Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAWES, WILLIAM (17851846) ,
English
  musician, was
born
  in London in 1785, and was for eight years (17931801) a chorister of the Chapel Royal, where he studied music chiefly under Dr
Ayrton
 . He subsequently held various musical posts, being in 1817 appointed master of the children of the Chapel Royal. He also carried on the business of a music publisher, and was for many years musical director of the Lyceum theatre, then devoted to
English
 
opera
 . In the last-named capacity (July 23rd, 1824), he introduced Weber's Der Freischiitz for the first time in
England
 , at first slightly curtailed, but soon afterwards in its entirety. Winter's Interrupted Sacrifice, Mozart's Cosi fan tulle, Marschner's Vampyre and other important works were also brought out under his auspices.
Hawes
  also wrote or compiled the music for numerous pieces. Better were his glees and madrigals, of which he published several collections. He also superintended a new edition of the celebrated
Triumph
  of Oriana. He died on the 18th of
February
  1846.
