Among his most recognisable works are <i><a href="/wiki/Monty_Python%27s_Life_of_Brian" title="Monty Python's Life of Brian">Monty Python's Life of Brian</a></i> for film, and <i><a href="/wiki/Tinker_Tailor_Soldier_Spy_(miniseries)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (miniseries)">Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Brideshead_Revisited_(TV_serial)" class="mw-redirect" title="Brideshead Revisited (TV serial)">Brideshead Revisited</a></i> for television, the latter two earning <a href="/wiki/Ivor_Novello_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Ivor Novello Award">Ivor Novello Awards</a> in 1979 and 1981 respectively. He also won <a href="/wiki/British_Academy_Film_Awards" title="British Academy Film Awards">BAFTAs</a> for his themes for the remake of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Forsyte_Saga_(2002_miniseries)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Forsyte Saga (2002 miniseries)">The Forsyte Saga</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Longitude_(TV_series)" title="Longitude (TV series)">Longitude</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Telegraph_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Burgon also achieved success and a serious following with vocal, orchestral, concert and stage works.<sup id="cite_ref-Telegraph_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life_and_career">Life and career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geoffrey_Burgon&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Life and career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Burgon was born in <a href="/wiki/Hambledon,_Hampshire" title="Hambledon, Hampshire">Hambledon, Hampshire</a>, in 1941,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> son of Alan Wybert Burgon (died 1983) and Ada Vera, née Isom.

He entered the <a href="/wiki/Guildhall_School_of_Music_and_Drama" title="Guildhall School of Music and Drama">Guildhall School of Music and Drama</a> with the intention of becoming a professional trumpet player. However, under the direction of his mentor, composer <a href="/wiki/Peter_Wishart_(composer)" title="Peter Wishart (composer)">Peter Wishart</a>, he found that he was more interested in composition. Burgon initially supported himself and his family as a freelance jazz trumpeter. At the age of 30 he sold his instruments, except one, and devoted himself to composition. He lived through a lengthy period of poverty before critical success eventually brought financial reward. </p><p>The critical success of his <i>Requiem</i> at the <a href="/wiki/Three_Choirs_Festival" title="Three Choirs Festival">Three Choirs Festival</a> in 1976 sealed his reputation as a composer and led to many commissions from major organisations. Continuing the tradition established by <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Britten" title="Benjamin Britten">Benjamin Britten</a>, Burgon's fluent and effortless language was particularly well suited to the voice and he had a long-standing collaboration with counter-tenor <a href="/wiki/James_Bowman_(countertenor)" title="James Bowman (countertenor)">James Bowman</a>. Burgon also had considerable success writing for film and television and twice received both <a href="/wiki/BAFTA" class="mw-redirect" title="BAFTA">BAFTA</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ivor_Novello_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Ivor Novello Award">Ivor Novello Awards</a>. </p><p>His style was essentially conservative, influenced by <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Britten" title="Benjamin Britten">Benjamin Britten</a> and medieval music rather than modern styles. His music was therefore not favoured by music critics and was sometimes labelled as commercial, but nevertheless it was widely appreciated.<sup id="cite_ref-Times_Obit_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Times_Obit-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Burgon saw his work in film and television as subsidising his passion for, and ability to devote time to what he called his "serious work" for concert.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (Perhaps his most noted piece is his <i>Nunc dimittis,</i> which was composed in 1979 for use in the television series, <i>Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy</i>.) </p><p>He married Janice Elizabeth Garwood in 1963 and had a son, Matthew and a daughter, Hannah.
