Clive Strutt
Clive Strutt was born in 1942 at Aldershot, Hampshire, in southern England. For some thirty years, he has been resident in the Orkney Islands, off Scotland's north coast. As a student at The Royal Academy of Music, London, he majored in composition under the guidance of his tutor, Lennox Berkeley. Mr. Strutt took orchestration with Leighton Lucas, piano and viola as second studies, and, as he puts it, "the other academic manifestations of music thought to be useful to a musician by the educational authorities of the time". Strutt was awarded the Manson Bequest for Composition in 1964 for his "Symphony No. 1", composed whilst at the RAM. Other prizes include the Dr. William Baird Ross Trust Awards for Church Music which were twice bestowed upon him, and the Carolan Award, which was presented in 1986 at the International Celtic Harp Competition in Dinan, France. The latter recompensed his "Hibernian Rhapsody", a set of Variations on two ancient Irish melodies for solo Celtic harp. Virtually all of Clive Strutt's music is available for study in the archive of the Scottish Music Centre in Glasgow, Scotland. |
