Mackenzie was a fluent and intelligent composer who introduced some stylized
Scottish folk elements into his work; the overtures, concertos and dramatic
music are bracing and inventive. Some of his works were championed by
internationally famous soloists, such as Sarasate and Paderewski.
Some principal works:
Operas
- The Troubador (1886)
- His Majesty (1897)
- The Cricket on the Hearth (1900 - has a splendid overture)
- The Knights of the Road (1905)
Cantatas
- The Rose of Sharon (1884)
- The Witches’ Daughter (1904)
- The Sun-God’s Return (1910)

- Incidental music to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (1883) and Coriolanus (1901)

From a musical family, studied at Sondershausen in Germany and later at the
Royal Academy of Music, London. 1865-79 was active in Scotland as a violinist
and teacher, 1879-1888 lived partly in Italy. From 1888 to 1924 was Principal
of the Royal Academy of Music, and from 1892 conducted the Philharmonic Society
of London (conducted first British performance of Tchaikovsky’s Sixth
Symphony). He was knighted in 1895; KCVO (Knight Commander of the Victorian
Order), 1922. His Autobiography, A Musician’s Narrative (published 1927), is quite interesting.
