SPRING SONG

By
Frank Bridge

Arranged for violin and cello duo by Marcus Martin

Frank Bridge, 1879 - 1941, was an English composer,

viola player, and conductor particularly known for his
chamber music and songs.

Bridge's music has been sadly underrated. A student

of Charles Villiers Stanford, he in turn became the
teacher of Benjamin Britten. Although he composed
in many genres, he was particularly successful in his
smaller forms, such as the Phantasie Quartet for
piano and strings (1910), and this attractive Spring
Song which is taken from his H. 104, a collection of
four small pieces for either violin or cello composed
in 1912.
