Phillip Sear plays a short piece from an 1898 set by the once-popular American composer Henry K. Hadley.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry K(imball) Hadley (1871-1937) started his musical education with his music teacher father in Massachusetts, and began his professional career as a violinist in an opera orchestra.  He then followed the well-trodden path to Europe to finish his musical education, and spent time in Vienna studying composition with the Romanian composer and musicologist Eusebius Mandyczewski, who introduced him to Brahms' circle.  He returned to the USA for a few years as a teacher and composer, but went back to Europe - to Germany - to study with Thuille.  On his final return to the States in 1909 he became an eminent conductor, and one of the most-performed American composers of his time.  He was a pioneer in film music, and founded what became the Tanglewood festival.  He was a very prolific composer in many genres, as indicated in his Wikipedia page ( http://bit.ly/2d6DWRa ).  This short piece comes from a set of six, written while Hadley had a teaching post in New York.  All of them have individual titles beginning with the letter 'F'.
