While still in his twenties, Scott was perceived as one of the pre-eminent avant-garde musicians of his generation. He was championed by such luminaries as Henry Wood and Thomas Beecham and his advocacy of the latest techniques briefly gave him a wide acquaintance with some of the leading musicians of the day, including Ravel and Debussy. After the First World War, however, he found himself increasingly at odds with the prevailing idioms of the day and became persona non grata with the musical establishment. His unorthodox non-musical interests, too (he wrote several books on occultism and alternative medicine), contributed to his lack of recognition as a serious composer.Tracks:
The score of Neptune is a revised version of Scott’s symphonic poem Disaster at Sea, a programmatic account of the sinking of the Titanic. The work evokes a cold calm sea, becoming more animated as the ship sails on its way. Later the trombones clearly evoke a foghorn and a tremendous climax follows. A series of storm episodes ensue before the whole orchestra takes up a lament for loss at sea.
Symphony No. 3 The Muses requires an enormous orchestra, including four flutes, a large percussion section with wind machine and two harps, the distinctive sound of orchestral piano, and in the last movement a vocalising choir. The symphony, which celebrates four of the nine muses (daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne and the spirits of poetry, the arts and astronomy), is the crowning work of Scott’s compositional career up to the outbreak of the Second World War.
Scott eschews the orchestral opulence of the earlier symphony in his Second Piano Concerto, giving the piano a leading role and calling for comparatively modest instrumental forces which he uses with restraint. The freely chromatic harmony and fluid changes of pulse are typical of his later music.
