<description>&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN class=correction id=""&gt;Englefield&lt;/SPAN&gt;, Richard &lt;SPAN class=correction id=""&gt;H&lt;/SPAN&gt;. - &lt;/STRONG&gt;born Springfield, Ohio 1937. Studied music very briefly; two piano lessons at age 7 and a Continuing Education piano class at &lt;SPAN class=correction id=""&gt;Univ&lt;/SPAN&gt;. of Buffalo (age 20). Visited chamber orchestras and sat in various sections to learn virtuosity of instruments. Dreamed of symphony composition following a sixth grade book report on the life of Tchaikovsky. Primarily worked in the paper industry in New York (10 years) then as surveyor and high rise construction engineer (15 years). Was a candidate for President of the United States in 1976 and the U. S. Senate in 1982.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;!-- &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Began composition during recovery from serious illness
            in  1993, while Sr. V.P. of Homes &amp;amp; Land Magazine in Atlanta,
            Ga., at age fifty-five. Composed nine symphonies.  &lt;em&gt;Daybreak
            in the Forest (1993), &lt;/em&gt;a tribute to the ending of the Cold War,
            which was featured on the U. S. Information Agency's &amp;quot;Voice
            of America&amp;quot; Radio Broadcast throughout the world (1994), &lt;em&gt;The
            Winterland Symphonic Suite  (1994-1997), &lt;/em&gt; spawned from
            his first childhood recollection, a new fallen snow observed at the
            age of three during the middle of the night and Symphony No. 3-Op.
            46 (1998). During the early part of 2000, Mr. Englefield concluded
            work on &lt;em&gt;Sympony No. 4&lt;/em&gt;. In early March (2002), Mr. Englefield
            completed his &lt;em&gt;Fifth Symphony&lt;/em&gt;. In June, 2002, the London
            Symphony Orchestra recorded his symphonic poems &lt;em&gt;Feasance, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;A
            Sail at Sea &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt; Vistas. &lt;/em&gt; During late September
            of 2001, the Martinu Philharmonic (Czech Republic) recorded Mr. Englefield's &lt;em&gt;4th
            Symphony &lt;/em&gt; and two symphonic poems; &lt;em&gt;Motifs &lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Song
            of Farwell&lt;/em&gt;. The LSO and Martinu recordings have been combined
            on CD. In May (2003) the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra
            (Bratislava, Slovak Republic) recorded his &lt;em&gt;3rd
            Symphony&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Violin
            Concerto&lt;/em&gt;. Simon James, principal violinist for the Seattle Symphony,
            was the featured violinist.  Maestro Kirk Trevor has been the
            conductor for Englefield's  CD recordings.&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Other compositions include &lt;em&gt; Chamber Suite for
  Strings and Flute (1996), Chamber Suite for Woodwinds,
              String Quartet for Cello,  Brass Sextet,  &lt;/em&gt;Jazz
              works including &lt;em&gt;Timpani-tet &lt;/em&gt; for harp, timpani, cello
              and flute &amp;amp; &lt;em&gt;Viclatrom &lt;/em&gt;for vibes, trombone and clarinet;
              twelve piano sonatas, including a concert piece entitled &lt;em&gt;Rhapsody
              on a Weeping Willow&lt;/em&gt;; duet for violin and harp &lt;em&gt;(Quiet
              Pond)&lt;/em&gt;, duets for horns ( &lt;em&gt;Slightly Overcast &amp;amp; die
              Blume), &lt;/em&gt; duet for flutes&lt;em&gt;, &lt;/em&gt; duet for
              violin and viola, duets for harp &lt;em&gt;(Harpeggio
              I and  II); &lt;/em&gt; Two organ solos (1996), a Prelude &amp;amp; Postlude&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;Also,
              eight symphonic poems for full orchestra; &lt;em&gt; A
              Sail at Sea (1997) &lt;/em&gt;which evolved from the composer's fondness
              for sailing and experiences at sea;  &lt;em&gt; Feasance
              (1997) &lt;/em&gt;a brilliant and broadly orchestrated reference to ideals
              and principles required in arenas of public service, including
              a chimed tribute to Princess Diana. The third symphonic poem is
              an Oboe Concerto in F#, which evolves into a concertino grosso
              with various solo and duet arrangements against the full orchestra,
              entitled &lt;em&gt;Chaparral (1998). &lt;/em&gt;A fourth symphonic poem
              ranks high as one of the composer's favorites and is entitled &lt;em&gt;Song
              of Farewell. &lt;/em&gt;His latest tone-poems  were  composed  during
              late of 1998, entitled  &lt;em&gt;Waltzing  Strings, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trill-ogy, &lt;/em&gt; the
              latter featuring a vast array of harmonic trills for the woodwinds
              section. At years end, Mr. Englefield  introduced us to Op.
              52, a vivace  symphonic poem entitled &lt;em&gt;Motifs &lt;/em&gt; that
              whisks us along with great bass arrangements, woodwind and string
              arpeggios, including very rare &amp;quot;motifs&amp;quot;, on toward an
              unusual and beautiful haunting refrain at the close.&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;More recently, Mr. Englefield  rendered a
            tribute to the vistas of White Face Mountain in the Adirondacks in
            upstate New York. The two part piece  was inspired by the unusual
            melodies  heard in compositions by Augusta Read  Thomas,
            who resided near White Face Mtn. &lt;em&gt;The Faces of White Face Mountain &lt;/em&gt; was
            composed in great fun and is said to be folk music of the twentieth
            century. Last year, Mr. Englefield completed his first oratorio,
            The &lt;em&gt;Millennium &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oratorio, &lt;/em&gt; a majestic works having
            six parts for full orchestra, chorus and pipe organ. His latest works
            are three part concertos; &lt;em&gt;Concerto for Violin, Viola and
            Piano&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Concerto for Cello and Orchestra &lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Violin
            Concerto. &lt;/em&gt; Mr. Englefield's &lt;em&gt;Symphony No. 9 &lt;/em&gt; was completed
            during October (2003).&lt;/p&gt; //--&gt;
