17
The fourth volume of 17 is dedicated to the British composer, Gordon Jacob, OA (1895-1984). Gordon Jacob studied composition, theory and conducting at the Royal College of Music, where he subsequently taught from 1924 until his retirement in 1966. His textbook, Orchestral Technique (1931), is considered an indispensable work of scholarship. Jacob’s orchestral transcription of Sir Edward Elgar’s first organ sonata is one of his more brilliant and important scores.
