MUSIC BY CYRIL SCOTT
NE of the most individualistic of modern English. composers, Cyril Scott, is a pianist of exceptional abilities. Although as a composer he soon adopted the principles and methods of the ultra-modern impressionists, his works come well within the bounds of the layman’s appreciation. Scott is a Theosophist and a student of occult philosophy, and as well as believing in the transmigration of souls he is said to be a thorough believer in the relation between tones and colours. That he has a deep love for the simple and beautiful in nature is reflected in many of the best known of his shorter musical works, some of which will be featured from 3ZB at 3.45 p.m. on Friday afternoon, September 27, the day on which Cyril Scott celebrates his 61st birthday.
