WALLACE, WILLIAM VINCENT (1814-1865)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 279 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WALLACE, WILLIAM VINCENT (1814-1865) , British composer, was born at
Waterford
 , Ireland, his father, of Scottish family, being a regimental bandmaster. Vincent Wallace learnt as a boy to play several
instruments
 , and became a leading violinist in Dublin. But in 1835 he married and went off to Australia, sheep farming. A concert in Sydney revived his musical passion; and having separated from his wife, he began a roving career, which had many romantic episodes, in Australia, the
South
  Seas, India and
South
  America. He returned to London in 1845 and made various appearances as a pianist; and in November of that year his opera Maritana was per-formed at '
Drury
 
Lane
  with
great
  success. This was followed by Matilda of
Hungary
  (1847), Lurline (186o), The Amber Witch
(1861), Love's
Triumph
  (1862) and The Desert Flower (1863). He also published a number of compositions for the piano, &c. Vincent Wallace was a cultivated man and an accomplished musician, whose Maritana still holds he stage, and whose
work
  as an English operatic composer, at a period by no means encouraging to English music, has a distinct historical va'ue. Like Balfe, he was born an Irishman, and his reputation as one of the few composers known beyond the British Isl at that time is naturally coupled with Balfe's. But he was a finer artist and a more
original
  musician. In later years he became almost blind; and he died in poor circumstances on the 12th of October 1865, leaving a widow and two children.
