Cyril
Scott was an
English composer, writer,
and poet. He was
essentially a late
romantic composer, whose
style was at the same
time strongly influenced
by impressionism. His
harmony was notably
exotic.
Scott wrote
around four hundred
works,which include two
mature symphonies, three
operas, three Piano
concertos,concertos for
Violin, Cello, Oboe and
Harpsichord, several
overtures, four
oratorios, as well as a
mass of chamber
music.
While
less appreciated during
his lifetime, it is
Scott's late
works(written between
1950 and his death) that
are the most individual,
with their ever-shifting
harmoniccolours and
wayward inflections of
phrase and mood,capturing
perfectly the way the
mind shifts, backwards
and forwards, between
reminiscence, regrets,
and self-assertion.
Composed
in 1961 for Flute and
Piano and premiered by
William Bennett and
Margaret Norman on
November 9 of that year,
Sonata For
Flute is
perfect example of
the genius of
Scott's late
works.
