Draghi was in great request as a performer and teacher of the harpsichord; amongst his pupils were the Princess Anne and probably her sister Mary. He was a good composer, and had by diligent study made himself well acquainted with the compositions of the best English masters whose manner of composing he adopted. He set to music an Ode written by Dryden for St. Cecilia's day, 1687, and in contemporary copies of the words we find his name anglicised to John Baptist Draghi.] [Footnote 30: This we learn from several advertisements of later date, where it is stated, "At John Carr's shop may be had the musical entertainment for last St. Cecilia's Day. The words made by Mr. Christopher Fishburn, and set to music in two, three, four, and six parts by Mr. Henry Purcell, Composer in Ordinary to His Sacred Majesty, and one of the Organists of His Majesty's Chappel Royal."] [Footnote 31: Smith was organist of St. Margaret, Westminster.] [Footnote 32: So spelt in the registers of Westminster Abbey, but "Banester" on his monument.] [Footnote 33: See No. 15 of _The Ancient Vocal Music of England_, by E.
