CAMEOS (score)

Cameos is dedicated to Tom Everett._x005F_x000D_
Gordon Jacob was born in Upper Norwood, South London, in 1895, a tenth child and a seventh son. He was educated at Dulwich College, which was an unusually musical school, and he wrote his first orchestral pieces there. _x005F_x000D_
During the First World War he was captured by the Germans near Arras, and in his prison camp organised a small orchestra whose entire repertoire he arranged or composed. This early practical approach to music was to remain a hallmark, and his music is always eminently 'playable'. After the war, having decided against a career in journalism, he entered the Royal College of Music, where he studied composition with Stanford, Howells and Vaughan Williams, conducting with Boult, and piano with Thalben Ball. _x005F_x000D_
Two of his books, 'Orchestral Technique' and 'How to Read a Score', are still much used and highly valued by students throughout the English-speaking world. He died in 1984.
