Cecil Armstrong Gibbs, who six days ago celebrated his fifty-first birthday, was born near Chelmsford and was educated at Winchester and Cambridge, where he studied under Professor E.J. Dent. He then went to the Royal College of Music and later joined the staff as a professor of composition.
As a composer he excels in light and fanciful chamber music written with perfect craftsmanship, and in songs of a particularly delicate and sensitive character. His settings of Walter de la Mare's fragrant little poems are superb achievements.
