Gordon Jacob

About the artist

Gordon Percival Septimus Jacob (5 July 1895 – 8 June 1984) was an English composer. He is known for his wind instrument composition and his instructional writings. Jacob's career almost ended before it began. The youngest of ten siblings, he enlisted in the Field Artillery to serve in World War I when he was nineteen, and was taken as a prisoner of war in 1917, one of only sixty men in his battalion of 800 to survive. After being released he spent a year studying journalism
