Christopher Kaye Le Fleming (26 February 1908 – 19 June 1985) was an English composer of choral music, pianist, teacher and administrator.
[2] Nevertheless he sung in the Minster Choir (where Edmund Fellowes was a canon), began learning piano and studied at the Brighton School of Music.
But he performed the Schumann A minor Concerto under Dan Godfrey in Bournemouth and studied informally with Vaughan Williams, who remained a lifelong friend.
He then continued his education at the Royal School of Church Music in London while studying piano with George Reeves (c1900-1960).
38 (1966), consisting of three motets for six-part chorus, represents "a distillation of all Le Fleming's choral concerns: clarity of line and diction and a diatonic harmonic idiom inflected by chromatic parallelism".
[3] His piano transcriptions of Bach and Johann Strauss (including The Blue Danube) have also remained popular.
