Robin Field

Robin Field (1935 - 2024) was born in Redditch, Worcestershire. He studied composition and theory privately with HP Allen in Worcester, James Murray Brown in London and Durham and Thomas Pitfield in Manchester. He composed music steadily since boyhood, in spite of circumstances directing him into the unmusical world of industrial chemistry.

Compositions include chamber music, choral and orchestral works, songs, two film scores and piano music. In 1971 he won a national composers' competition organised by North West Arts with a Fantasia Concertante for oboe and string orchestra. His works have been performed in the UK and in various other countries.

A fruitful partnership developed with the Italian Duo Lombardi, for whom he wrote two works for flute and guitar, which they performed widely on their European tours.

Robin lived in the Lake District since 1962, and when retired from industry, was able to devote more time to composition and his other interest of finding and cutting precious stones.
