William Henry Squire (8 August 1871 – 17 March 1963) was a 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.
Faure's cello and piano arrangement of Sicilienne opus 78 is dedicated to Squire.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small handling fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost as a guideline.
As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.
