Bridge
Frank Bridge (1879–1941) was an English composer and viola player whose output split into two distinct phases: early works in a warmly late Romantic idiom, and a later modernism that left him somewhat isolated in British musical life between the wars. He is best remembered as Benjamin Britten's teacher; Britten studied with him from the age of ten and paid tribute in 1937 with his Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge. His string writing is the most immediately accessible part of his output, including the Lament for string orchestra, written in 1915 in memory of a young girl killed when the Lusitania was sunk.
