Curzon, Ernest Frederic C Composers CompositionCurzon, Ernest FredericEnglish light music composer Frederic Curzon (1899-1973) was also an accomplished organist, who spent much of his adult life giving concerts. His compositional career began at age 12, when he wrote settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which were performed by a local choir. By twenty, he already had his own orchestra and was writing music for silent movies. He produced a tremendous volume of work in an array of genres, often using the noms de plume Graham Collett and Harold Ramsay. Curzon was highly respected by his peers, well-received by the public and the critics, and it is somewhat perplexing that his name has almost vanished among lists of 20th Century composers.
