Some others kiwi inventions of interest: John Britten and his motorbike of same name.

Benjamin Britten could be a great composer and sexually attracted to youg boys.

I heard his Canto for Benjamin Britten on the radio the other day by chance.

He wrote that piece after learning about Benjamin Britten and being absolutely delighted by his work, only to then find out he passed away shortly before.

When I was at school and revising for exams I used to listen to a lot of classical music, mainly Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Elgar, Britten - I found that it really helped (also The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett).

I think the title is just a play on "A young person's guide to the orchestra" (by Britten).

Arvo Part then referred to this by using bells beautifully in his "Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten"[2].

And recently "In cantus memoriam Benjamin Britten" was used in a movie.

Also Britten's Billy Budd is one of the 2 operas I really love.

Firstly, Benjamin Britten's War Requiem uses bells prominently and to great emotional effect in the first movement, which presages a line in the next movement "What passing bells for these who die as cattle?"[1].

In fact, lots of the great composers were violists: Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Britten, Dvorak, and others.

Other favorites: his setting of the Magnificat, "I am the true vine", "And one of the pharisees", "Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten", his O Antiphons.

It is pretty bad for classical composers - groups together completely unrelated, very different people: I typed Monteverdi and the closest neighbors shown are Scriabin, Britten, Poulenc, Faure, Schubert.
