Arnold Bax

Arnold Bax has been played on NTS shows including Phil's Jazz Dis-Junction, with Four Sea Interludes Op. 33a first played on 27 February 2015.

Sir Arnold Edward Trevor Bax, KCVO (8 November 1883 — 3 October 1953), was an English composer and poet. His musical style blended elements of Romanticism and Impressionism, always with a strong Celtic influence. His orchestral scores are noted for their complexity and colourful instrumentation. Bax’s poetry and stories, which he wrote under the pseudonym of Dermot O’Byrne, reflect his profound affinity with Irish poet William Butler Yeats and are largely written in the tradition of the Irish Literary Revival.
