| Naxos | British Light Music during the earlier part of the 20th century was divided between the 'serious' classical composers, such as Cecil Armstrong-Gibbs, who also wrote light music, and those whose careers were devoted to this genre, George Melachrino being one of the famous names. Today that divide still exists, John Rutter, composer modern sacred works, equally enjoys working in light music, while Peter Dodd only produces his readily attractive popular music. Between these two points on the musical compass, David Lyon brings a symphonic atmosphere to his light music scores; a similar approach we find in Roy Douglas's Cantilena, and Philip Lane's attractive Pantomime |
