Henry Eccles (composer)

Henry Eccles (composer)

Henry Eccles (1670 - 1742) was an English composer.

He was the son of Solomon Eccles and the brother of John Eccles.

He played in the court of King Louis XIV. However, conceiving himself neglected in England, he went to Paris, where he was admitted a member of the French King's band. In 1720 he published there, in two books, "Twelve Solos for the Violin". The first book of these sonatas contains adaptations from Giuseppe Valentini's "Alletamenti" (op. 8), which Eccles lay under his contribution for his slow movements, supplying only the perfunctory quick ones himself. His sonata for viola is printed by G. Schirmer.
