  • Billy Budd Composer Biography: Benjamin Britten
    Billy Budd Composer Biography: Benjamin Britten 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.

  • Guidelines for the Commissioning of Music for BBC Programmes
    Guidelines for the commissioning of music for BBC programmes 1. The Music Copyright section of the BBC’s Talent Rights Negotiation Group is responsible for negotiating terms and issuing contracts for all music commissioned by the BBC for its in-house productions. 2. BBC departments requiring specially commissioned music are encouraged to contact Music Copyright at the earliest opportunity in order that negotiations can be concluded and a contract issued/signed prior to the composer commencing work. 3. Payment schedules may vary from contract to contract, but full payment for commissioned work should be made at the point at which the work is completed, i.e. once Music Copyright receive appropriate notification to this effect from the area concerned. 4. The decision regarding which composer to contract is entirely the responsibility of individual BBC programme makers. 5. Music Copyright offer advice regarding the choice of composer when required, given its extensive knowledge of composers working in television, radio and film. A number of composers may be suggested, the selection being determined solely by the needs of an individual production. 6. Music Copyright will usually negotiate a package deal fee with a composer or their agent. This is a fully inclusive deal that encompasses all the relevant elements associated with the making of a sound master. A package deal may typically include the composition fee, scoring, copying, studio costs, electronic realisation, musician/vocalist fees, fixing, porterage and doubling. 7. Musicians and vocalists will be contracted separately via the BBC Talent Rights Negotiation Group. This is to ensure that the appropriate contracts are used.
