Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) was an important British composer, widely regarded as the greatest since Purcell, whose wide-ranging body of work takes a place among the most distinguished oeuvres in the history of British music. His best-known works include the opera Peter Grimes, the War Requiem, and scores of choral works that have come to be regarded as modern classics. His life partner, Peter Pears (1910–1986), was a well-regarded tenor who premiered several of Britten’s vocal works. Printed musical score to “Saint Nicolas,” 7.5 x 10.5, 33 pages, signed on the first inside page by both Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten. Score is housed in a custom clamshell box. In very good condition, with scattered toning, soiling, and creasing to front cover, mild toning to signed page, and some professional reinforcement to binding. RRAuction COA.
