George Fenton (born George Richard Ian Howe; October 19, 1950) is an English composer best known for his work writing film scores and music for television such as for the BBC series "The Blue Planet" and "Planet Earth". == Early career == Fenton was born in London, and attended St Edward's School in Oxford, starting in 1963. He has credited the school's Deputy Director of Music at the time, the late Peter Whitehouse, as an early influence. Fenton is now a Governor of the School. Initially Fenton worked as an actor, getting an early break with a part in Alan Bennett's play ''Forty Years On''. He had some minor success appearing in the film ''Private Road'', the soap opera ''Emmerdale Farm'' and in Alan Bennett's first television play ''A Day Out'' directed by Stephen Frears and broadcast in 1972. Often asked to play a musical instrument in productions, Fenton also tried his hand as a recording artist (taking the Beatles' Maxwell's Silver Hammer into the Swedish charts) and dabbled in band management, before deciding on an early career switch to composition. In 1974 he got his first major commission, as composer and musical director for Peter Gill's theatre production of ''Twelfth Night'' by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. This led to further work in British theatre, composing for productions at: The National Theatre, The Royal Exchange Theatre, The Royal Court, The Riverside Studios, and further compositions for the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the founder and is a member of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA), 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Fenton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
