Short bio Albert Ketèlbey
Full biography Albert Ketèlbey
Albert William Ketèlbey was an English composer, conductor, and pianist who lived from 1875 to 1959. He is best known for his light orchestral music, which includes the popular works "In a Persian Market", "In a Monastery Garden," and "Bells Across the Meadows."
Ketèlbey was born in Birmingham, England, and showed an early aptitude for music, receiving his first piano lessons at the age of six. He began to compose at a young age, and his family recognized his talent, providing him with the means to undergo formal musical education. He studied at Trinity College of Music in London and subsequently moved to Paris to further his studies in composition.
Ketèlbey's early works were often written for the theater, including incidental music for plays and musical comedies. He also worked as a conductor at several theaters, including the London Hippodrome. Despite his success in the theater, Ketèlbey's passion remained in writing light orchestral pieces, which he felt were underappreciated in the classical music world.
Ketèlbey's music was heavily influenced by his travels, and he often incorporated exotic or foreign sounds into his compositions. He wrote pieces inspired by places such as Japan, Persia (Iran), and the South Seas. His music was immensely popular in the early 20th century, and his pieces were frequently performed by orchestras and brass bands around the world.
While his popularity waned in the mid-20th century, the renewed interest in light, popular orchestral music in the 21st century has led to a resurgence of appreciation for Ketèlbey's work. His music continues to be played and recorded by orchestras and ensembles around the world, and he remains an important figure in the history of British music.
