Benjamin Britten
(1913-1976)
B. Britten was a famous English composer. He was a good pianist and conductor too. Britten was a vice-president of the peace organization of musicians. I think that he was an outstanding person because he did not only write music but he took an active part in the struggle for peace.
He wrote music mainly for voices, including operas, for example, Peter Grimes and his very famous musical work: the War Requiem. It was in 1962 but, it is popular now too.
