Hubert Bath was a British composer born on November 6, 1883, in Barnstaple, Devon, England. He was a noted composer of light music and film scores, and is known for his compositions which include orchestral pieces, choral works, and songs. Hubert Bath studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and began his career by writing music for the theatre before moving on to film.
Bath became a prolific composer for British films during the 1930s, producing scores for more than fifty films. He is known for his contribution to the music of film classics like "The 39 Steps," "Love Story," and "Cornish Rhapsody." His compositions have been used in films, radio, and television shows over the years and his legacy continues to inspire and influence modern musicians.
Bath also composed pieces for brass bands and wrote championship test pieces for the brass band championships. His pieces were considered technically demanding and challenging to perform. He succeeded the famous light music composer, Harry Alford, as the conductor of the London Palladium Orchestra and was also appointed conductor of the New Mayfair Dance Orchestra in 1922.
Hubert Bath died on April 24, 1945, in Harefield, Middlesex, at the age of 61. Despite his relatively short life, his music has remained popular, and his work has been celebrated by musicians and audiences alike.
