With this music I give you voice to a composer most of you probably not have listened to, from a more recent composer, died 10.12 1932.

”Matinale" (Morning) was published by Novello in 1926. It is exactly the sort of thing that shows Fletcher at his very best!
The mood is light and carefree, and the harmonies and melodies are always delicate and delightful.

Percy Eastman Fletcher, was born in Derby on 12 December 1879 and died on 10 December 1932 at the early age of 52. He took lessons on violin, piano and organ, the former being his most important instrument. Like a number of his composer contemporaries, he made his living as a Musical Director in the London theater world, fulfilling this position successively at the Prince of Wales, Savoy, Daly's, Drury Lane and from, 1915 until his death, His Majesty's Theatre.


His creative activity was however by no means confined to the theater. There were ballads and songs, ad a considerable amount for chorus,as well as sacred works, "The Passion of Christ" (1922), one of the best of those sacred cantatas for small church choirs.
Fletcher wrote a large number of suites for light orchestras, and many fine, now forgotten, orchestral works.
Most of Fletcher's piano music was arranged from orchestral scores, but there are several fine works, originally for piano solo.
He also composed quite widely for organ. An Interlude of 1901 is probably his earliest dated publication, while later works include the two most famous of his organ works, both dating from 1915, "Festival Toccata" and the always exquisite, "Fountain Reverie."
"Matinale" (Morning) was published by Novello in 1926. It is exactly the sort of thing that shows Fletcher at his very best!
The mood is light and carefree, and the harmonies and melodies are always delicate and delightful.

Enjoy!

That is a beautiful piece, love the Organteq supporting the guitar lines. Really great playing and authentic sounding. Enjoyed this very much

Thank you Justin for your kind words. I'm very glad.

Best wishes,

Wow Stig what a beautiful piece! I have never listened to anything by this author but from what I hear it is really delicious: as you said light and fresh.
Thanks for sharing it
Carmelo

Thank you carmelo for your kind and most generous comments. I appreciate your taking time listening. I have recorded, some years ago, several pieces like this one, giving  voice to  composers most people not have listened to and did not know about. Might make a post with them all together - "Very rare pieces, forgotten composers"   

Best wishes,

Stig
