p, 1879-1970 GB, Cheshire East
Musician / Composer of Classical
27 September 1879 – 31 December 1970. English composer, writer, and poet. Scott was romanticist with some impressionist qualities. His harmonic treatments and piano works depict the exotic. He wrote around four hundred works, including four symphonies, three operas, two piano concertos, four oratorios, four concertos (for violin, cello, oboe and harpsichord) and several overtures (Nativity Hymn (1913), Mystic Ode (1932), Ode to Great Men (1936), and Hymn of Unity (1947), as well as tone poems, chamber music and songs. Between 1903 and 1914 Scott wrote more works for the piano than any other composer with the exception of Scriabin. He was called the "Father of modern British music" by Eugene Goossens, and was also admired by Debussy, Percy Grainger, Sorabji, Richard Strauss and Stravinsky. He was sometimes referred to as "the English Debussy".
