Phillip Sear plays a piece from the 1916 piano version of a suite drawn from a 1912 stage work 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 ). 'The Atonement of Pan' was a music theatre piece, written as the 1912 Grove Play for the members of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, and performed at their annual summer encampment at Bohemian Grove, Monte Rio. For more about the fascinating Bohemian Club, see http://bit.ly/2djTbGQ . An orchestral suite from the work was performed early in 1913 by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, and Hadley produced this piano version a few years later.
