Fantasy-Overture, September Night
Eric Fogg
(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
Eric Fogg began his musical life as a chorister at Manchester Cathedral, where he remained until 1917, his fifteenth year. He then became organist of St. John's Church. He first studied under his father and then uader Sir Granville Bantock.
One of Mr. Fogg's most important works is a Bassoon Concerto in D, which was first performed at a Promenade concert in 1931. His latest orchestral work, Fantasy-Overture, ' September Night', finished at the beginning of last year, is, as its title implies, a piece of musical phantasy illustrating no particular programme other than the feelings and emotions evoked by the ' atmosphere ' of an autumnal night. It is a charming little tone poem, neat in design and delicate in colouring.
