Phillip Sear plays an upbeat waltz from a series of three pieces in dance form evoking Pan's pipes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The British composer Arthur Somervell (1863-1937) is mainly remembered today as a song composer, and in particular settings of Tennyson's 'Maud' and Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad'. However, he wrote operettas, choral music, chamber music, piano pieces etc, and taught at the Royal College of Music. His eminence as a musician was recognized with a knighthood in 1929. This piece, from a series of three, was published in 1901. Note the attractive cover art showing Pan playing his pipes, which I have reproduced near the start of the video. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
