Гайдн Пол Дрейпер
(англ. Haydn Paul Draper; 21 января 1889, Пенарт ― 1 ноября 1934, Лондон) ― британский
кларнетист, племянник Чарльза Дрейпера (см. о нем http://raritetclassic.com/load/4-1-0-262).
Обучался игре на кларнете у своего отца, и ко
времени поступления в Королевский музыкальный колледж уже хорошо владел
инструментом. В колледже его преподавателями были его дядя и Джулиан Эджертон.
В дальнейшем Дрейпер был солистом-кларнетистом оркестра Куинс Холл и Военного
оркестра Би-Би-Си. Играл также в Лондонском духовом квинтете и сделал ряд
записей как солист. С 1923 Дрейпер преподавал в Королевской академии музыки,
где среди его учеников был Реджинальд Келл, ставший впоследствии знаменитым кларнетистом.
William Henry Squire (8 August 1871 – 17 March 1963) was an English composer and cellist.
Pieces he wrote include Danse Rustique, Bouree, Tarantella, and Humoresque.
Born in Ross-on-Wye, Squire was as well known
as a cellist as he was a composer. Educated at Kingsbridge Grammar School in
South Devon, he became a Foundation Scholar at the Royal College of Music in
1884 where he studied the violoncello with Edward Howell and composition with
Parry and Stanford. His London debut was in 1890 at the St James' Hall; he
played in the Covent Garden Orchestra 1894-7 and the Queen's Hall Orchestra
1897-1901, and toured widely as a soloist, notably with Clara Butt. He came to
Doncaster in 1908 and played his own arrangements of Chopin and Offenbach.
Squire taught at the RCM between 1898 and 1917
and at the Guildhall School between 1911 and 1917; He was associated with the
Performing Rights Society between 1926 and 1953. His last public concert
appearance was in 1941 in Exeter Cathedral - he died in London aged 91.
Squire wrote a Cello Concerto, two operettas,
and orchestral pieces. His instrumental miniatures are mostly for cello and
piano (although Slumber Song is for violin, Sylvania for piano solo and Calma
de Mare for mandolin). His most popular works were Danse Orientale,
Harlequinade, Consolation, Larghetto in D, Madrigal in G, L'Adieu, Bourrée,
Danse Rustique, Gavotte, Minuet, Old Swedish Air, "Palm Court"
Priere, Tzig-Tzig (a virtuosic czardas), Tarantella in D minor and
transcriptions of various folk songs.
Fauré's cello and piano arrangement of
Sicilienne opus 78 is dedicated to Squire.
