Actually Sir Henry Rowley Bishop - the first musician ever to receive a knighthood [from Queen Victoria]. The first singer ever to be knighted [also by Victoria] was Sir Charles Santley.
This is a misnomer as applied to this tune. 'Arie antiche' are commonly known as 'old Italian Art Songs' dating from c. 1600-1725- with words in Italian, of course. Caccini,Pergolesi,Stradella,Scarlatti, Marcello, Monteverdi are noted composers of these 'arie'(arias-songs).
