Sir William Turner Walton OM (29 March 1902 – 8 March 1983) was an English composer. During a sixty-year career, he wrote music in several classical genres and styles, from film scores to opera. His best-known works include Façade, the cantata Belshazzar's Feast, the Viola Concerto and the First Symphony.
Born in Oldham, Lancashire, the son of a musician, Walton was a chorister and then an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford. On leaving the university, he was taken up by the literary Sitwell siblings, who provided him with a home and a cultural education. His earliest work of note was a collaboration with Edith Sitwell, Façade, which at first brought him notoriety as a modernist, but later became a popular ballet score.
In middle age, Walton left Britain and set up home with his young wife Susana on the Italian island of Ischia. By this time, he had ceased to be regarded as a modernist, and some of his compositions of the 1950s were criticised as old-fashioned. His only full-length opera, Troilus and Cressida, was among the works to be so labelled and has made little impact in opera houses. In his last years, his works came back into critical fashion; his later compositions, dismissed by critics at the time of their premieres, were revalued and regarded alongside his earlier works.

Genres: Biography, Drama, History,In musical terms, this work is a landmark of English composition and represents the peak of Walton's symphonic thinking. The two composers in favour in 1930s England were Beethoven and Sibelius, advocated by Constant Lambert in his book Music Ho!. Walton cleverly draws on both sources: the first movement is written in Beethovenian sonata form, and the developmental procedures clearly derive from Beethoven. But within this skeletal frame, the first movement is shot through with smaller Sibelius-like motifs (such as the opening horn call) which run throughout the movement and bind it together. The thematic rigour and shattering emotional power of the movement — and the Symphony as a whole — may be attributed to this unique method of musical construction.

Crown Imperial is an orchestral march by the English composer William Walton. It was first performed at the coronation of King George VI in 1937, and substantially revised in 1963. Walton composed the march originally for performance at the coronation of King Edward VIII, which was scheduled for 12 May 1937. However, Edward abdicated in 1936. The coronation was held on the scheduled day, with Edward's brother George VI being crowned instead.

Catalog number: VIS 201.0127 In this interview, William Ford describes his service as a navigator in the United States Army Air Forces during WWII. He recalls just having come home from church and listening to "One Man's Family" when the broadcast was interrupted to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor and the family spent the rest of the day listening to the radio. Ford had been working at Sears, Roebuck to save money for school, and had completed a year's schooling in California, studying aeronautical engineering. He began work at the Bell Bomber plant at the time they brought the templates in for the B-29. He was first sent to basic training and then selected for training as a weather technician. With some friends, he decided he didn't like the different bases where the weather techs we...

Touch Her Soft Lips and Part from HENRY V (1944) by William Walton. Performed by the 2014 New Jersey All-State Orchestra, Patrick J. Burns, Director. William Walton (1902-1983) was a titan among British composers of the 20th century. Although his output is relatively small, particularly in light of his exceptionally long creative life (130 works composed over a nearly 67-year period), the meticulous craft of his orchestrations and brute force of his musical imagination have secured him a permanent place among the pantheon of great writers of the last century. Walton possessed a lifelong flair for the dramatic, so it stood to reason that he was called on twice by the British Royal Family to compose coronation marches for the installation of new monarchs - Crown Imperial in 1937 for King...

This video is taken from a concert given by the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester, UK) Brass Band at Regent Hall, London on Friday 14th October 2016. The conductor is David Thornton (Senior Tutor in Brass Bands, RNCM). A Wartime Sketchbook (Walton arr. Hindmarsh): During World War II, William Walton, one of the most eminent of British composers, provided music for several films deemed to be of 'national importance'. Scoring Lawrence Olivier's Shakespeare epic Henry V in 1943 was the most substantial of these wartime projects. His role in patriotic films from 1941 and 42 like The Foreman Went to France, Next of Kin, Went the day Well? and The First of the Few was to provide appropriate title music and some underscoring at key moments. Walton extracted the most substantial porti...
