Compositor

William Walton

William Turner Walton OM (Oldham, Lancashire, Inglaterra, 29 de Março de 1902 — Ischia, Itália, 8 de Março de 1983) foi um compositor e maestro, inglês que criou bandas sonoras clássicas. Em 1944, inicia a primeira colaboração com o actor e cineasta Laurence Olivier no filme: Henrique V (Henry V) (1944), Hamlet (Hamlet) (1948), Ricardo III (Richard III) (1955) e As Três Irmãs (Three Sisters) (1970). Seu estilo foi influenciado pelas obras de Stravinsky e Prokofiev, bem como música de jazz, e é caracterizada pela vitalidade rítmica. Sua produção inclui obras orquestrais e coral, música de câmara e música cerimonial, bem como a notável produção cinematográfica. Suas primeiras obras, especialmente Edith Sitwell Façade trouxe notoriedade como um modernista mas foi com a orquestra sinfônica e obras como Belshazzar's Feast que ganhou reconhecimento internacional.
