A composer of classical music. Quite honestly I am not quite sure how that happened to a girl born in Belize and brought up in Tottenham . . . It is clear that composing found me. It crept up on me and wouldn't let me out of its grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow a leading international composer and a singer-songwriter, Errollyn Wallen is as much at home in jazz and pop as in the classical world. Part memoir, Becoming a Composer offers an intriguing glimpse into the mind and motivation of a composer and covers aspects of Wallen's sometimes troubled childhood, and her experiences of growing up as a black composer in the UK. It includes a collection of observations, diaries following the progress of new works and essays and seeks to shed light on the way a composer sees and hears the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55486671552885,"sku":"9780571370146","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780571370146_9ee8c408-5504-4397-9747-5e8feb0fc1f6.jpg?v=1759666235","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780571370146","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
