20th century British Light Music has always been divided between serious classical composers, such as Cecil Armstrong Gibbs, who also wrote Light Music, and those whose careers were devoted exclusively to this genre, George Melachrino being one of the more famous names. From a later generation, John Rutter, known principally for modern sacred works, and David Lyon are at home in both genres, while Peter Dodd and Roy Douglas devote themselves to writing readily attractive orchestral miniatures.
