ATTWOOD, THOMAS (1765-1838), English composer, was a chorister of the Chapel Royal and a pupil of Mozart in Vienna. In 1796 he became organist of St. Paul's. One or two of his songs, such as "The Soldier's Dream," and of his glees such as "In peace love tunes the shepherd's reed" and "To all that breathe the air of Heaven," are still occasionally heard.
