Colin Macleod Campbell , who is a member of a distinguished family of soldiers and sailors, was born in London in 1890. He studied at the Royal Academy of Music under Frederick Corder , and later took his Mus. Bac. at Oxford. In 1921 Campbell won a great success with his one-act opera, Thais and Talmaae, which was produced by the Carl Rosa Company in London and the provinces, and recently broadcast from the studio.
The Fantasy Suite, which was originally written as a children's Christmas ballet, is very characteristic of Campbell's delicate fancy and charming melodic invention.
