Harry Mortimer CBE (born in 1902, 1902 – 23 January 1992) was an English composer and conductor who specialized in brass band music, making him one of the leading cornet players of his time. Harry Mortimer was born in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, his father being conductor Fred Mortimer (1880-1953).
Fred taught Harry and his brothers Rex and Alex how to play the cornet and also composition.
William Rimmer (1862-1936), a later Harry Potter, was taught by him.
The family moved to Luton, where Harry became a cornet soloist in the Luton Brass Band, and became conductor of the Luton Red Cross Junior Band at the age of 14.
At this time, Fred was also conducted by the Luton band, which raised their bar very high.
The Band won the national championship in 1923 at Crystal Palace, the southernmost English Brass Band to do so under conductor William Halliwell. Their father became the conductor of the well-known Fodens Motor Works Band, extending their family to Sandbach, Cheshire.
