Composer. Born in Oxford. He studied in Paris along with Ravel. Here he also became acquainted with Poulenc, Stravinsky, Milhaud, Honneger and Roussel. In 1936 he met Benjamin Britten with whom he fell in love; although they appear to have had just a platonic relationship. His many works include operas, orchestral and choral pieces.
