    Randall, William (ii)


    (b London, c1728; d London, ?Jan 1776). English music seller and publisher,
    brother of John Randall. He was a son or more probably a grandson of Peter
    Randall, a London music publisher associated with john Walsh (i), and was
    presumably the Randall found among the Children of the Chapel Royal from
    1736 to 1745. At the death of his cousin john Walsh (ii) in 1766, he and John
    Abell inherited the extensive Walsh business, where they had doubtless been
    employed. They published for the first time the complete full scores of a
    number of Handel oratorios, starting with Messiah (1767). After Abell's death
    on 29 July 1768, Randall remained in business alone. Besides reprinting
    Walsh publications, sometimes with the original imprint in addition to his own,
    he published many interesting works, including a reissue in 1771 of Morley's A
    Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke. Collections of country
    dances and pleasure-garden songs also came from his press. At his death, his
    widow Elizabeth carried on the business until 1783, when it was taken over by
    Wright & Wilkinson.
