[3] Returning home in 1893, he became associated with the Queen's Hall which Robert Newman (an old family friend) had helped to build in 1893 and put on the first series of Promenade Concerts there in 1895.

[4] Pitt took over as accompanist at Queen's Hall in 1896[5] and accompanied the sung solo items at the first of Henry Wood's Prom concerts in August 1897.

Henry Wood gave the first performances of most of his major works after 1896, starting with the Coronation March and the miniature suite Fêtes galantes that year.

[11] His G minor Sinfonietta (or Symphony) was written at the request of Hans Richter, who conducted it at the 1906 Birmingham Triennial Music Festival.

One of his biggest successes as a composer came with the song Sérénade du passant (1913), performed by Luisa Tetrazzini at her first Queen's Hall appearance in 1917.
