British composer.

He studied composition with Stanford at the Royal College of Music in London. After graduation, alongside his compositional activities, he also performed as a violist in chamber music. After World War I, he produced works strongly inclined towards chromaticism and those employing sophisticated contrapuntal techniques. He also tutored Britten.
