Brilliance, productivity, and a certain disdain for conventional procedures marked the earlier music of Eric Fogg. He began to compose when he was a boy, and by the time he was seventeen had written nearly sixty works. During the next few years he produced music for two ballets in addition to a number of orchestral and chamber works; and in these rather more mature pieces a vivid imagination and a high degree of skill are evident. His sensitive setting of Keats' Ode to a Nightingale was composed when he was twenty-one.
Born at Manchester in 1903, he studied with his father and mother, both of whom were musicians, and also had some lessons from Sir Granville Bantock. In 1924 he joined the staff of the BBC and later became conductor of the BBC Empire Orchestra. His career was brought to a premature end when he died in London in 1939 Harold Rutland
