He was active into his 90s.</figcaption></figure> Sir Michael Kemp Tippett <a href="/wiki/Companion_of_Honour" class="mw-redirect" title="Companion of Honour">CH</a> <a href="/wiki/Commander_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Commander of the Order of the British Empire">CBE</a> (2 January 1905 – 8 January 1998) was an English composer who rose to prominence during and immediately after the Second World War. In his lifetime he was sometimes ranked with his contemporary <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Britten" title="Benjamin Britten">Benjamin Britten</a> as one of the leading British composers of the 20th century. Among his best-known works are the <a href="/wiki/Oratorio" title="Oratorio">oratorio</a> <a href="/wiki/A_Child_of_Our_Time" title="A Child of Our Time">A Child of Our Time</a>, the orchestral <a href="/wiki/Fantasia_Concertante_on_a_Theme_of_Corelli" title="Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli">Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli</a>, and the opera <a href="/wiki/The_Midsummer_Marriage" title="The Midsummer Marriage">The Midsummer Marriage</a>. Tippett's talent developed slowly. He withdrew or destroyed his earliest compositions, and was 30 before any of his works were published. Until the mid-to-late 1950s his music was broadly lyrical in character, before changing to a more astringent and experimental style. New influences—including those of <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a> and <a href="/wiki/Blues" title="Blues">blues</a> after his first visit to America in 1965—became increasingly evident in his compositions. While Tippett's stature with the public continued to grow, not all critics approved of these changes in style, some believing that the quality of his work suffered as a consequence. From around 1976 his late works began to reflect the works of his youth through a return to lyricism. Although he was much honoured in his lifetime, critical judgement on Tippett's legacy has been uneven, the greatest praise generally reserved for his earlier works. His centenary in 2005 was a muted affair; apart from the few best-known works, his music has not been performed frequently in the 21st century. Having briefly embraced <a href="/wiki/Communism#Other_communisms" title="Communism">communism</a> in the 1930s, Tippett avoided identifying with any political party. A pacifist after 1940, he was imprisoned in 1943 for refusing to carry out war-related duties required by his military exemption. His initial difficulties in accepting his homosexuality led him in 1939 to <a href="/wiki/Carl_Jung" title="Carl Jung">Jungian</a> psychoanalysis; the Jungian dichotomy of "<a href="/wiki/Shadow_(psychology)" title="Shadow (psychology)">shadow</a>" and "light" remained a recurring factor in his music. He was a strong advocate of <a href="/wiki/Music_education" title="Music education">music education</a>, and was active for much of his life as a radio broadcaster and writer on music. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life">Life</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Life">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Family_background">Family background</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Family background">edit</a>]</div> The Tippett family originated in <a href="/wiki/Cornwall" title="Cornwall">Cornwall</a>. Michael Tippett's grandfather, George Tippett, left the county in 1854 to make his fortune in London through property speculation and other business schemes. A flamboyant character, he had a strong tenor voice that was a popular feature at Christian revivalist meetings. In later life his business enterprises faltered, leading to debts, prosecution for fraud, and a term of imprisonment. His son Henry, born in 1858, was Michael's father. A lawyer by training, he was successful in business and was independently wealthy by the time of his marriage in April 1903.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> Unusually for his background and upbringing, Henry Tippett was a progressive liberal and a religious sceptic.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Henry Tippett's bride was <a href="/w/index.php?title=Isabel_Kemp&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Isabel Kemp (page does not exist)">Isabel Kemp</a>, from a large <a href="/wiki/Upper_middle_class" title="Upper middle class">upper-middle-class</a> family based in <a href="/wiki/Kent" title="Kent">Kent</a>.

Despard was a powerful influence on the young Isabel, who was herself briefly imprisoned after participating in an illegal suffragette protest in <a href="/wiki/Trafalgar_Square" title="Trafalgar Square">Trafalgar Square</a>. Though neither she nor Henry was musical, she had inherited an artistic talent from her mother, who had exhibited at the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Academy" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Academy">Royal Academy</a>.

Michael's education began in 1909 with a nursery governess and various private tutors who followed a curriculum that included piano lessons—his first formal contact with music.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> There was a piano in the house, on which he "took to improvising crazily ... which I called 'composing', though I had only the vaguest notion of what that meant".<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> In September 1914 Michael became a boarder at Brookfield Preparatory School in <a href="/wiki/Swanage" title="Swanage">Swanage</a>, Dorset. He spent four years there, at one point earning notoriety by writing an essay that challenged the existence of God.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-odnb-7">[7]</a> In 1918 he won a scholarship to <a href="/wiki/Fettes_College" title="Fettes College">Fettes College</a>, a boarding school in Edinburgh, where he studied the piano, sang in the choir, and began to learn to play the pipe organ. The school was not a happy place; sadistic bullying of the younger pupils was commonplace.<a href="#cite_note-Bowen16-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-K9-9">[9]</a> When Michael revealed to his parents in March 1920 that he had formed a homosexual relationship with another boy, they removed him to <a href="/wiki/Stamford_School" title="Stamford School">Stamford School</a> in Lincolnshire, where a decade previously <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Sargent" title="Malcolm Sargent">Malcolm Sargent</a> had been a pupil.<a href="#cite_note-Tippett8-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-odnb2-11">[11]</a> Around this time Henry Tippett decided to live in France, and the house in Wetherden was sold. The 15-year-old Michael and his brother Peter remained at school in England, travelling to France for their holidays.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Michael found Stamford much more congenial than Fettes, and developed both academically and musically. He found an inspiring piano teacher in Frances Tinkler, who introduced him to the music of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Chopin.<a href="#cite_note-K9-9">[9]</a> Sargent had maintained his connection with the school, and was present when Tippett and another boy played Bach's C minor Concerto for Two Harpsichords on pianos with a local string orchestra. Tippett sang in the chorus when Sargent directed a local performance of <a href="/wiki/Robert_Planquette" title="Robert Planquette">Robert Planquette</a>'s operetta <a href="/wiki/Les_Cloches_de_Corneville" class="mw-redirect" title="Les Cloches de Corneville">Les Cloches de Corneville</a>.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Despite his parents' wish that he follow an orthodox path by proceeding to <a href="/wiki/Cambridge_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Cambridge University">Cambridge University</a>, Tippett had firmly decided on a career as a composer, a prospect that alarmed them and was discouraged by his headmaster and by Sargent.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp12-14">[14]</a> By mid-1922 Tippett had developed a rebellious streak. His overt atheism particularly troubled the school, and he was required to leave. He remained in Stamford in private lodgings, while continuing lessons with Tinkler and with the organist of <a href="/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Church,_Stamford" title="St Mary's Church, Stamford">St Mary's Church</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp12-14">[14]</a> He also began studying <a href="/wiki/Charles_Villiers_Stanford" title="Charles Villiers Stanford">Charles Villiers Stanford</a>'s book Musical Composition, which, he later wrote, "became the basis of all my compositional efforts for decades to come".<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> In 1923 Henry Tippett was persuaded that some form of musical career, perhaps as a concert pianist, was possible, and agreed to support his son in a course of study at the <a href="/wiki/Royal_College_of_Music" title="Royal College of Music">Royal College of Music</a> (RCM). After an interview with the college principal, <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Allen_(conductor)" title="Hugh Allen (conductor)">Sir Hugh Allen</a>, Tippett was accepted despite his lack of formal entry qualifications.<a href="#cite_note-odnb-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kemp12-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Royal_College_of_Music">Royal College of Music</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Royal College of Music">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg/220px-Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg/330px-Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg/440px-Royal_College_of_Music_-_April_2007.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4748" data-file-height="3101" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Royal_College_of_Music" title="Royal College of Music">Royal College of Music</a>, where Tippett studied between 1923 and 1928</figcaption></figure> Tippett began at the RCM in the summer term of 1923, when he was 18 years old. At the time, his biographer <a href="/w/index.php?title=Meirion_Bowen&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Meirion Bowen (page does not exist)">Meirion Bowen</a> records, "his aspirations were Olympian, though his knowledge rudimentary".<a href="#cite_note-Bowen18-17">[17]</a> Life in London widened his musical awareness, especially <a href="/wiki/The_Proms" class="mw-redirect" title="The Proms">the Proms</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Queen%27s_Hall" title="Queen's Hall">Queen's Hall</a>, opera at <a href="/wiki/Covent_Garden" title="Covent Garden">Covent Garden</a> (where he saw <a href="/wiki/Dame_Nellie_Melba" class="mw-redirect" title="Dame Nellie Melba">Dame Nellie Melba</a>'s farewell performance in <a href="/wiki/La_boh%C3%A8me" title="La bohème">La bohème</a>) and the <a href="/wiki/Ballets_Russes" title="Ballets Russes">Diaghilev Ballet</a>. He heard <a href="/wiki/Feodor_Chaliapin" title="Feodor Chaliapin">Chaliapin</a> sing, and attended concerts conducted by, among others, <a href="/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky" title="Igor Stravinsky">Stravinsky</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Ravel" title="Maurice Ravel">Ravel</a>—the last-named "a tiny man who stood bolt upright and conducted with what to me looked like a pencil".<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Tippett overcame his initial ignorance of early music by attending <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Pierluigi_da_Palestrina" title="Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina">Palestrina</a> masses at <a href="/wiki/Westminster_Cathedral" title="Westminster Cathedral">Westminster Cathedral</a>, following the music with the help of a borrowed score.<a href="#cite_note-Bowen18-17">[17]</a> At the RCM, Tippett's first composition tutor was <a href="/wiki/Charles_Wood_(composer)" title="Charles Wood (composer)">Charles Wood</a>, who used the models of Bach, <a href="/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" title="Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart">Mozart</a> and Beethoven to instil a solid understanding of musical forms and syntax. When Wood died in 1926, Tippett chose to study with <a href="/wiki/Charles_Herbert_Kitson" title="Charles Herbert Kitson">C.H. Kitson</a>, whose pedantic approach and lack of sympathy with Tippett's compositional aims strained the relationship between teacher and pupil.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[n 1]</a> Tippett studied conducting with Sargent and <a href="/wiki/Adrian_Boult" title="Adrian Boult">Adrian Boult</a>, finding the latter a particularly empathetic mentor—he let Tippett stand with him on the rostrum during rehearsals and follow the music from the conductor's score.<a href="#cite_note-Bowen18-17">[17]</a> By this means Tippett became familiar with the music of composers then new to him, such as <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Delius" title="Frederick Delius">Delius</a> and <a href="/wiki/Claude_Debussy" title="Claude Debussy">Debussy</a>,<a href="#cite_note-21">[20]</a> and learned much about the sounds of orchestral instruments.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp16-22">[21]</a> In 1924 Tippett became the conductor of an amateur choir in the Surrey village of <a href="/wiki/Oxted" title="Oxted">Oxted</a>. Although he saw this initially as a means of advancing his knowledge of English <a href="/wiki/Madrigals" class="mw-redirect" title="Madrigals">madrigals</a>, his association with the choir lasted many years. Under his direction it combined with a local theatrical group, the Oxted and Limpsfield Players, to give performances of <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Vaughan_Williams" title="Ralph Vaughan Williams">Vaughan Williams</a>'s opera The Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains and of Tippett's own adaptation of an 18th-century ballad opera, <a href="/wiki/The_Village_Opera" title="The Village Opera">The Village Opera</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Gloag49-23">[22]</a> He passed his <a href="/wiki/Bachelor_of_Music" title="Bachelor of Music">Bachelor of Music</a> (BMus) exams, at his second attempt, in December 1928. Rather than continuing to study for a doctorate, Tippett decided to leave the academic environment.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp16-22">[21]</a> The RCM years had brought him intense and lasting friendships with members of both sexes, in particular with <a href="/wiki/Francesca_Allinson" title="Francesca Allinson">Francesca Allinson</a> and David Ayerst.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp16-22">[21]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_career">Early career</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Early career">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="False_start">False start</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: False start">edit</a>]</div> On leaving the RCM, Tippett settled in Oxted to continue his work with the choir and theatrical group and to compose. To support himself he taught French at Hazelwood, a small preparatory school in <a href="/wiki/Limpsfield" title="Limpsfield">Limpsfield</a>, which provided him with a salary of £80 a year and a cottage. Also teaching at the school was <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Fry" title="Christopher Fry">Christopher Fry</a>, the future poet and playwright who later collaborated with Tippett on several of the composer's early works.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp18-24">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> In February 1930 Tippett provided the incidental music for a performance by his theatrical group of <a href="/wiki/James_Elroy_Flecker" title="James Elroy Flecker">James Elroy Flecker</a>'s Don Juan, and in October he directed them in his own adaptation of Stanford's opera The Travelling Companion. His compositional output was such that on 5 April 1930 he gave a concert in Oxted consisting entirely of his own works—a Concerto in D for flutes, oboe, horns and strings; settings for tenor of poems by Charlotte Mew; Psalm in C for chorus and orchestra, with a text by Christopher Fry; piano variations on the song "Jockey to the Fair"; and a string quartet.<a href="#cite_note-Bowen19-26">[25]</a> Professional soloists and orchestral players were engaged, and the concert was conducted by <a href="/wiki/David_Moule-Evans" title="David Moule-Evans">David Moule-Evans</a>, a friend from the RCM. Despite encouraging comments from The Times and the Daily Telegraph, Tippett was deeply dissatisfied with the works, and decided that he needed further tuition. He withdrew the music, and in September 1930 re-enrolled at the RCM for a special course of study in <a href="/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint">counterpoint</a> with <a href="/wiki/R._O._Morris" title="R. O. Morris">R. O. Morris</a>, an expert on 16th-century music. This second RCM period, during which he learned to write <a href="/wiki/Fugue" title="Fugue">fugues</a> in the style of Bach and received additional tuition in orchestration from <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Jacob" title="Gordon Jacob">Gordon Jacob</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Kemp18-24">[23]</a> was central to Tippett's eventual discovery of what he termed his "individual voice".<a href="#cite_note-Gloag49-23">[22]</a> On 15 November 1931 Tippett conducted his Oxted choir in a performance of Handel's <a href="/wiki/Messiah_(Handel)" title="Messiah (Handel)">Messiah</a>, using choral and orchestral forces close to Handel's original intentions. Such an approach was rare at that time, and the event attracted considerable interest.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp18-24">[23]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Friendships,_politics_and_music">Friendships, politics and music</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Friendships, politics and music">edit</a>]</div> In mid-1932 Tippett moved to a cottage in neighbouring Limpsfield, provided by friends as a haven in which he could concentrate on composition.<a href="#cite_note-27">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[n 2]</a> His friendships with Ayerst and Allinson had opened up new cultural and political vistas. Through Ayerst he met <a href="/wiki/W._H._Auden" title="W. H. Auden">W. H. Auden</a>, who in due course introduced him to <a href="/wiki/T._S._Eliot" title="T. S. Eliot">T. S. Eliot</a>. Although no deep friendship developed with either poet, Tippett came to consider Eliot his "spiritual father".<a href="#cite_note-Kemp,_p._33-30">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-Bowen21-31">[29]</a> Ayerst also introduced him to a young artist, <a href="/wiki/Wilfred_Franks" title="Wilfred Franks">Wilfred Franks</a>. By this time Tippett was coming to terms with his homosexuality, while not always at ease with it. Franks provided him with what he called "the deepest, most shattering experience of falling in love".<a href="#cite_note-32">[30]</a> This intense relationship ran alongside a political awakening.

When his relationship with Franks ended acrimoniously in August 1938 he was thrown into doubt and confusion about both his homosexuality and his worth as an artist.

Through an extended course of therapy, Layard gave Tippett the means to analyse and interpret his dreams. Tippett's biographer <a href="/wiki/Ian_Kemp" title="Ian Kemp">Ian Kemp</a> describes this experience as "the major turning point in [his] life", both emotionally and artistically. His particular discovery from dream analysis was "the Jungian '<a href="/wiki/Shadow_(psychology)" title="Shadow (psychology)">shadow</a>' and 'light' in the single, individual psyche ... the need for the individual to accept his divided nature and profit from its conflicting demands".<a href="#cite_note-Kemp36-44">[42]</a> This brought him to terms with his homosexuality, and he was able to pursue his creativity without being distracted by personal relationships.<a href="#cite_note-odnb-7">[7]</a> While still unsure of his sexuality, Tippett had considered marriage with Francesca Allinson, who had expressed the wish that they should have children together.<a href="#cite_note-Kemp36-44">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-Robinson96-45">[43]</a> After his psychotherapy he enjoyed several committed—and sometimes overlapping—same-sex relationships.

But when Tippett presented him with a more detailed scenario, Eliot advised him to write his own text, suggesting that the poetic quality of the words might otherwise dominate the music.<a href="#cite_note-48">[46]</a> Tippett called the oratorio <a href="/wiki/A_Child_of_Our_Time" title="A Child of Our Time">A Child of Our Time</a>, taking the title from Ein Kind unserer Zeit, a contemporary protest novel by the Austro-Hungarian writer <a href="/wiki/%C3%96d%C3%B6n_von_Horv%C3%A1th" title="Ödön von Horváth">Ödön von Horváth</a>.<a href="#cite_note-49">[47]</a> Within a three-part structure based on Handel's Messiah, Tippett took the novel step of using North American <a href="/wiki/Spirituals" title="Spirituals">spirituals</a> in place of the traditional <a href="/wiki/Chorales" class="mw-redirect" title="Chorales">chorales</a> that punctuate oratorio texts.

I prefer not to consider the actual notes of the composition until this process ... has gone as far as possible".<a href="#cite_note-134">[129]</a> Sometimes the time required to see a project through from conception to completion was very long—seven years, Tippett said, in the case of the Third Symphony.<a href="#cite_note-135">[130]</a> In the earlier, contemplative stages he might be simultaneously engaged on other works, but once these stages were complete he would dedicate himself entirely to the completion of the work in hand.<a href="#cite_note-136">[131]</a> Tippett preferred to compose in full score; once the writing began, progress was often not fluent, as evidenced by Tippett's first pencil draft manuscripts, which show multiple rubbings-out and reworkings.

This perception was strongly expressed by Derek Puffett, who argued that the decline followed Tippett's abandonment of myth—seen as the key to the success of The Midsummer Marriage and King Priam—and stemmed from his increasingly futile efforts to universalise his private agonies and express them musically.

After the relatively muted 2005 centenary celebrations, performances and recordings tailed off.<a href="#cite_note-193">[187]</a> In October 2012 Hewett wrote in the Daily Telegraph of a "calamitous fall" in Tippett's reputation since his death.<a href="#cite_note-Hewett-121">[117]</a> Geraint Lewis acknowledges that "no consensus yet exists in respect of the works composed from the 1960s onwards", while forecasting that Tippett will in due course be recognised as one of the most original and powerful musical voices of twentieth-century Britain".<a href="#cite_note-odnb-7">[7]</a> Many of Tippett's articles and broadcast talks were issued in collections between 1959 and 1995. In 1991 he published an episodic autobiography, Those Twentieth Century Blues, notable for its frank discussions of personal issues and relationships.<a href="#cite_note-194">[188]</a> Collectively, Tippett's writings define his aesthetic standpoint, which Clarke summarises thus: "Tippett holds that art's role in post-Enlightenment culture is to offer a corrective to society's spiritually injurious domination by mass technology. Art, he suggests, can articulate areas of human experience, unapproachable through scientific rationality, by presenting 'images' of the inner world of the psyche."<a href="#cite_note-grove-38">[36]</a> Although Tippett did not found a compositional school, composers who have acknowledged his influence include David Matthews and <a href="/wiki/William_Mathias" title="William Mathias">William Mathias</a>.<a href="#cite_note-195">[189]</a><a href="#cite_note-196">[190]</a> More generally, his musical and educational influence continues through the Michael Tippett Foundation. He is also commemorated in the Michael Tippett Centre, a concert venue within the Newton Park campus of <a href="/wiki/Bath_Spa_University" title="Bath Spa University">Bath Spa University</a>.<a href="#cite_note-197">[191]</a> In Lambeth, home of Morley College, is <a href="/wiki/Heron_Academy" title="Heron Academy">Heron Academy</a> (previously named The Michael Tippett School), an educational facility for young people aged 11–19 with complex learning disabilities.<a href="#cite_note-198">[192]</a> Within the school's campus is the Tippett Music Centre, which offers music education for children of all ages and levels of ability.<a href="#cite_note-199">[193]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Writings">Writings</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Tippett&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Writings">edit</a>]</div> Three collections of Tippett's articles and broadcast talks have been published: <ul><li>Moving into Aquarius (1959).
