Clive Strutt

(1942-)


Clive Strutt was born in Aldershot, England, in 1942. For over thirty years
he has been resident on the island of South Ronaldsay, in the Orkney Isles,
off Scotland's north coast. His compositions (mostly orchestral, chamber,
choral, and vocal works) have been performed in Canada, France, Germany,
Ireland, Norway, Russia, the UK and the USA.

Strutt studied at the Royal Academy of Music, London, with Sir Lennox
Berkeley (composition) and Leighton Lucas (orchestration). He took 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.’

Among his honours feature the Manson Bequest from the Royal Academy
of Music (1964) for ‘Symphony No. 1 in E minor’, the Carolan Award
(1986) in the Celtic Harp Competition (Dinan, France) forHibernian
Rhapsody (aset of variations on two ancient Irish melodies for solo Celtic
harp), and two prizes in the William Baird Ross competition for Church
Music in Scotland (Second Prize [1987] forThe White Island; Third Prize
[1990] forA Glastonbury Carol).

Strutt is fascinated by the music of the Eastern Orthodox Church and has
visited Mount Athos several times. Also a philatelist, he is an authority on
the Universal Postal Union.

Clive Strutt was a close friend of the composer, harpist and oboist Derek
Bell (of The Chieftains), also published by Amoris International.
