Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Michael Head (28 January 1900 24 August 1976) was a British composer, pianist, organist and singer who left some enduring works still popular today. Noted for his association with the Royal Academy of Music, his compositional oeuvre mainly consists of songs, as well as choral works and few larger-scale pieces such as a piano concerto. Michael Dewar Head was born in Eastbourne, United Kingdom on 28 January 1900. His father was a barrister and journalist and his mother an accomplished amateur singer and pianist. His mother s influence evidently dominated, and at age 10 he commenced his musical training, taking piano lessons with Jean Adair and singing with Fritz Marston at the Adair-Marston School of Music. He was educated at Monkton Combe School in Somerset. In 1919, after a period of study at the Royal Academy of Music, he won the Sir Michael Costa scholarship for composition. During World War I he was called up for service, and while working at an ammunition factory, composed the song cycle Over the rim of the moon (Head et al., 1920). This was to become his first published work.
