About

An arrangement of Frank Bridge’s ‘First Book of Organ Pieces’ by Neil Richmond for flute and piano.

Frank Bridge

Bridge (1879-1941) was an English composer, violist and conductor. He studied Royal College of Music under Charles Villiers Stanford and other Professors. Bridge was a member of various string quartets, such as the Grimson Quartet where he played the second violin, and the English String Quartet where he played the viola alongside Marjorie Hayward. In addition to his instrumental performances, he also took on conducting roles, occasionally filling in for Henry Wood.

Bridge held strong pacifist beliefs, deeply disturbed by the First World War, which inspired him to write pastoral and elegiac pieces seeking solace. Notable works from this period include ‘The Lament’ for strings and ‘Summer’ for orchestra.

Bridge also served as a mentor to Benjamin Britten, who paid tribute to him in the ‘Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge’.

His early works showcased the influence of Brahms, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Franck, and Fauré. As his style matured, Bridge explored more modernist tendencies, including impressionistic elements influenced by Stravinsky and Debussy.
