| The work of this English composer, conductor and accomplished violist is now beginning to enjoy some favour. Among his composition pupils he numbered Benjamin Britten one of whose earlier works is based on a composition by Bridge. |
| Bridge's orchestral works bring useful additions to the string orchestra repertoire. These include his Lament of 1915, an earlier Suite and a Christmas dance, Sir Roger de Coverley, and versions of Sally in Our Alley and Cherry Ripe, originally designed for string quartet. |
