triggered sound-transforming computer sequences during performance, a technique that shares characteristics with the music of David Behrman, with whom he has worked closely. Neill's computer installations have developed from both pitch and rhythmic manifestations of the overtone series. 678 Streams, for example, unleashes computerized beats in patterns of six against seven against eight. Works such as Green Machine exist not only as performances, but also as ambient installations. The theatre pieces ITSOFOMO (In the Shadow of Forward Motion) and Downwind exhibit liberal political views. Heavily beat-oriented, his music has gained a considerable following of ambient rock fans; the rhythmic complexity of his works has also made him a seminal figure in the 1990's Totalist movement in Manhattan.

KYLE GANN Neischl.See Neuschel family. Neithardt, Heinrich August(b Schleiz, 10 Aug 1793; d Berlin, 18 April 1861). German conductor and composer. His early musical studies were interrupted by military service, which lasted through the campaigns of 1813–15. This led to his joining the newly formed Garde-Schützen-Battaillon (1816–22), and from 1822 to 1840 he was master of the band of the Kaiser Franz Grenadiers and did much to improve military music. In 1839 he was made royal music director and in 1843 he was appointed assistant director of music at Berlin Cathedral, where he founded a regular choir of about 80 singers by uniting the scholars and seminarists who sang the ordinary cathedral service with the smaller court chapel choir. In 1845 he was promoted to director of music at the cathedral. In order to study Russian and Italian choral singing he took the choir to St Petersburg in 1846 and Rome in 1857; in 1850 they visited London, where their refined performances made a strong impression, and from 1852 to 1856 he led them on tours of several German cities. Neithardt was an able conductor and trainer. In over 20 years as a military musician he developed his bands to a high standard and produced skilled performances of popular functional music. The high reputation of the Berlin choir rested on his work and he was indefatigable in training the choir and providing it with music of all types, some of which was edited by him in a continuation of Commer’s Musica sacra. In addition to his military and sacred music compositions, he also wrote horn trios and quartets, piano works, organ music and an opera, Manfred und Julietta (Die schöne Dalmatinerin), produced in Königsberg in 1834. He is best remembered as the composer of the Prussian anthem Ich bin ein Preusse, kennt ihr meine Farben? (1826). BIBLIOGRAPHYMGG1 (T.M. Langner) P. Opitz: Kurze Geschichte des kgl.
