Twentieth century English composer Eric Coates (1886-1957) began as a violist. Loss of feeling and strength in his left arm led him into composition and he became known as Britain's "uncrowned king of light music." He also wrote for films, including The Dam Busters. Orchestral works include The Eighth Army March. Among his noted songs is By the Sleepy Lagoon.
