Richard Causton (born 1971) is an English composer and teacher. ==Biography== Born in London, Richard Causton attended Quintin Kynaston School and William Ellis Schools. His early musical education took place at the ILEA Centre for Young Musicians, specialising in flute (though also playing piano and singing in choirs). Causton began his formal composition training in India under the direction of Param Vir, before studying for a bachelor's degree at the University of York under Roger Marsh between 1990 and 1993. Having graduated with first-class honours, he took an M.A in composition the following year. He also undertook a Foundation Scholarship at the Royal College of Music, studying composition under Jeremy Dale Roberts and conducting under Edwin Roxburgh. In 1997, receipt of the Mendelssohn Scholarship enabled him to study electro-acoustic composition at the Scuola Civica di Musica. He has subsequently gone on to forge a consistent and productive career as a freelance composer and arranger. As well as composing, Causton now teaches at the Birmingham Conservatoire (alongside his former teacher Edwin Roxburgh and other eminent figures such as Howard Skempton) and at Wells Cathedral School. He has previously held positions as a composition teacher at the Royal College of Music, and as Fellow Commoner in the Creative Arts at Trinity College Cambridge, and is currently a lecturer in musical composition at Cambridge and a fellow of King's College. Causton founded the Royal College of Music Gamelan Programme. He is also a founding member of Ensemble Corrente, and has been a panel judge for the SPNM (Society for the Promotion of New Music) composers shortlist.〔(Oxford University Press listing for Richard Causton ), accessed 22 April 2009〕 He occasionally writes feature articles on contemporary music for ''The Guardian'' newspaper.〔('Music Of The Spheres' ) - article by Richard Causton in ''The Guardian'', June 29, 2001 - accessed April 23, 2009〕〔('The God Of Small Things' ) - article by Richard Causton in ''The Guardian'', May 28, 2004 - accessed April 23, 2009〕 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「Richard Causton (composer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
