“As a composer I might class myself as a Neo-Romantic, inasmuch as I have always regarded music as a highly personal and emotional form of expression. I like to write music which takes its inspiration from poetry, art and nature. I do not care for purely decorative music.

And in using modern techniques, I have tried at all times to subjugate them to a larger idea or a grander human feeling.”
