| Composer Ernest John Moeran 1894-1950 |
 |
Moeran was born in Heston, the son of a clergyman of Irish descent, but his family soon moved to Fen Country, Norfolk. He learnt violin and piano as a child and, from 1913, studied in the Royal College of Music with Charles Villiers Stanford. He received serious head wounds in World War I and this is generally believed to have contributed to mental ill-health in later life. After the war he returned to the College to resume his studies, now with John Ireland. His first mature compositions, songs and chamber music, date from this time. He also began collecting and arranging folk music of Norfolk and other regions. |
