Arthur Bliss
[ Life | Works | Operas | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| Sir Arthur Bliss, Master of the Queen's Music in Great Britain from 1953 until his death, eventually followed the late romantic tradition of Elgar in English music, after a more controversial period of composition in youth. In accordance with the perceived duties of his official position, he wrote various ceremonial pieces, in addition to music for the concert-hall, theatre and cinema.
|
| Familiar music by Bliss includes excerpts from his film-score for H.G. Wells's "Things to Come", and the patriotic march Welcome the Queen, also written for a film.
