Arthur Benjamin

Benjamin studied in the RCM and after offering in the infantry as well as the air flow pressure in WWI, joined the personnel from the RCM in 1926. His early compositions had been affected by Gershwin, although this influence is difficult to acquire upon hearing his function. An achieved pianist, his capability on the device also played a significant part in his function. A later on and more effective impact was that of Latin American music. One of is own most popular items and one that obtained him international acknowledgement may be the Jamaican Rumba (1938). Nearly all his function is usually light and jovial in personality. Although he do write some severe compositions, these were infrequently performed and his popularity rests along with his lighter function. He also made up for film, a good example of which may be the rating for the 1947 film An Ideal Spouse.
