Phillip Sear plays one of a set of six preludes from 1912 by Arthur Somervell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Rather like Chopin's Berceuse, this piece has a similar (but not identical) accompaniment in almost every bar.
