Life

Trademarks: colorful, exotic titles and settings for his music; heavily influenced by Celtic and Arabian/Oriental fantasies.

Per his request, Bantock’s remains were cremated and scattered on top of Moelwyn Mawr in north Wales.

Having been asked to contribute to the Bantock Memorial Fund following Bantock’s death, famed playwrite George Bernard Shaw aptly replied: "Never mind tributes - play his music."
