  • 14 years ago
Moby Dick (Philip Sainton arr. Pollen). Philip Prosper Sainton (10th November 1891 - 2nd September 1967) was a British--French composer, conductor, and violist. He was born in Arques-la-Bataille, in Seine-Maritime, France, grandson to violinist Prosper Sainton and contralto Charlotte Helen Sainton-Dolby. He started his music studies learning the violin. At some point he entered the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied composition under Frederick Corder and viola under Lionel Tertis. Today, he is perhaps most remembered as the composer of the score for John Huston's 1956 film Moby Dick. He died in Petersfield, Hampshire in England. Music arranged by George Pollen.
