THE ENGLISH COMPOSERS OF THE 20-th CENTURY.

The English composer Arthur Bliss was born in 1891. He was educated at the Cambridge University. In 1913 he went to the College of Music in London. When the World War I began, he joined the army and served during all the period of the war (1914 - 1918), being wounded twice. On his return home he continued his self education in music. As a result of it his rhapsody for soprano and tenor with flute, string quartet and doublebass and the Concerto for piano, tenor, strings and percussion were composed. In 1921 he composed music for a production of Shakespeare's "Tempest" in London. But it was not a success. A much great event was the production of the "Colour Symphony" in 1922. In 1923 Bliss left England for California. He was musically associated with the firm industry and composed a string quartet, piano pieces and songs. He was back in England in 1926. Soon after it he appeared as a composer with a new version of the Concerto of 1919, now arranged for two pianos and orchestra and considerably revised. He had become a serious composer though he always intented on writing in a modern way. For example, in a quintet for oboe and strings he approached a beautifully mature chamber style. No less fine is the sonata for viola and piano which demands great virtuosity. Arthur Bliss has written ballet, orchestral pieces, chamber music, concertos and film music. His music was admired by many people.

Benjamin Britten is an English composer, pianist, conductor, public man and a famous representative of modern English music. He was born in 1913. He played the piano at seven, composed an oratorio at nine and had written a symphony, quartets and other works by the time he was sixteen.

He first attracted attention in 1934 with the music which he composed for the International Society for Contemporary Music. During World War II he lived in the United States. While living there he composed an opera "Peter Grimes" which was successfully produced in the USA and abroad. This opera placed Britten among the major composers of England.

Among his other compositions are "Let's Make an Opera" composed especially for young people, "Beggar's Opera", "Midsummer Night's Dream", "War Requiem" and others. Britten's gift lies in his music and music for the orchestra, including the popular "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra".
