Hubert Bath: The Dance of Miriam (Oriental Dance)

#1 from 'Scenes from the Prophets (Oriental Suite)' (1925)
-------------------------------------------------
Phillip Sear plays a lively dance by the British composer Hubert Bath, famous for his 'Cornish Rhapsody' from a film score.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hubert Bath (1883-1945) studied composition with Frederick Corder at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Although he wrote light orchestral suites and stage music, he is remembered today for his 1930s film scores, and in particular, for one of his last works, the 'Cornish Rhapsody' for piano and orchestra, which appeared in the 1944 film 'Love Story'. You can read much more about Bath's life and works here: bit.ly/WmOTDg .
This piece does not sound particularly oriental, but Bath's spare and unsentimental piano writing gives it a contemporary feel.
