'''Anthony Edward Payne''' (2 August 1936 – 30 April 2021) was an English composer, [[music critic]] and [[musicologist]]. He is best known for [[Symphony No. 3 (Elgar/Payne)|his acclaimed completion]] of [[Edward Elgar]]'s third symphony, which gained wide acceptance into [[List of compositions by Edward Elgar|Elgar's ''oeuvre'']]. Payne is particularly noted for his [[chamber music]], much of which was written for his wife, the soprano [[Jane Manning]], and the couple's new music ensemble [[Jane's Minstrels]]. Initially an unrelenting proponent of [[modernist music]], by the 1980s his compositions had embraced aspects of the late English [[Romanticism (music)|romanticism]], described by his colleague [[Susan Bradshaw]] as "modernized nostalgia".

Born in London, Payne first seriously studied music at [[Durham University]]. His professional career began around 1969 with his first major work, the staunchly modernist ''Phoenix Mass'' for choir and brass band. He continued to write choral and vocal works, almost exclusively to [[British poetry|British poets]]. From his 1981 chamber work ''A Day in the Life of a Mayfly'' on, he synthesised modernism with the English romanticism of Elgar, [[Delius]] and [[Vaughan Williams]]. Two orchestral commissions for [[The Proms]], ''The Spirit's Harvest'' (1985) and ''Time's Arrow'' (1990) were well received. After his successful completion of Elgar's unfinished third symphony, Payne became unsure of his musical identity. He found difficulty in subsequent composition until a series of orchestral works for the Proms, ''Visions and Journeys'' (2002), ''The Period of Cosmographie'' (2010) and ''Of Land, Sea and Sky'' (2016).

Payne held academic posts at various institutions throughout his career, including [[Mills College]], the [[London College of Music]], the [[Sydney Conservatorium of Music]], the [[University of Western Australia]] and the [[University of East Anglia]]. Despite regular commissions from a variety of English ensembles, he was not a particularly mainstream composer and was forced to supplement his income with writings. A noted critic, he wrote for ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', ''[[The Independent]]'' and ''[[Country Life (magazine)|Country Life]]''. Other writings include publications on a variety of musical topics, notably {{harvtxt|''Schoenberg''|1968}}—a study on the composer [[Arnold Schoenberg]]—and numerous works on the music of [[Frank Bridge]], to whom he was particularly devoted.

After a brief stint in the [[Royal Corps of Signals]] (1955–1957), Payne read music at the [[Durham University Department of Music]] in [[St Cuthbert's Society]], [[Durham University]] (1958–1961).{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} During this time, studying [[Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina|Palestrinian]] [[counterpoint]] and working with the musicologist [[Peter Evans (musicologist)|Peter Evans]] assisted the growth of his musical maturity.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} Around his graduation, he had a [[nervous breakdown]] and largely stopped composing for four years.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}}<ref name="Millington"/> He spent his hiatus primarily as a freelance [[music critic]] and [[musicologist]].<ref name="Savage"/> Before his halting of composition, in 1959 Payne had drafted parts of the [[symphonic poem]] ''It Happened Once'', and returning to it in 1964 under the name of ''Liebestod'', he began to discover a newly personal style of composition.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}}

===Emerging composer (1965–1980)===
Payne's new compositional style was first fully realised in the ''Phoenix Mass'' for [[SATB]] choir and brass, which he began in 1965 and finished by 1969.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} Commentators note that the '[[Phoenix (mythology)|Phoenix]]' of the title is both metaphorical and literal, because it is, in the words of music critic [[Barry Millington]], "a symbolic revivification of his compositional ambitions with a newly fashioned method of structural organisation."<ref name="Millington"/> Characterised by the use of [[harmony (music)|harmonic]] [[interval (music)|intervals]] for specific themes and movements,{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} Payne declared the work to be his first major composition.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> Payne married the soprano [[Jane Manning]] in 1966.<ref name="Bradshaw">{{cite encyclopedia |last=Bradshaw |first=Susan |author-link=Susan Bradshaw |others=Revised by [[Bayan Northcott]] |editor1-first=Bayan |editor1-last=Northcott |year=2010 |orig-year=2001 |encyclopedia=[[Grove Music Online]] |title=Payne, Anthony |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |location=Oxford |doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.21136 |isbn=978-1-56159-263-0 |url-access=subscription |url=https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/grovemusic/view/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.001.0001/omo-9781561592630-e-0000021136 |access-date=1 May 2021 |archive-date=1 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210501044907/https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/grovemusic/view/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.001.0001/omo-9781561592630-e-0000021136 |url-status=live }} {{Grove Music subscription}}</ref>

''Paraphrases and Cadenzas'' (1969), his next work, was a 14-minute piece for [[viola]], clarinet and piano, that shared much of the harmonic language of the ''Phoenix Mass''.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} Payne later revised both the ''Phoenix Mass'' and ''Paraphrases and Cadenzas'' in 1972 and 1978 respectively.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> Commissioned and premiered by the [[Baccholian Singers of London]] in 1970, his ''Two Songs without Words'' for five unaccompanied male voices shifted focus from intervallic organization to music based on [[numerology]].{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=37}} Payne's ''Sonatas and Ricercars'' premiered the next year; the nine-movement work featured four full ensemble movements and five movements of solos for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=37}} Later in 1971 Payne wrote ''Paean'' for solo piano, in which a synthesis of the [[aria]] and [[toccata]] forms is dominated by numerology and [[tone cluster]]s.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=37}} Throughout 1972 and early 1973, various writing commissions halted his music composition.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=37}} By 1970 Payne and Manning had moved to a house in [[Islington]], where they lived until the end of their lives.<ref name="Lennie"/>{{refn|As of {{harvtxt|Lennie|2013}}, Payne and Manning were known to have lived in [[Islington]] since 1970. They presumably lived there until the end of their lives as no other sources suggest otherwise.|group=n|name=Islington}}

In the Spring of 1973 Payne returned to ''Liebestod'', but quickly set it aside to work on the unaccompanied vocal piece ''A Little Passiontide Cant'' to an anonymous text from 14th-century England,{{sfn|Northcott|1975|pp=37–38}} and later his ''Concerto for Orchestra'' (1974) commissioned by [[Richard Bradshaw (conductor)|Richard Bradshaw]] and the New London Ensemble.<ref name="Concerto for Orchestra">{{cite web |title=Concerto for Orchestra (1974) |publisher=Wise Music Classical |access-date=25 May 2021 |url=https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/8439/Concerto-for-Orchestra--Anthony-Payne/ }}</ref> The latter was his largest-scale work to date, featuring [[ritornello]]s and—like the ''Sonatas and Ricercars''—rotating instrumental solos.<ref name="Concerto for Orchestra"/> For 16 voices and text by [[Thomas Hardy]], Payne won the Radcliffe Award for another unaccompanied vocal piece, ''First Sight of Her and After'' (1975).<ref name="Tempo">{{cite journal |date=September 1975 |title=Front Matter: Contributors |journal=[[Tempo (journal)|Tempo]] |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |volume=114 |pages=1–52 |jstor=943692 }}</ref> Though now he planned to finish ''Liebestod'',{{refn|Based on Payne's list of compositions in {{harvtxt|Bradshaw|2010}}, it appears he never completed ''Liebestod''.|group=n}} he was commissioned by the [[Grimethorpe Colliery Band]] and [[Elgar Howarth]] so instead wrote a tone poem-funeral ode inspired by ''[[Beowulf]]'', ''Fire on Whaleness'' (1975–1976), for brass band.<ref name="Tempo"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Fire on Whaleness (1976) |publisher=Wise Music Classical |access-date=25 May 2021 |url=https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/8458/Fire-on-Whaleness--Anthony-Payne/ }}</ref> Throughout 1976 to 1979, Payne embarked on four more choral pieces, three of which were by British figures: ''The World's Winter'' (1976, text by [[Alfred, Lord Tennyson]]); ''The Sea of Glass'' (1977, text from the [[Book of Revelation]]); ''A Little Ascension Cant'' (1977, text attributed to [[Cynewulf]]); and ''A Little Whitsuntide Cant'' (1977, text by [[Emily Brontë]]).<ref name="Bradshaw"/> He was commissioned by the [[BBC Proms]] for ''The Stones and Lonely Places Sing'' (1979), a tone poem that has a numerology-based structure<ref name="Millington"/> and evokes "the bleak coastline of western Britain and Ireland".<ref name="The Telegraph"/>

In 1988 he co-founded the new music ensemble [[Jane's Minstrels]] with Manning.<ref name="Savage"/> Many of his works, such as transcriptions of seven songs by [[Peter Warlock]] entitled the ''Aspects of Love and Contentment'' (1991),<ref>{{cite web |title=Aspects of Love and Contentment (1991) |publisher=Wise Music Classical |access-date=9 June 2021 |url=https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/8456/Aspects-of-Love-and-Contentment--Anthony-Payne/ }}</ref> were composed for Jane's Minstrels.<ref name="Savage"/> The group also performed music by [[Henry Purcell|Purcell]], Elgar, [[Frank Bridge|Bridge]], [[Percy Grainger|Grainger]], [[Anton Webern|Webern]], Schoenberg,<ref name="Savage"/> and [[Maxwell Davies]].<ref name="Millington"/>

Payne's next important orchestral work, ''Time's Arrow'' (1990) was his third orchestral commission for the BBC Proms.

[[File:Isles of Scilly NASA.jpg|thumb|The [[Isles of Scilly]] which inspired Payne's acclaimed ''Visions and Journeys'' (2002) for orchestra]]
After his international success in completing Elgar's 3rd symphony, Payne initially found difficulty in composing further.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> Payne explained "It was rather like an actor must feel in a role – I was playing Elgar to the best of my ability. However, I was seriously worried at the end of it that I would not be able to be myself again. For 18 months I was living inside this work. It was fantastic while I was doing it, but I thought: How can I possibly get back to writing my stuff?".<ref name="Lennie"/> He wrote the ''Micro-Sonata'' (1997) and ''Hommage to Debussy'' (1998)—his first solo piano works since 1980.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> Payne's resurgence in large-scale composition came with the [[Isles of Scilly]]-inspired ''Visions and Journeys'' (2002),<ref name="The Telegraph"/> an orchestral commission for the Proms that was especially well received.<ref name="Bradshaw"/>

Payne subsequently also composed a version of ''Pomp and Circumstance March'' No. 6 from Elgar's incomplete sketches for the work, which received its first performance under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis at a Prom concert on 2 August 2006 – Payne's 70th birthday.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> From 2012 to 2013, Payne was a Professorial Fellow the [[University of East Anglia]]'s composition department.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://composersedition.com/anthonypayne/ |title=Anthony Payne |publisher=Composers Edition |access-date=17 July 2021 }}</ref> His String Quartet No. 2 (2010) won the Chamber category of the 2011 British Composer Awards.<ref name="Smith">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Charlotte |date=1 December 2011 |title=British Composer Awards winners announced |work=[[The Gramophone]] |access-date=19 January 2012 |url=http://www.gramophone.co.uk/classical-music-news/british-composer-awards-winners-announced |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505195504/http://www.gramophone.co.uk/classical-music-news/british-composer-awards-winners-announced |archive-date=5 May 2014 }}</ref> His last major work, ''Of Land, Sea and Sky'' (2016) was a commission for The Proms.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> The piece was written around his 80th birthday, and took inspiration from the sounds of horses' hooves, masses of clouds and the landscape art of [[Arthur Streeton]].<ref name="The Telegraph"/>

Payne died on 30 April 2021.<ref name="Millington"/> He was 84, and died a month after the death of his wife, which reportedly affected his health.<ref name="Savage"/> His colleague and fellow composer [[Colin Matthews]] noted that "They were inseparable in life, and I suppose it's not a surprise that he would follow her so soon after".<ref name="Savage"/> Payne and Manning had no children,<ref name="The Telegraph"/> but were survived by a nephew and two nieces.<ref name="Millington"/>

==Music==
===General character===
Though Payne was drawn to various Classical and Romantic composers in his youth, the late English Romanticism of Elgar, Delius and Vaughan Williams proved to be the most impactful on his work.<ref name="Northcott1996"/> His success from the Elgar Symphony completion led to orchestrations of various works by all three;<ref name="The Telegraph"/><ref name="Bradshaw"/> he likened Vaughan Williams in particular to a "musical godfather".<ref name="Lennie"/> These influences are considerably apparent in the works from his time at Dulwich and Durham.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}}{{sfn|Bradshaw|Bennett|1972|p=41}} By the mid-1960s, Payne began to readily engage with modernist aesthetics, looking for musical content by more narrow means.{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}}{{sfn|Bradshaw|Bennett|1972|p=41}}{{refn|He later explained this conflux of influences: "I wanted to marry English late romanticism with the European avant-garde of the 1960s. Everyone thought I was mad, to think of [[Robert Gerhard|Gerhard]], [[Lutoslawski]], and Vaughan Williams, all in the same piece. But they were the things I was passionate about, and I refused to believe one had to exclude the other"|source=Payne, ''[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]'', 2002<ref>{{cite news |last=Hewett |first=Ivan |date=22 July 2002 |title=Elgar's shock waves |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/3580409/Elgars-shock-waves.html |access-date=11 July 2021 |archive-date=10 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910151534/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/3580409/Elgars-shock-waves.html |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }} {{subscription required}}</ref>|group=n}}

[[File:Paean Excerpt.png|thumb|upright=1.5|In this excerpt ''Paean'' (1971) for solo piano, Payne created a passage based on the pre-generated number 37, which is the amount of 16th notes]]
As a part of his interest in modernistic music, each movement of the ''Phoenix Mass'' centres on a particular interval,{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=36}} such as [[whole tones]] in the [[Gloria in excelsis Deo|Gloria]] and [[major thirds]] in the [[Sanctus]].<ref name="Millington"/> ''Paraphrases and Cadenzas'' (1969) also utilises specific intervallic designations for each movement, each of which align with a movement of the [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]].{{sfn|Northcott|1975|pp=36–37}} Another interest of Payne's was numerology; the virtuosic ''Paean'' (1971) is built on a series of sequences based on a [[random number table]]: 7 3 4 1 1 2 5 2 1 9 5 5 7 8 4 2 3 3 4 9 9 6.{{sfn|Bradshaw|Bennett|1972|p=41}} ''The Stones and Lonely Places Sing'' (1979) uses numerology of a different fashion; the proportions of 3 2 7 4 1 6 5 decide the phrase length, resulting in phrases of 21 bars (3x7), 14 bars (2x7), 49 bars (7x), 28 bars (7x4), 7 bars (7x1), 42 bars (7x6) and 35 bars (7x5).<ref name="Millington"/> Other musical trademarks include wide spaced [[harmonies]] and frequent alternation between strict and fluid rhythmic frameworks.<ref name="Bradshaw"/>

Apart from opera, Payne engaged in most traditional genres: large-scale orchestral, brass band, chamber works, solo piano, solo strings, choral works and song cycles.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> However, he was principally a composer of chamber music,<ref name="Bradshaw"/> much of which was written for Jane's Minstrels and often included vocal parts specifically for Manning.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> Other chamber ensembles Payne wrote compositions for include the Baccholian Singers of London,{{sfn|Northcott|1975|p=37}} New London Ensemble,<ref name="Concerto for Orchestra"/> the Fires of London,<ref name="A Day"/> the Endymion Ensemble,<ref name="Wind"/> the London Festival Orchestra,<ref name="Hidden Music"/> the English Chamber Orchestra<ref name="The Seeds"/> and the Nash Ensemble.<ref name="Empty Landscape"/> Bradshaw asserts that these chamber works most clearly demonstrate the compositional evolution of Payne throughout his career.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> Despite these regular commissions, Payne said in 2005 that after 30 years as a composer he made only what would be [[£]]15,000 in 2020 annually.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> He was forced to supplement his composition with work as a music critic and musicologist.<ref>{{cite news |date=3 May 2021 |title=Anthony Payne obituary |work=[[The Times]] |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/anthony-payne-obituary-2zcvtgt9b |url-access=subscription |access-date=5 May 2021 |archive-date=5 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210505065554/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/anthony-payne-obituary-2zcvtgt9b |url-status=live }}</ref> Reflecting on this, Payne said "Still, you do it for love, don't you?".<ref name="The Telegraph"/>

===Legacy and reputation===
Payne was not a particularly mainstream composer of [[contemporary classical music]], in part from his straddling the worlds of English Romanticism and modernism.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> Payne reflected on this, recalling his 2003 Radio 3 British Composer Awards, saying "I was absolutely amazed... because I’m one of those composers who never win awards."<ref name="The Telegraph"/> Along these lines, Michael White of ''[[The Independent]]'' described Payne as "a quiet but thoughtful presence in British music [that] always strikes me as a kind of anchorage in sanity, confirming the continuing life of trusted values".<ref>{{cite news |last=White |first=Michael |date=23 October 2011 |title=Gallic sang-froid eclipsed by the deb's delight |work=[[The Independent]] |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/gallic-sangfroid-eclipsed-by-the-deb-s-delight-1612877.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220507/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/gallic-sangfroid-eclipsed-by-the-deb-s-delight-1612877.html |archive-date=7 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=11 July 2021 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Payne made substantial contributions to both the orchestral and choral/vocal repertoires: his ''Time's Arrow'' (1990) and ''Visions and Journeys'' (2002) for orchestra were acclaimed, and he was a prolific composer of song cycles.<ref name="Bradshaw"/> However, he remains most noted as a composer of [[chamber music]];<ref name="Bradshaw"/> he was best known for the chamber work ''A Day in the Life of a Mayfly'' (1981) before his 1997 Elgar completion.<ref name="The Telegraph"/> Though he developed a highly individual style, ''The Telegraph'' asserts that Payne's legacy is "inevitably dominated" by his Elgar completion.<ref name="The Telegraph"/>

At the Proms on 13 August 2021, the BBC Symphony Orchestra played Payne's ''Spring’s Shining Wake'' as a memorial tribute.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ep2xp6 |title=Martyn Brabbins & the BBC Symphony Orchestra |publisher=[[BBC]] |access-date=17 August 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://islingtontribune.com/article/michael-whites-music-news-lso-in-trafalgar-square-proms-this-week-sax-in-peckham-city-music-foundation |title=Michael White's music news: LSO in Trafalgar Square; Proms this week; sax in Peckham; City Music Foundation |date=13 August 2021 |last=White |first=Michael |work=[[Islington Tribune]] |access-date=17 August 2021 }}</ref>
