Timeline
Richard Stoker (8 November 1938 – 24 March 2021 ) was a British composer, writer, actor and artist.
There was a strong musical tradition in Stoker's family, and he showed an early aptitude, intrigued by the piano keyboard as soon as he was tall enough to reach it.
He started playing the piano at the age of six, started to compose at the age of seven, and went to an uncle for piano lessons.
At 15 he went to Huddersfield Technical College, studying with Harold Truscott and Winifred Smith.
An early success as a composer was with the orchestral overture Antic Hay (1961) which won the first Royal Amateur Orchestral Society Award.
The Petite Suite of the same year won the first Eric Coates Memorial Prize.
Other orchestral works include four numbered symphonies (spanning 1961-1991), a Little Symphony and a piano concerto (op.54, 1978).
He won several prizes at the RAM, culminating in the Mendelssohn Scholarship in 1962, which took him to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger.
Stoker also composed song cycles, choral works (such as the dramatic cantata Ecce homo, 1962) and music for the organ (Organ Symphony, op. 58, 1980).
Stoker declared the piano to be his favourite instrument, with the guitar a close second: he produced a number of pieces for both instruments.
His style was modern but accessible, full of his optimistic, joie de vivre personality.
Stoker's first marriage was to Jacqueline (née Trelfer) in 1962.
Returning to London in 1963 he was invited to teach at the RAM, and was a Professor of Composition there for over 20 years.
He later became Hon Treasurer and a Founder member of the Royal Academy of Music Guild.
He was a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (FRAM), and also an Associate of the Royal College of Music (ARCM).
There are two operas: Johnson Preserv'd (1967) and Thérèse Raquin (1975).
His chamber and instrumental music includes three each of string quartets, piano trios and violin sonatas.
Sometimes referred to as a Renaissance Man, he was also a writer: two novels, short stories and poetry (Words without Music, 1970, and Portrait of a Town, 1974), three plays (unpublished) and an autobiography, Open Window – Open Door, 1985.
As an artist he exhibited some of his drawings and paintings.
In later years he enjoyed acting in films and TV - he appeared in over 100 productions, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Dark Shadows, Maleficent, Hercules (as body double for John Hurt), Last Christmas and MotherFatherSon.
They were divorced in 1985.
He married his second wife, Gill (née Watson), in 1986.
He was a member of the Garrick Club for several years.
