Ernest John Moeran
Moeran's death snatched away a composer with, perhaps, much more to contribute to human culture. It was the final act in a concatenation of increasingly ill-fated circumstances that had begun decades earlier, but which had nonetheless played a significant part in defining the music that he composed during the last twenty years of his life. His private means had enabled him to compose mostly what and when he wanted, with little interruption from the burden of commissions or otherwise having to compose to order. Thus, his surviving corpus of works is a more, personal creation than might be usual for a professional composer. Consequently, it may be supposed that more of the man himself may be found distilled in his music. Book jacket.
