| GEORGE
BUTTERWORTH (1885-1916)
Born in London. Educated at Eton
and Oxford, he completed his musical training at the Royal College of Music under
Walter Parratt, Cecil Sharpe and Charles Wood. Along with Sharpe and Vaughan Williams
he was an enthusiastic participant in the folk song revival movement and his surviving
orchestral works as well as his songs all reflect this. Before leaving for the
front he destroyed the manuscripts of a number of his aleady completed works.
Despite his life being cut short by his death in World War I he has managed to
secure a place in the pantheon of English composers. The

ERNEST
FARRAR (1885-1918) Born
in Blackheath, London. He studied at the Royal College of Music under Stanford
and Walter Parratt. In addition to composing, he held posts as an organist in
Germany and England, conducted and taught. His most notable pupil was Gerald Finzi.
Farrar’s very promising career was cut short by his death in the last days of
World War I. He produced a substantial body of choral, orchestral, chamber, vocal
and instrumental works. His symphonic poem, "The Forsaken Merman," is
his most extended orchestral piece. English

HARRISON (1885-1963) Born
in Stourport, Worcestershire. He studied with Granville Bantock at the Birmingham
and Midland Institute of Music. He worked as a piano accompanist and conductor
and taught at the Royal College of Music and at several other schools. Deafness
caused his retirement and enabled him to devote his last productive years exclusively
to composition. He composed a substantial amount of music of all types but destroyed
much of his early output. His surviving orchestral output is basically of small-scale
pieces though he did compose a Cello Concerto. Bredon

(2004) ERIC
COATES (1886-1957) Born
in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. He was taught at the Royal Academy of Music by Frederick
Corder, Lionel Tertis and Hartley Braithwaite. He was an accomplished violist
and conductor and became very famous as one of England’s most popular composers
of light orchestral music and songs. His suites, waltzes, fairy tale ballets and
marches have maintained their places in the recorded repertoire to this day. The
London Suite is probably his most characteristic and often-played work.

COLES (1888-1918)
Born in Kirkcudbright, Scotland.
He began his musical education at the University of Edinburgh,went on to the Royal
College of Music and had further training at the Stuttgart Conservatory. He taught
at Morley College and also played in its orchestra. Like his contemporaries Butterworth,
Farrar and F.S. Kelly his life was snuffed out by the 1st World War
and the works that he managed to complete show the sad loss of another promising
composer. Some other orchestral works are a Concert Overture in E minor, In the
Cathedral and Sorrowful Dance. Behind
