June 4 - James Hewitt (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

James Hewitt (4 June 1770 – 2 August 1827) was an American conductor, composer and music publisher.

Half the Battle

James Hewitt depicted
A stirring event in
His keyboard sonata
“The Battle of Trenton,”

But still it’s a shame
That the wintery battle
Inspired from Hewitt
Such musical prattle.
