[ Life | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| Well known in his time as a conductor, pianist and composer, Frederic Cowen was once known as "the English Schubert" for his contribution to English song.He regarded himself as a symphonist, with six symphonies to his credit, but excelled in lighter music, exemplified in the concert overture "The Butterfly's Ball", inspired by a well known children's poem. More exotic is his Indian Rhapsody, first performed at the Hereford Festival in 1903.
