Richard Jones
(c.1680 - London, 20 January 1744)
English composer and violinist. His first publication appeared in 1720, a solo cantata 'While in a Lovely Rurall Seat'. He was associated with the Drury Lane Theater Orchestra in London. His association with Drury Lane may have begun as early as 1723, when a masque, 'Apollo and Daphne', by ‘Jones’ was performed there; it was adapted in 1725 as a pantomime with songs by Henry Carey. According to John Hawkins, in 1730 he succeeded Stefano Carbonelli as the orchestra's leader there. He also was a teacher; among his violin pupils was Michael Christian Festing. He died in 1744, of which his position in Drury Lane was succeeded by Richard Clarke. As a composer, almost nothing is extant and only the cantata 'While in a lovely rural seat' and his instrumental music has survived to our days. Among them, a large collection of 'Suits or Setts of Lessons for keyboard' (1732).
