Alan Rawsthorne (1905-1971) Concerto for String Orchestra Concertante pastorale for Flute, Horn andStrings Light Music for Strings (based on CatalanTunes) Suite for Recorder and String Orchestra Elegiac Rhapsody for String Orchestra Divertimento for Chamber OrchestraAlan Rawsthome was born on 2nd May 1905 inthe Lancashire town of Haslingden and reached his early twenties beforedeciding to take up music as his chosen career. Fortunately he abandoned earlystudy of dentistry in favour of architecture, but failure in the preliminarystages of these disciplines provided a passport to the Royal Manchester Collegeof Music, to study the piano and the cello. On leaving college in 1930 hecontinued his studies abroad, notably of the piano with Egon Petri. From 1932to 1934 he taught at Dartington Hall and was composer-in-residence for theSchool of Dance and Mime. He won his first notable success at the LondonFestival of the International Society for Contemporary Music in 1938 with aperformance of his Theme and Variations for Two Violins. A furthersuccess came at the Warsaw Festival of the same organization in 1939 with his SymphonicStudies, a first and highly accomplished orchestral score, which was to winan established place in orchestral repertoire. Following the war, in which heserved in the Army, he devoted himself to composition and between then and hisdeath in 1971, though not prolific, he produced a number of substantial worksin most of the established forms, many of these in response to commissions,including a very distinguished contribution to music for films, Between 1937and 1964 he wrote scores for 26 films, including The Cruel Sea, The CaptiveHeart, Where No Vultures Fly, Saraband for Dead Lovers, West of Zanzibar andPandora and the Flying Dutchman.Rawsthorne demonstrated his owndistinctive voice from the very earliest of his published compositions, Hisworks are marked by clarity of expression and form, craftsmanship andconcision, The characteristics of the rejected disciplines of dentistry andarchitecture are to be found in his music, the precision of the former and theshapeliness and form of the latter. His personality shows through in a degreeof understatement, refusal to compromise or follow fashion and, where fitting,dry wit, He published some seventy works, including valuable additions to thepiano repertoire, a distinguished body of chamber music, three symphonies,eight concertos, fifteen orchestral works, a ballet score and a handful ofchoral works and songs. Rawsthorne's Concerto for StringOrchestra received its first performance on Radio Hilversum in June 1949,with a performance at a London Promenade Concert the following August. It is inthree movements. The main subject of the first movement is stated in the twoopening bars, before launching into a turbulent molto allegro, establishingthe restlessness, felt even in its quieter moments, which pervades the wholemovement. The second subject is identifiable by its broken and resolute rhythm,
