Valentine Snow
Bornc. 1700
DiedDecember 1770
Occupation(s)Trumpeter,
Primary trumpeter of England
Instrument(s)Trumpet

Valentine Snow (c. 1700 – December 1770[1][2]) was the trumpeter for George Frideric Handel.

In 1745 Snow and his wife Mary had a daughter named Sophia when he was the sergeant-trumpetertoGeorge II.[3] She was trained for a musical career and after she eloped she found fame as Sophia Baddeley.[4]

Snow succeeded John Shore as the primary trumpeter of England during the mid-to-late 18th century, which automatically made him the most respected trumpeter in the country. Many of the trumpet parts in the music of Handel were written specifically for him.[5]
