After graduating from London's Royal College of Music under the leadership of Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Charles Villiers Stanford , White returned to Scotland at the earliest opportunity. In 1931 , he led the BBC music broadcast in Scotland; in this position, he, among other things, made a decisive contribution to the creation of the BBC Scottish Orchestra in 1935 , and in 1946 decided to concentrate fully on the conducting field and headed the orchestra as the main conductor (holding this post almost until his death).
White's composer legacy is great and diverse. It includes three operas - Komala, The Forge and The Tale of the Shepherds , three ballets of which Donald of the Burthens produced the most resonance. in 1951 , at the Covent Garden Theater , thanks to the inclusion of bagpipes in the symphony orchestra. In addition, White owns piano, violin and cello concerts, a number of overtures, preludes, marches, suites (including those representing symphonic arrangements of Scottish folk dance music), three string quartets and other chamber and vocal music.
