George Fenton (born 19 October 1950) is a British composer best known for his work writing film scores and music for television, although he also writes music for the theatre. His real name is George Howe but he is better known by his pseudonym of George Fenton.
Fenton has composed the score for over seventy feature films. This is a small selection of his film and television credits.
For a comprehensive filmography see the George Fenton's Internet Movie Database (IMDb) entry link in External links.
Fenton was born George Richard Ian Howe 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.
Cannot touch
Cannot hold
Cannot be together
Cannot love
Cannot kiss
Cannot have each other
Must be strong,
And we must let go
Cannot say
What our hearts must know
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
Cannot dream
Cannot share
Sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel
How we feel
Must pretend it's over
Must be brave,
And we must go on
Must not say,
What we've known all along
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
How can I not love you.
Must be brave,
And we must be strong
Cannot say,
What we've known all along.
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
How can I not love you.
