Obituary of Arnold Cooke English composer of works in many forms whose compositions owe a debt to his mentor Paul Hindemith
2005
Overview
He succeeded Walter Leigh as director of music at the Cambridge Festival Theatre, and from 1933 to 1938 taught composition at the Royal Manchester College of Music. His Concert Overture, which had won third prize in a Daily Telegraph competition, had its first performance at a concert at the RMCM when the Hall Orchestra was conducted by RJ Forbes, the college's principal. He wrote six symphonies between 1946 and 1984. The first was conducted by Sir Adrian Boult in 1949; the last has never been performed. He wrote concertos for piano (1940), oboe (1954), clarinet (two, 1956 and 1982), violin (1958), cello (1973) and a Concerto for Orchestra (1986). His chamber works include five string quartets (1933-78), a wind quintet, clarinet quintet, two cello sonatas, oboe quartet, piano quartet, string trio and many works for recorder.
