Birtwistle, Sir Harrison (Paul)
- Birtwistle, Sir Harrison (Paul)
-
British composer.
He began as a clarinetist, shifting to composition in his 20s. He cofounded the Pierrot Players with Peter Maxwell
Davies (1967) but felt limited by the group's size. He concentrated on exploring large-scale time structures; his music's form is controlled by complex cyclical principles that he declined to discuss. His works include the theatre pieces
Punch and Judy (1966–67),
The Mask of Orpheus (1973–86), and
Gawain (1991), and the orchestral works
The Triumph of Time (1972),
Silbury Air (1977), and
Secret Theatre (1984).
