Full biography Gerald Finzi
Gerald Raphael Finzi (July 14, 1901 - September 27, 1956) was a British composer who is best known for his choral compositions, although he also wrote in other genres. Finzi was born in London, England, and was of Italian and Jewish descent. He began composing as a child and received formal training at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
During his lifetime, Finzi composed a significant amount of vocal and choral music, including several song cycles and two major choral works: Intimations of Immortality and For St. Cecilia. He was known for his use of English texts and for his sensitive settings of poetry. In addition to his vocal and choral compositions, Finzi also wrote chamber music and orchestral pieces.
Despite his talent as a composer, Finzi did not achieve widespread recognition during his lifetime. He was a private individual who struggled with depression and had an enduring interest in the poetry of Thomas Hardy. Finzi was also an agnostic, which was unusual for a composer of his time.
Today, Finzi is considered one of the most important and influential English composers of the 20th century. His music is characterized by its lyricism, its use of modal harmonies, and its evocation of the English countryside. He is remembered not only for his compositions, but also for his dedication to promoting the work of other composers through his role as a tutor of composition.
In conclusion, Gerald Finzi was a British composer who made important contributions to the fields of choral and vocal music. He was a private individual who struggled with depression, but his music is remembered for its lyricism, its sensitivity, and its evocation of the English countryside. Today, he is recognized as one of the most important English composers of the 20th century.
