Henry Cotter Nixon

British Composer and Organist

Henry Cotter Nixon (1842–1907) was an English composer and conductor, whose work has been largely forgotten until recent years. Not much is widely known about his life or career, as he did not gain the same level of fame as some of his contemporaries. Nixon's music is characteristic of the Romantic period, and he composed a variety of works including orchestral music, chamber pieces, and songs. Despite his obscurity, Nixon's compositions have been revisited in the 21st century, leading to a renewed interest in his work. The albums "Complete Orchestral Music, Volume One," "Complete Orchestral Music, Volume Two," and "Complete Orchestral Music, Volume Three" suggest a modern effort to record and compile his orchestral works comprehensively. These recordings would be significant in contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Nixon's music among classical music enthusiasts and scholars.
