HAVERGAL
BRIAN (1876-1972) Born
in Dresden, Staffordshire. Except for some instrumental lessons by local teachers,
Britain's most prolific symphonist was basically self-taught. He composed incessantly
throughout his long life but only saw his music discovered when he was in his
eighties. Prior to his 32 numbered Symphonies he wrote a "Fantastic Symphony"
in 1907 that was later broken up to become "Fantastic Variations on an Old Rhyme"
and "Festal Dance." For orchestra his other works include a Violin Concerto, Cello
Concerto, 5 English Suites and 3 Comedy Overtures. See

He founded the "Thomas Dunhill Chamber Concerts" in 1907 to promote the music
of his contemporaries. His compositional output was not vast but included light
operas, ballets, orchestral works, chamber music and songs. In addition to a Symphony
in A minor his other works for orchestra are Elegiac Variations on an Original
Theme, Rhapsody in A minor, a suite for small orchestra "The Pixies", Concertstück,
Manx Fantasia for Violin and Orchestra and Capricious Variations on an Old English

HENRY
BALFOUR GARDINER (1877-1950)
Born in London. He was first educated
at the Charterhouse School and Oxford but then went on to study in Frankfurt with
Iwan Knorr. As part of the "Frankfurtt Group with his fellow young composers
Grainger, Quilter, O’Neill and Scott he used his connections to promote his friends’
music while doing little to push his own compositions leaving most of his works
unpublished . He had a very brief academic career at Winchester College and made
a much greater impact as a conductor of the works of his composing contemporaries.
He composed steadily though not prolifically and gave up composition entirely
at a relatively early age. His output consisted of 2 Symphonies (that are probably
not extant) as well as other orchestral, choral, chamber, instrumental and vocal
works. Overture

QUILTER (1877-1953) Born
in Brighton. After schooling at Eton he went to Frankfurt where he was taught
by Iwan Knorr at the Hoch Conservatory along with Balfour Gardiner, Grainger,
O’Neill and Scott. Coming from a wealthy background he was to devote himself full-time
to composing. Most of his catalogue consists of songs on which his fame rests
but he also composed ballets, light operas, incidental music, piano music and
several short orchestral works. As

basically revolved around the composition and performances of his operas. His
attempt to establish an English operatic cycle similar to Wagner was unsuccessful.

poems. See

pianist and conductor and he supplemented his income as a music critic. He eventually
had success as a conductor and pianist but his compositions never really made
a breakthrough. His catalogue was vast and included operas, symphonies, large-scale
symphonic poems based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe and much else in all genres.
He wrote 2 Piano Concertos, Violin Concerto,, Cello Concerto, Saxophone Concerto
and 2 later Concertos for various combinations of instruments.

BRIDGE (1879-1941) Born
in Brighton. He studied with Charles Stanford at the Royal College of Music. Bridge
was probably the most qualified British composer who never wrote a symphony. When
he finally started one it was too late. Bridge had a successful career as a conductor
and teacher and composed much music of the highest quality. His major works for
orchestra include the suite "The Sea," Dance Rhapsody, Dance Poem, the
tone poems "Isabella" and "Summer" and the rhapsody "Enter
Spring." See

CYRIL SCOTT (1879-1970)
Born in Oxton, Cheshire. Went to
Frankfurt am Main at the age of 12 to study with Engelbert Humperdinck and Lazarro
Uzielli and returned there for further study with Iwan Knorr. He composed prolifically
in all genres during his long life and had great success at an early stage. This
did not last and his music is only starting to be revived at the present time
after many decades of obscurity. He wrote a Symphony No. 2 in A minor in 1901-2
that was later broken up into other works, a Sinfonietta for Strings, Organ and
Harp and a Sinfonietta for Strings. There are also 2 Piano Concertos, a Violin
Concerto, Cello Concerto and many other works for orchestra. See

MARCO POLO 8.223485 (1994) JOHN
FOULDS (1880-1939) Born
in Manchester. He learned the piano and cello at a very young age and used these
skills to earn a living in theater orchestras before joining the Hallé
Orchestra at the age of 20. He held various musical director posts in London before
going to India in 1935 where he immersed himself in the study of Indian folk music
while still engaged as a conductor. His music has recently emerged from obscurity
and he is found to have been a serious composer far ahead of his own time and
not just a creator of light music. Much of his extensive catalogue has been lost
but his 1st Cello Concerto (1911), a number of still unrecorded orchestral works
and a World Requiem are still extant. See

S. KELLY (1881-1916) Elegy
for Strings "In Memoriam Rupert Brooke" (1915)
Born in Sydney. He went to England
for his education at Eton and Oxford and had additional training in Frankfurt
with Iwan Knorr. As an accomplished pianist he was active as a chamber musician
and also served as an adviser to the London-based Classical Concert Society. His
early death in action cut short a very promising career. In addition to
the Elegy he composed a Serenade for Flute and Orchestra and a number of chamber,
instrumental and vocal works. David

ALDRIDGE GRAINGER (1882-1961) Born
in Melbourne. His first musical instructions came from his mother and Louis Pabst
( a pupil of Anton Rubinstein) before going to the Frankfurt Hoch Conservatory
for studies with James Kwast and Iwan Knorr, as well as private lessons with Busoni
in Berlin. Grainger excelled as a concert pianist and toured extensively. Though
his time in England was brief he was as an important paticipant in the folk song
revival movement and noted down the song "Brigg Fair" and introduced
it to Delius. Moving on to America before World War I his career also included
teaching and conducting. He composed voluminously and produced more than 600 works
very few of which were more than several minutes long. Unjustly remembered by
most as the quaint composer of such works as "Country Gardens," Grainger
was a sui generis creative mind whose experiments with harmony and orchestration
have mostly gone unrecognized. Fortunately, he has never lacked for recordings.

HAYDN WOOD
(1882-1959) Born
in Slaithwaite, Yorkshire. He was taught the violin by his brother and went to
the Royal College of Music where Stanford was one of his teachers. He was enormously
successful as a composer of light orchestral music and popular songs. He spent
some years on the Isle of Man and wrote several works that reflect the folk music
of the place. His major serious orchestral works are a Piano Concerto, Violin
Concerto, Philharmonic Variations for Cello and Orchestra and a Symphony in D
minor. The latter work is presumably lost. See

ARNOLD BAX (1883-1953) Born
in London. He studied at the Royal Academy of Music with Frederick Corder and
Tobias Matthay. Coming from a wealthy background, Bax needed no musical employment
to be able to pursue his creativity in both music and literature. He wrote 7 numbered
Symphonies as well as an early unnumbered Symphony entitled "Spring Fire"
and also composed a large amount of other works for orchestra including Concertos
for Violin and Cello and a series of tone poems from which "Tintagel," "The Garden
of Fand" and "November Woods" are the most popular. He wrote a Symphony in F minor
in 1907 but left it unorchestrated. He was appointed Master of the King's Musick
in 1942. See
