Target had been a chorister at Chichester Cathedral under William Walond Jr. for five years. At the age of 22, he became Organist and Master of the Choristers of the cathedral. The cathedral Chapter records show that Thomas Barber (Master of the Choristers, 1794–1801) was "removed" so that Target could assume both posts.[2]
Target also wrote three anthems that were published locally. He died on 15 May 1803 at the age of 24.
