	Arthur Bliss
		Born in 1891 of an English father and American mother, Arthur Bliss was destined to display characteristics of both nations, his profound romanticism balanced by an unquenchable energy and optimism.
		With the return of peace, Bliss’ career took off rapidly as a composer of what were, for British audiences, startlingly new pieces often for unusual ensembles, such as a concerto for wordless tenor voice, piano and strings, and ‘Rout’ for soprano and chamber orchestra, in which the voice sings phonetic sounds rather than words.
		Bliss was always an ambitious, prolific composer, and some of his works were clearly intended for a wider international audience than they actually received.

	Arthur Bliss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Arthur Edward Drummond Bliss, CH, KCVO (August 2, 1891 - March 27, 1975) was a British composer.
		Born to an English father and American mother, Bliss was destined to display characteristics of both nations, his profound romanticism balanced by an unquenchable energy and optimism.
		From the late twenties onwards Bliss moved more into the traditional English scene with choral works such as Pastoral and Morning Heroes, and in the 1930s he wrote the music for the film Things to Come and the ballet Checkmate.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Arthur Bliss
		Morning Heroes is a symphony for orator, chorus and orchestra by the English composer Arthur Bliss.
		Bliss was the final piece in the creative puzzle, and he agreed to write the score, using Wells' screenplay (which was still being written) as a guide.
		Bliss received a knighthood in 1950 and three years later was made Master of the Queen's Music (the musical equivalent of poet laureate), serving in that post until his death in 1975.

	SIR ARTHUR BLISS, COMPOSER: His Life & Music: a Brief Overview

		Bliss served in the trenches of World War One in the British Army; his brother was killed in the war.
		In conclusion, Bliss is an unjustly neglected composer.

	Sir Arthur Bliss : The Film Music of Sir Arthur Bliss - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Sir Arthur Bliss is best remembered in film music circles for the score he composed for the 1936 science fiction epic Things to Come.
		Bliss himself recorded his concert suite from Things to Come in the mid-1930s, and again, in stereo, in the middle to late 1950s, and the latter was available in several vinyl editions and at least two CD versions.
		The remainder of the CD contains Bliss' "Welcome the Queen" and his theme from the documentary television series War in the Air, as well as a 17-minute suite derived from his never-used music from the 1944 film Caesar and Cleopatra, all of which fill in significant holes in the composer's film-related output.

		Bliss did not have as strong or distinctive a musical voice as his English contemporaries Delius and Walton did, but his style is no mere matter of a scissors-and-paste collage of various musical idioms current at the time.
		Bliss was part-American by parentage, Donohoe is English but presumably of Irish extraction, I myself am Scottish and happy to hear how the orchestra from which I first learned about orchestral music has developed into a world-class band, but probably not well placed to assess the comparative romanticism of Americans.
		Bliss wrote it on commission from the British Council for the 1939 New York World's Fair and it was premired by Solomon with the New York Philharmonic under Adrian Boult.

		Bliss was more successful in another enterprise: in the course of a full Californian social life, he met, wooed and won Gertrude Hoffmann, whom he married in 1925.
		In his final years Arthur Bliss was, musically, still working at full stretch: producing a cello concerto and the Piano Tryptych, as well as the music for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernavon Castle in 1969, which greatly added to the splendour of the occasion.
		Bliss also worked in the Milan Archives: transcripts of manuscripts extracted by him may be found in the record series PRO 31/2 at the Public Record Office.

	The Film Music of Sir Arthur Bliss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Sir Arthur Bliss is best remembered today for his stirring march from Things to Come, a dystopian sci-fi film from HG Wells, in the tradition of Metropolis.
		Bliss' musical depiction of industry is perhaps rather literal, the clanking percussion of Excavation, Building of the New World and Machines contrive to echo the sound of machinery, but with a grimly determined brass marching theme overlaid.
		Bliss is a prototypical post Elgar British composer and anyone with an interest in British film music of the era will find this indispensable.

		Sir Arthur Bliss (1891-1975), Sohn angloamerikanischer Eltern, gehört zu den renommierten britischen Komponisten, die auf dem Kontinent weniger geläufig sind.
		Insofern hat sich Arthur Bliss, trotz eines nur kleinen filmmusikalischen uvres (insgesamt acht Musiken für Spielfilme sowie einige Dokumentarfilme), als Wegbereiter für das so genannte „Golden Age of British Cinema“ verdient gemacht.
		Ob sich dem Hörer die eigenwillige Farbästhetik des Arthur Bliss in „A Colour Symphony“ klanglich überhaupt erschließt, ist letztlich von untergeordneter Bedeutung.

	Arthur Bliss - Piano Concerto, Piano Sonato, Concerto For Two Pianos : album review
		The Naxos British piano concerto series moves on to examine the work of Arthur Bliss, whose contribution to the genre is a big-boned, virtuosic piece lasting almost forty minutes.
		The concerto was commissioned by the British Council for the New York World's Fair, dedicated to Solomon and described by Bliss as "what is loosely called romantic".
		With a statement of intent from the piano in octaves at the outset, Bliss announces a style following in the tradition of big sounding piano concertos from Liszt and Tchaikovsky, but the melodic material is pained by an unmistakably English brush.
