Felix Godin, a pseudonym of Henry Albert Brown ( c. 1864 – 1925), was an English composer of light music. He is best known for his elegiac Valse Septembre, a light waltz written in 1909. [1]
The waltz, which is composed in four movements, begins slow with the first melody, then after being repeated once opens into the upbeat main melody, followed by a slower third movement, and then repeating the first melody, following with a brief fourth melody, then concludes repeating the previous melodies with a finale.
The waltz was popular in the early 20th century; however, it virtually disappeared from the public eye for the latter half of the century. The waltz however regained some interest when it was featured several times in the 1997 film Titanic. [1]
