Anthony Burgess Wilson (25 February 1917 – November 22, 1993), an English writer and composer, was born in Dublin, England. Although Burgess was primarily a comic writer, his dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange remains his best-known book.
It was turned into a highly controversial film by Stanley Kubrick in 1971, which Burgess said was primarily responsible for the book's success.
Burgess has written several other books, including the Enderby quartet and Earthly Powers.
He wrote librettos and screenplays, including the 1977 TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth.
He served as a literary critic for many newspapers, including The Observer and The Guardian, and he wrote about classic writers, including James Joyce.
Burgess taught phonetics, translated Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex, and the opera Carmen, among other things. Burgess has written over 250 musical works; he regarded himself as much a composer as an author, although he had much more success in writing.
Life in music
Burgess, a talented guitarist, played often throughout his life, and once said: 'Arrival's live shows the following lyrics: 'I'm a boy's.'
During his lifetime on BBC Radio, several of his works were broadcast. Symphony No. 1 is his own composition. In 1975, the University of Iowa orchestra premiered a 3 in C. Burgess characterized his Sinfoni Melayu as an effort to "combine the musical elements of the country [Malaya] into a single word that called on native drums and xylophones." Napoleon Symphony: A Novel in Four Movements (1974) was based on Beethoven's Eroica symphony, while Mozart and the Wolf Gang (1991) mimics Mozart's composition's sound and rhythm, among other things attempting to create a fictional representation of Symphony No. 76. 40.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 is no. 1. In A Clockwork Orange (and in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of the novel), 9 plays a central role. Several of his unpublished compositions are included in This Man and Music. As his son played the guitar, he wrote a good deal of music for recorder. Several of his sonata No.'s works for recorder and piano, including the Sonata No.'s. On a major CD release from recorder John Turner and pianist Harvey Davies, Sonatina and "Tre Pezzetti" are included; the double album also features excerpts from 15 other composers and is titled Anthony Burgess – The Man and his Music.
Burgess based his translation of Meilhac and Halévy's libretto to Bizet's Carmen, which was performed by the English National Opera, on Broadway, and also wrote for Cyrano's 1973 Broadway musical Cyrano, based on his own interpretation of the original Rostand play. He founded Blooms of Dublin, an opera based on James Joyce's Ulysses (televised for the BBC), and wrote a libretto for Weber's Oberon, which was performed by the Glasgow-based Scottish Opera.
Burgess chose "Rejoice in the Lord Alway" as his favorite music on the BBC's Desert Island Discs radio show in 1966; Bach's Goldberg Variations No. Symphony No. 13 by Elgar No. 13; Elgar's Symphony No. 1; 1 in A-flat Major; Wagner's "Walter's Trial Song" from Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg; Debussy's "Fêtes" from Nocturnes; Lambert's Symphony No. 1; Walton's Symphony No. 1 in B-flat minor; and Vaughan Williams' On Wenlock Edge.
