Becoming a Composer

Description

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSinger, composer, musician . . . Renaissance Woman of contemporary music.’ – The Observer\nI am a composer. A composer of classical music. Quite honestly I am not quite sure how that happened to a girl born in Belize and brought up in Tottenham . . . It is clear that composing found me. It crept up on me and wouldn’t let me out of its grasp.\nNow a leading international composer and a singer-songwriter, Errollyn Warren is as much at home in jazz and pop as in the classical world. Part memoir, Becoming a Composer offers an intriguing glimpse into the mind and motivation of a composer and covers aspects of Wallen’s sometimes troubled childhood, and her experiences of growing up as a black composer in the UK. It includes a collection of observations, diaries following the progress of new works and essays and seeks to shed light on the way a composer sees and hears the world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\nISBN-13: 9780571370139\n\nPublisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\n\n\nPublication Date: March 12, 2024\n\nPages: 336
