    Extractions: Detailed Information about Introduction (born Lowestoft, 22 November 1913; died Aldeburgh, 4 December 1976). He studied with Frank Bridge as a boy and in 1930 entered the RCM. In 1934 he heard Wozzeck and planned to study with Berg , but opposition at home stopped him. The next year he began working for the GPO Film Unit, where one of his collaborators was Auden: together they worked on concert works as well, Auden's social criticism being matched by a sharply satirical and virtuoso musical style (orchestral song cycle Our Hunting Fathers Stravinsky and Mahler were important influences, but Britten's effortless technique gave his early music a high personal definition, notably shown in orchestral works (Bridge Variations for strings, 1937; Piano Concerto, 1938; Violin Concerto, 1939) and songs ( Les illuminations , setting Rimbaud for high voice and strings, 1939). In 1939 he left England for the USA, with his lifelong companion Peter Pears; there he wrote his first opera, to Auden's libretto (

    Extractions: Benjamin Britten must be accepted as the most outstanding English composer working in the mid-20th century, winning a significant international reputation, while remaining thoroughly English in inspiration, a feat his immediate predecessors had been unable fully to achieve. Operas Britten won a triumph in 1945 with his opera Peter Grimes, first staged when the Sadler's Wells in London re-opened after the 1939-1945 war. The aspirations of the central character, the fisherman Peter Grimes, a man at odds with the community in which he lives, are frustrated by a combination of social pressure and sheer chance, leading to the suicide of the protagonist. The drama is set against the background of the sea, in various moods, summarised in the Four Sea Interludes that form an evocative part of concert repertoire. Britten's subsequent operas, including the Church Parables that draw inspiration from Japan and the remarkable operatic version of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, Britten's last opera, constitute a very significant element in dramatic and operatic repertoire.

C'est le 4 décembre 1976 que la mort, injuste et bien peu mélomane finalement, arracha Britten à ce qui était devenu pour lui une mission absolue : noircir des partitions.

    Extractions: Britten was born, by happy coincidence, on St. Cecilia's Day, at the family home in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England. His father was a dentist. He was the youngest of four children, with a brother, Robert (1907), and two sisters, Barbara (1902) and Beth (1909). He was educated locally, and studied, first, piano, and then, later, viola, from private teachers. He began to compose as early as 1919, and after about 1922, composed steadily until his death. At a concert in 1927, conducted by composer Frank Bridge, he met Bridge, later showed him several of his compositions, and ultimately Bridge took him on as a private pupil. After two years at Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk, he entered the Royal College of Music in London (1930) where he studied composition with John Ireland and piano with Arthur Benjamin. During his stay at the RCM he won several prizes for his compositions. He completed a choral work, A Boy was Born, in 1933; at a rehearsal for a broadcast performance of the work by the BBC Singers, he met tenor Peter Pears, the beginning of a lifelong personal and professional relationship. (Many of Britten's solo songs, choral and operatic works feature the tenor voice, and Pears was the designated soloist at many of their premieres.) From about 1935 until the beginning of World War II, Britten did a great deal of composing for the GPO Film Unit, for BBC Radio, and for small, usually left-wing, theater groups in London. During this period he met and worked frequently with the poet W. H. Auden who provided texts for numerous songs as well as complete scripts for which Britten provided incidental music.

    Extractions: Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net RIPE FOR REASSESSMENT? Benjamin Britten, 1913-1976 By Roy Brewer Will this year's 25th anniversary of Britten's death lead to a wider recognition of his place as the most important figure in the younger generation of twentieth century English composers? I am cautiously optimistic, though if it does it will be long overdue. There will of course be the usual tributes and, one hopes, more opportunities to hear his less-frequently-performed works; but a broader based, more mature understanding of the music itself could take longer, for Britten never got under the skin of the public as did such conspicuously "English" composers as Elgar and Vaughan Williams. This should not be surprising, for even among his contemporaries Britten was a somewhat enigmatic figure, and not easily pigeonholed. Furthermore, Britten was an obsessively private man, and if the hour-and-a-half television documentary, Benjamin Britten: the Hidden Heart (29 July, Channel 4) is anything to go by, we are unlikely to find out much more about him since it concentrated almost entirely on his homosexuality with brief nods towards

It’s an enterprising juxtaposition of works, none of them hard on the ear, Benjamin’s rather exotic (complete with glockenspiel in its scherzo) three-movement Romantic Fantasy having strong reminiscences of Mahler’s end-of-the-century Fourth Symphony at various points throughout. The work was intended for Tertis but he chose to retire from the concert platform just as the composition was completed, nevertheless William Primrose, with violinist Heifetz, made a more than worthy substitute on 24 May 1938 in London, where it was played for the first time.

Julian Anderson Malcolm Arnold George Benjamin Michael Daugherty Carl Davis Jonathan Harvey Colin Matthews David Matthews Nicholas Maw Dominic Muldowney Oliver Knussen Peter Sculthorpe Carl Vine Vaughan Williams John Woolrich Benjamin Britten BIOGRAPHY DISCOGRAPHY PERFORMANCE WORKS FOR HIRE WORKS FOR SALE His music is not always directly and immediately open; the emotions lie inside, so gentle, so lyrical, and yet so powerful as it reaches the heart of the listener. I am sure that Britten's time is not yet come; his greatness is not yet realised in full measure by the world. But his time is coming, like that of Mahler and Shostakovich before him. Mstislav Rostropovich Biography BACK TO MENU Twenty years after his death, we have a more complete picture of Benjamin Britten as a composer than during his lifetime. Works from his youth and works that he suppressed have been played and published; the late music can now be seen as a distinct phase, in some ways as forward looking and as influential as Stravinsky's. Above all, Britten's central place in the history of 20th-century music seems more and more assured. He is one of very few composers born this century whose whole output - from operas to solo pieces - has gained a secure place in the repertoire. Britten was born into a middle-class family in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on 22 November 1913. His mother encouraged him to learn the piano and the viola, and to compose; by the age of fourteen he had written over 100 works. Little of this abundant juvenilia has so far been heard, but Britten himself selected
