The British Musical Biography

[E] Maycock, John Henry, clarinet player,
was for 35 years in the orchestra of the Royal
Italian Opera, and of Drury Lane. During
his time many English operas were produced,
and it was for him that Balfe wrote the corno
di bassetto introduction to "The heart bowed
down," and the bass clarinet solo in "The
Daughter of St. Mark." For over fifty years
Maycock occupied a high position as a per-
former. He retired from public life in 1892,
at the age of 75.
