Maurice Blower

Biography

Maurice Blower (1894-1982) was an English composer.

Blower was long associated with the Petersfield Festival, and is reasonably well known as a composer of mainly vocal music. He also composed a horn concerto for Dennis Brain. He wrote a symphony in C major, which dates from just before the Second World War but lay unplayed and forgotten in a loft for over six decades until 2005, when it was discovered by his son, Thomas.
