Biography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Smith<\/strong>, geboren 1930, begann seine musikalische Karriere als Sch\u00fcler am University College. Er spielte als Blechbl\u00e4ser im Chelsea Symphony Orchestra und im National Youth Orchestra und studierte danach Chemie am UCL. W\u00e4hrend seiner Arbeit mit Collin Davis, u.\u2009a. im Kalmar Orchestra und der Chelsea Opera Group, erwarb er sich Kenntnisse in musikalischer Phrasierung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neben seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit studierte er Dirigieren bei Norman Del Mar und war dessen Assistent im Croydon Symphony Orchestra. Er war Assistant Conductor des Modern Symphony Orchestra und nahm Kompositionsunterricht bei Malcolm Arnold. Zwanzig Jahre lang spielte er Horn im einem Bl\u00e4serquintett und leitete \u00fcber ein Jahrzehnt sein eigenes Bl\u00e4serensemble als Dirigent und Arrangeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ein besonderes Anliegen ist ihm exzellente, aber wenig beachtete Musik, die er f\u00fcr die moderne Auff\u00fchrungspraxis neu arrangiert. Sein eigener Werkkatalog beinhaltet vier Streichquartette, ein dreis\u00e4tziges Klavierquartett, einige Lieder f\u00fcr Sopran und Bl\u00e4serquintett sowie ein Quintett f\u00fcr Blechbl\u00e4ser, Tomkins Tunes, das 2004 bei Fine Arts Brass uraufgef\u00fchrt wurde. Eines seiner neuesten Werke, Bachorales, ein Konzert f\u00fcr zehn Bl\u00e4ser und Kontrabass, wurde am 8. Februar 2008 von ESO Winds unter seiner Leitung uraufgef\u00fchrt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seine Komposition Carolingua<\/em> f\u00fcr Streichquartett und vier Sopranstimmen, erhielt den Ersten Preis beim Kompositionswettbewerb des Henschel Quartetts und des BBC Music Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
