Christopher Montague Edmunds (26 November 1899 – 2 January 1990) was an English composer, academic and organist who lived and worked in Birmingham.
But he also composed widely for the choral festival movement in the 1920s and 1930s, and produced two significant works foreshadowing the war: the B minor Piano Sonata and the Symphony No 2.
[6] Lewis Foreman has called the Second Symphony "a notable example of music responding to the challenges of the war in 1939 and 1940".
[7] The first complete performance, with the BBC Northern Orchestra conducted by Julius Harrison, was broadcast in April 1944.
