Gordon Jacob (1895-1984) was a British composer in the Twentieth Century. Although he lived in an era where most composers moved away from tonality and traditional structures, Jacob retained a compositional style of Classicism. For instance, his music is tonal, has clear structure, and is full of beautiful melodies. His composition style combines musical elements of the Classical period with new concepts of the Twentieth Century. The purpose of this thesis is to study the historical background of the composer as well as his composition style and to provide a music analysis and suggestions of musical interpretation for Gordon Jacob's Concerto for Flute and Strings.
