The
Fountain Reverie features
soft, rippling arpeggios
with a contrasting middle
section. As with the
Festival Toccata,
published at the same
time, the brilliance of
Fountain Reverie
disguises the fact that
one does not need to be a
virtuoso to play it well
and effectively, and it
plays well on many
different Organs.Percy
Fletcher was an English
composer, conductor and
Orchestrator of
prodigious output who
made his career in the
lively world of the
London music theatre of
the years of the late
19th and early 20th
century. He was music
director at many
theatres, including His
Majesty's Theatre for the
last seventeen years of
his life. He was the
Orchestrator and
conductorfor the big
budget spectacular
theatre piece Chu Chin
Chow which ran for five
years, a record that
remained unbroken for
forty years. In addition
to his myriad works of
light music, Fletcher
also wrote a serious
church cantata, The
Passion of Christ, as
well as the delightful
children's work, The
Walrus and the
Carpenter.
