BANTOCK, the son of a doctor, had some
-D lessons at Trinity College, London, and then studied at the Royal Academy of Music. Here some of his compositions were performed. Later, he ran a musical magazine for a time, and conducted musical comedies, in the provinces and on a world tour. In 1897 he became Musical Director at New Brighton Tower, and made known there a good deal of British music. Then in 1900 he was made Principal of the Birmingham and Midland Institute School of Music, and, seven years later. Professor of Music in the University of Birmingham.
In his choice of subjects for musical treatment he has frequently been attracted by Eastern and pagan ideas, poetry and mythology.
