Phillip Sear plays three short preludes by the British pianist, organist and composer Ivor R. Foster (1904-1998). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - Andante non troppo; 2 - Lento; 3 - Allegro. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The British composer Ivor R(eginald) Foster (1904-98) was born in Devon and studied music at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he later became a professor of harmony and composition. He also taught at his own studios in London. When he got married (on New Year's Day, 1935) he wrote his own wedding march for organ. He became known for light music from the 1930s through 1950s, but seems to be remembered today only for a few educational piano pieces and instrumental solos. His music is always ascribed to 'Ivor R. Foster', presumably to differentiate himself from the famous Welsh baritone Ivor Foster. These pieces are reminiscent of works of the same period by the likes of York Bowen, John Ireland and EJ Moeran. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
