For a fuller Bio on Harry Balfour Gardiner please visit This website. Below is just a brief Bio.

Harry Balfour Gardiner was born in Kensington, London, his interest in music started when he was about 5 years old,  and remarkable he started
to compose at the age of 9 years old, his schooling was at Charterhouse School and New College, Oxford, Gardiner moved to Frankfurt, Germany
to study the piano at the Hoch Conservatory, he studied under Iwan Knorr and Lazzaro Uzielli in the 1890's.

He tried his hand at  teaching music at Winchester College in 1907,  but only did it for a short period of time,  also around this time he started to
compose again and some of his works included compositions in a variety of genres,  including symphonies, Hymn's,  songs and piano pieces,  his
symphony No.2, was premiered at the Proms in 1908. Sadly most of his symphony's  and many other of his pieces,  were destroyed by Gardiner,
because it was said he was extremely self critical, so very liitle of his works survive to the present time.

His compostion's that do survive are Overture to a Comedy 1906, and Shepherd Fennell's Dance, plus some others like his coral and piano works
etc, Gardiner died of a stroke in Salisbury in 1950.
