Frederick Rosse was a British composer and conductor who lived from 1867 to 1940. He was born in London to a family of musicians, and his father was a well-known conductor and composer. Rosse showed an early interest in music and began studying piano and composition at a young age. Rosse's musical education continued at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied composition with Frederick Corder and piano with Tobias Matthay. He also studied conducting with Henry Wood, who would later become a close friend and collaborator. After completing his studies, Rosse began his career as a conductor, leading orchestras in London and throughout Europe. He also continued to compose, and his works were performed by some of the leading orchestras of the day. One of Rosse's most notable works is his Symphony No. 1, which was premiered in 1902 by the Hallé Orchestra in Manchester. The symphony is a large-scale work that showcases Rosse's skill as a composer and his ability to create powerful and emotional music. Another notable work by Rosse is his opera, The Piper of Hamelin, which was premiered in 1910.

He taught at the Royal Academy of Music and was known for his ability to inspire and encourage young musicians. Throughout his career, Rosse remained dedicated to the art of classical music and worked tirelessly to promote and advance the genre.
