GERALD FINZI
(1901-1956)

Born in London. As a teenager he studied privately with Ernest Farrar and Edward Bairstow and then in his next decade took counterpoint with R.O. Morris. He joined the staff of the Royal Academy of Music but kept this post only for 3 years before relocating to Berkshire where he devoted most of the rest of his life to composing. He was the founder and conductor of the Newbury String Players. His catalogue is made up of choral, vocal and orchestral works, including a Cello and Clarinet Concerto that have become very popular in recent years. He is considered one of England’s greatest composers of art songs. Other large-scale orchestra works such as a Symphony and Piano Concerto were started but never completed.

SIR WILLIAM WALTON
(1902-1983)

Born in Oldham, Lancashire. Studied at Oxford but was basically self-taught in composition. Had the patronage of the highly influential Sitwell family and achieved early fame with his settings of Edith Sitwell’s "Façade." His early unconventionality of style later turned conservative and he developed into one of the leading composers in the accepted British tradition. He wrote marches for the coronations of George VI and Elizabeth II that were worthy successors to the marches of Elgar and brilliant scores for the Shakespearean films of Sir Laurence Olivier. His major orchestral works are his 2 Symphonies, Sinfonia Concertante for Piano and Orchestra and Concertos for Violin, Viola and Cello.

See BSCD for: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2.

Born in Oxford. He studied at the Royal College of Music with Holst, Vaughan Williams and R.O. Morris, He had some early success with performances of a number of his works but this did not last and he had to earn his living as a schoolteacher and as an inspector of pianola rolls. He was influenced and aided financially by Balfour Gardiner but, ultimately, his once-promising career faltered despite some occasional performances and encouragement from his good friends Finzi and Vaughan Williams. He composed prolifically in various genres including an opera, several ballets, a Symphony, a Violin Concerto as well as chamber, instrumental, choral and vocal music.

FRANCIS CHAGRIN
(1905-1972)

Born in Bucharest, Romania his original name was Alexander Pauker. His varied musical education included composition studies with Mihail Jora in Bucharest as well as with Paul Dukas and Nadia Boulanger at L’École Normale in Paris. While in Paris he supported himself by writing popular songs and employment as a nightclub pianist and began his career as a composer of film music. He moved to England in 1936 anticipating the rising tide of fascism. The rest of his composing career was divided among compositions for the movies (over 200 scores), radio, the theater and the concert hall. He wrote 2 Symphonies and left a 3^rd unfinished as well as a Piano Concerto.

CONSTANT LAMBERT
(1905-1951)

Born in London into an artistic family. He studied at the Royal College of Music where his teachers included Malcolm Sargent, George Dyson, R.O. Morris and Vaughan Williams. While still a student at this school he was commissioned to write a ballet for Diaghilev. He became very well known as a conductor, musicologist and as a very influential and oft-quoted author. His compositional catalogue was not particularly extensive. In addition to the ballets, his major works include 2 Piano Concertos, some short orchestral pieces, film scores and the choral "Summer’s Last Will and Testament."

WALTER LEIGH
(1905-1942)

Born in Wimbledon. He studied under E.J. Dent at Cambridge and went for further lessons in Berlin with Paul Hindemith. After turning down a teaching position, he earned a living in the 1930’s by writing for the theater and films, accepting commissions for pantomimes, revues, comic operas and incidental music. He was killed in action during World War II and left only a small body of work both for the theater and concert hall. His other orchestral works have been recorded and there are also a few chamber works, solo piano pieces and songs.

ERIC FENBY
(1906-1997)

Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire. He studied the piano, organ and cello in his early years but was basically self-taught in composition. His fame rests on his experience as the musical amanuensis to Frederick Delius in which capacity he was singularly responsible for helping the older composer complete some of his major works. He later pursued careers as conductor, music editor, teacher and composer. He held a professorship at the Royal Academy of Music and was the artistic director of the 1962 Bradford Delius Festival. He composedthe score for the film "Jamaica Inn" and his memoir "Delius As I Knew Him" was later made into a BBC television film.
