Pure Bliss – rediscovering a great forgotten composer Can new recordings of this neglected British composer’s music finally put an end to our ignorance of Bliss? Unbridled originality: Sir Arthur Bliss Credit: Bettman The two volumes of the piano music of Sir Arthur Bliss, played with great perception and sensitivity by Mark Bebbington and available on the Somm label as part of its heroic mission to present lesser-known pieces by British composers, has precipitated me back into an exploration of the work of this curate’s egg of a composer. I have always thought Bliss missed out on the renown he deserved, even though he ended up, for the last 22 years of his long life (he died in 1975, aged 83), as Master of the Queen’s Musick, in succession to Sir Arnold Bax. Unlike many who have held that role, he made quite a success of it. He found composing easy, and never seemed to have any trouble doing it to order. ....
Claude Debussy in 1908 I sometimes get the nagging feeling, listening to piano trios, that there’s something missing. Something in the middle of the texture, perhaps? An emollient voice tempering the soloistic onslaught? Or am I simply a viola player envious because of my instrument’s absence from such a popular chamber music genre?

His Sonata for flute, viola and harp, completed in the autumn of 1915, may not have been the first time these instruments made a threesome together – there is a 1905 Terzettino by Théodore Dubois, the director of the Paris Conservatoire who warned students off attending the premiere of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande. And Arnold Bax almost certainly wrote his Elegiac Trio of 1916 at around the same time, unaware of Debussy’s Sonata, which the composer himself only got to hear in December ....
When Sir Arnold Bax wrote his symphonic poem, “Tales the Pine Trees Knew,” he was thinking of Norway and Scotland. He explained, “This work is concerned solely with the abstract mood of these places, and the pine trees tale must be taken purely as a generic one. Certainly I had no specific coniferous story to relate.” But the pine trees at Interlochen do know a number of tales. Certainly, by studying the annual rings of the venerable pines at Interlochen, one can the pinpoint the time in the 1870s when the lumber industry began, the settlement and demise of the village of Wylie, the era when the Pennington family built a hotel and established summer camps. ....
