Nopitsch, Christoph Friedrich Wilhelm


(b Kirchensittenbach, nr Nuremberg, 4 Feb 1758; d Nördlingen, 22 May 1824). German composer and organist. As a youth he studied the organ, harpsichord and composition with several well-known musicians, including Johann Siebenkäs and G.W. Gruber (both in Nuremberg), Joseph Riepel (Regensburg), Eberhard Beck (Passau), and Georg Benda and Anton Schweitzer (both in Gotha). Although he was the youngest of the 18 applicants for the post of organist and music director in Nördlingen in 1781, he was awarded the position and remained there for the rest of his life. From 1800 he was also Kantor of the Nördlingen Gymnasium.

Nopitsch was praised by his contemporaries as an excellent organist and a gifted composer (Schubart; GerberL). He composed in many different genres, but few of his works were published. His lied collection (published in 1783) features works by Bürger and other well-known poets, but also includes two poems by Nopitsch himself; his lieder are short, strophic and often quite lyrical. A singing method, published in 1784, reflects his work as a teacher.

Norblin (de la Gourdaine), Louis (Pierre Martin)


(b Warsaw, 2 Dec 1781; d Connantre, 14 July 1854). French cellist. He was the son of the French painter and engraver Norblin de la Gourdaine, who emigrated to Warsaw and married a Pole. Norblin went to Paris to enter the Conservatoire in 1798 and was awarded a premier prix when he graduated in 1803. He joined the orchestra of the Théâtre Italien in 1809; from 1811 to 1841 he was principal cellist of the Opéra. He succeeded Levasseur at the Conservatoire on 1 January 1824 and retired in 1846, being in turn succeeded by Franchomme.

Norblin had an equally high reputation as a quartet player and as a soloist. He was a member of the Baillot Quartet, and with Habeneck founded the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1828. He taught many distinguished players including Chevillard and Franchomme, as well as one whose lesser ability as a player took him no further than the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique – Jacques Offenbach.

Norblin’s son, Emile (b Paris, 2 April 1821; d Paris, 1880), studied with his father; he was a successful player, but chose teaching as his principal career.

Norcombe (Nercom, Nercome, Nercum, Norcome, Nurcombe, Nurcome), Daniel


(b ?1576; d Brussels, 1655). English composer and instrumentalist. No evidence has been found of Norcombe's birth in 1576 (see DNB), nor of John and Daniel Norcombe identified by Fellowes as lay clerks at St George's Chapel, Windsor. A ‘Nurcombe’ (no Christian name) was appointed minor canon at St George's before 1595; he was dead by 3 March 1624. Daniel Norcombe was appointed lutenist to Christian IV of Denmark in 1599 with an annual salary of 350 daler, but in 1601 he fled from Copenhagen with an English colleague, John Maynard. Travelling through Germany and Hungary pursued by emissaries of the Danish king, they reached Venice. From 1602 until his death in 1655, Norcombe served the Archduke Albert in Brussels as a viol player. He composed numerous sets of divisions on various grounds, which circulated in England. Most are formed of two strains (the first ending away from the tonic) with a single division after each strain. Cormacks Almane and Sir Thomas Brooks Pavin (the latter anonymous but probably by Norcombe) are dances rather than grounds, but show the same pattern of divisions following each strain. The fine madrigal With angels face in The Triumphes of Oriana (RISM 160116) may be by the elder (Daniel) Norcombe.
