Len Mullenger Britten-Pears Library INTRODUCTION AND REPUTATION At the same time, his name is a homophone for his country of origin. His country of origin is easy to remember; one recalls the other. This factor may also have contributed to the diaspora of his music: Britten from Britain; Great Britten from Great Britain. Banal or not, this factor played its part alongside the intrinsic qualities and values of the music. His early and sustained brilliance as both a composer and an executant left him the target of those incredulous that both strengths could be found in the same person. The acclaim he enjoyed also bred an uncompromising commitment to his own judgement which may have been viewed as arrogance. His homosexuality remained an alienating factor for those who knew about it during his lifetime. For much of his life the practice of his sexuality was a criminal offence. This necessitated a certain secretiveness although his preferences were well enough known in the musical world. His departure to the U.S.A. in 1939 not to return until 1942 also left the sense of a composer taking refuge from his homeland when it was under real mortal threat.

BENJAMIN BRITTEN (1913-1976) Life Most prolific and most famous English composer of the mid-twentieth century. He was distinguished specifically for his operas and choral works Born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, 22 November 1913 Educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and studied music during his holidays with the noted English composer Frank Bridge As a boy, he entered the Royal College of Music in London, studying composition with John Ireland and piano with Arthur Benjamin and Harold Samuel His operas often called for smaller chamber ensembles instead of the full orchestra. In spite of this he used imaginative orchestral colors. Britten's harmonies and techniques explore the range of many twentieth-century sounds and devices, but his style was largely conservative and eclectic. Operas Paul Bunyan Peter Grimes Rape of Lucretia Albert Herring The Beggar's Opera Let's Make an Opera Billy Budd Gloriana The Turn of the Screw Noye's Fludd (1958) a children's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream Owen Wingrave Death in Venice Choral writing Tended to not conform to tradition patterns by eschewing well-trodden paths, using intimate consort-like instrumental combinations and using unusual choral combinations: trebles only in Ceremony of Carols, mixed chorus and boy's chorus and soloists in Spring Symphony, and men's, women's and boy's voices a cappella in A Boy is Born.

19. Benjamin Britten BENJAMIN BRITTEN A Sketch. Born Benjamin Britten was the foremost Englishcomposer, and ranked among the world's greatest. Athough http://www.boychoirs.org/california/britten002.html

BENJAMIN BRITTEN A Sketch Born in Lowestoft, England, on November 22, 1913; died December 4, 1976 at Aldeburgh, England. Benjamin Britten was the foremost English composer, and ranked among the world's greatest. Athough living in an age of atonality, Britten insisted on creating music with harmonic reference, with the result that he was criticized by theorists and praised and loved by concert-goers. Among his more important works are: the operas "Peter Grimes "The Rape of Lucretia ', "Albert Herring", "The Beggar's Opera", and "Billy Budd"; choral works: Rejoice in the Lamb, Saint Nicolas, Spring Symphony; symphonic works: Simple Symphony, a piano concerto, and a violin concerto. Surely his masterpiece is "A War Requiem", a monumental indictment of war. During the Second World War, Britten's pacifism brought him to the United States, where he remained from the early summer of 1939 until March of 1942. Then, aboard a Swedish cargo boat for more than a month on his return to England, Britten wrote "Hymn to St. Cecilia" for unaccompanied chorus (Opus 27), and "A Ceremony of Carols" for treble voices and harp (Opus 28). No one can deny that Britten has made a major impact on the world of music. Anyone who deals with boychoir learns to appreciate and love his contributions to the small repertoire of the genre.
