IAN WHYTE
Ian Whyte , who is the B.B.C's Music Director in Scotland, was born in Dunfermline in 1901. He studied at the Carnegie School of Music, Dunfermline, with David Stephen (then Principal of the School), and Philip Halstead. In 1918, he went to the Royal College of Music and won a scholarship for composition. On his return to Scotland in 1923, he spent three months with the B.B.C., and was organist for some years to Lord Glentanar.
Mr. Whyte has written a number of works and undertaken a large number of arrangements for items included in Scottish programmes, particularly those which have been recently heard in the recitals of ' Music from the Scottish Past '. His Beatitudes for chorus and string quartet, and The Solitary Reaper for chorus, solo viola, and piano, have been broadcast in the programme entitled ' At a Solemn Musick '. In addition to his multifarious musical duties, Mr. Whyte is conductor of the Edinburgh Opera Company.
