Ernest John Moeran - On a May Morning

Composer: Ernest John Moeran (31 December 1894 -- 1 December 1950) Performer: Iris Loveridge (piano) Year of recording: 1959 On a May Morning, written in 1921. One movement, Allegretto grazioso In 1920 Moeran resumed his studies at the Royal College of Music. His composition teacher was John Ireland, whose influence is clearly heard in this work of 1921. If the style is derivative, the structure is individual, transforming a rather limpid introduction into a more eventful dance in 6/8 time.
