Britten’s other works range from orchestral to choral, solo vocal, chamber and instrumental as well as film mu- sic. He took a great interest in writing music for chil- dren and amateur performers, including the opera Noye’s Fludde, a Missa Brevis, and the song collection Friday Af- ternoons. He often composed with particular performers in mind. His most frequent and important muse was his personal and professional partner, the tenor Peter Pears; others included Kathleen Ferrier, Jennifer Vyvyan, Janet Baker, Dennis Brain, Julian Bream, Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau and Mstislav Rostropovich. Britten was a cel- ebrated pianist and conductor, performing many of his own works in concert and on record. He also per- formed and recorded works by others, such as Bach's Brandenburg concertos, Mozart symphonies, and song cy- cles by Schubert and Schumann. Together with Pears and the librettist and producer Eric Crozier, Britten founded the annual Aldeburgh Festival in 1948, and he was responsible for the creation of Snape Maltings concert hall in 1967. In his last year, he was the first composer to be given a life peerage.

At sixteen Britten won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music and so left Gresham’s for London, where he shared a flat with his sister Beth. He studied composition with John Ireland, whom he admired but often found difficult to work with, and piano with the genial Arthur Benjamin. Although the training he received was a useful supplement to his work with Bridge he was frustrated by a perceived lack of interest in the kind of music that he wished to write. From these three years at the College come his String Quartet in D major (1931), the Phantasy in F minor for string quintet, the Sinfonietta op.1 for chamber orchestra, Phantasy op. 2 for oboe, violin, viola Benjamin Britten photo © Angus McBean and cello (all 1932) and the choral variations for unaccompanied voices A Boy was Born op.3 (1933). __1934-1936__ A Boy was Born was broadcast by the __A survey of Benjamin Britten's Life and Works__ Text © courtesy of the BBC in February 1934, gaining Britten recognition in musical circles as a Britten-Pears Library __1913-1919__ Edward Benjamin Britten was born in composer of so much promise that his Phantasy op. 2 was chosen by the the East Suffolk town of Lowestoft in 1913 on 22 November, the feast of Saint International Society for Contemporary Music for performance at their Festival Cecilia, patron saint of music.

Critics praised Grimes for its realization of many aesthetic ideals of the traditional canon of opera, including musical depiction of character, innovation, and unification of music and drama. Subsequent English operas, however, failed to achieve the same success. Ralph Vaughan Williams‘s The Pilgrim’s Progress and Britten‘s Gloriana, especially, became subjects of critical disapproval. Scholars have examined the reception histories of these operas, but none has attempted to show a connection between them. This thesis explores the ways in which the success of Peter Grimes affected the reception of The Pilgrim’s Progress and Gloriana. Reviews in English newspapers, magazines, and journals serve as the primary sources for this investigation. Expressly, critics found fault with the characterization, originality, and integration of The Pilgrim’s Progress and Gloriana, i.e., the very same areas in which Grimes had excelled.

WMany enterprising organists and choir directors are seeking ways to keep their choirs together via Zoom and other platforms, although those of you who have tried singing together in this way will have probably dissolved into fits of giggles before the end of the first line of music! Perhaps some of you will have taken this opportunity to listen to more music, perhaps exploring repertoire and performances you have been meaning to listen to but have always managed to be distracted by other things. Some may well have started to use this time to do some research, even to study for a diploma or some award. Patrons: Rt Revd & Rt Hon Dr Richard Chartres, former Lord Bishop of London The Guild has lots of avenues to explore if that is your intention and I can do no more than encourage you all to Professor Dr Ian Tracey, Organist Titulaire of Liverpool Cathedral visit our new Guild website at www.gcm.org.uk. We are indebted to Ken Cope who has worked tirelessly Dame Patricia Routledge, internationally renowned soprano & actress to get our new site up and going.
