FRANK BRIDGE

26thFebruary 1879 --- 10thJanuary 1941

Bridge was born 1879 in Brighton, he is known for his beautifully crafted music which is full of haunting imagination pieces. He started
his life as  a violinist and  went to study at  the Royal College  of Music, in London in 1899,  first under Charles Villiers Stanford.  Bridge
change from the volin to the Volia, he then became known for his virtuoso playing on this  instrument, performing in the English String
Quartets. Bridge then began to composed in the early 1900's

Bridge composed his  String Quartet No.2 in 1915,  it was during the first world war and going  into the 1920's that Bridge composed a
number of beautiful pastoral and elegiac pieces, around 1926 Bridge music began to fall out of favour, because his works did not adopt
the lighter  approach,  although he was  still liked  in the USA,  where he  went to give  concerts of his  works like The Sea  and pastoral
works Summer.

Bridge met and taught a young new upcoming composer Benjamin Britten, who later composed a homage to him in the Variations on a
Theme of Frank Bridge (1937). In 1939 Bridge gave  his beloved Volia to Britten when he left for the USA, but sadly  Bridge died in 1941
before Britten got back from the USA.  Bridge has composed various works for strings and Orchestra's, for Piano Pensees  Fugitives in F
minor (1902),  Orchestral Mid of the Night (1903),  Symphonic Poem, Chamber music  Souvenir (1904),  are just a very  small sample of
the works of Bridge
