Biography
One of the most influential contemporary British composers, whose works combine seemingly disparate elements: evocations of medieval hymnody, surrealistic depictions of historic figures, and dramatic theatrical effects. He was also a political activist and an avid environmentalist. ~ Mary K. Scanlan, Rovi
