Music from the British Isles

[fredbucket]

Harry Ralton - I suspect this chap is British, but otherwise I know nothing else about him - was a composers of songs and film music ! His very pleasant Feathers in the Wind.

The National Library of Australia has some of his work - http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Search/Home ... hatimean=1

Maurice Besley [Besly] (1888-1945) English composer and conductor. Studied at Leipzig Conservatoire with Teichmuller, Krehl and Schreck - then with Ansermet. Taught at the Tonbridge School (1912-14), was organist of Queen's College, Oxford (1919), and conducted the Oxford Orchestra (1920). In 1922 made his debut as conductor in London and after 1924 became conductor of Glasgow Scottish Orchestra. Composed orchestral and chamber works, but noted for his many songs, motets and anthems.

I have posted his lighter Phastasy Suite [thank you Mr P].

Does anyone have Charles Hubert Hastings Parry's Charakterbilder (Seven Ages of Mind), especially No.5 Espressivo and No.6 Allegro energico?

The First Sonata in F and the Second in a minor would be nice to have, also.

Pleasant music, bordering on charming.

Thanks very much.

I believe someone enquired about the piano sonata by Livens.......so in the true spirit of Pianophilia, I shall post such a rarity.

Together with his sister, Evangeline, Leo Livens (1896-1990) was a piano pupil of Tobias Matthay. Livens was a precocious talent - his set of Impressions were published by Anglo-French when he was not yet 20. He taught piano at the Royal Academy of Music in London from 1922, but his career was cut short by mental illness and he died in Shenley Mental Hospital, Radlett.

Unfortunately I can find almost no mention or information on Evangeline Livens.

I have posted Leo's sonata circa 1914, plus three sketches by his sister, Evangeline.
