Philip Green, born in London in 1911, was a prolific composer of film music and a number of other works, including three masses. In 1933 he was the youngest musical director in the West End of London, and was making recordings for EMI at the ripe old age of 22. His first film score was written shortly after the Second World War, and some 150 others followed thereafter. He was one of the most respected and active musicians in his field at the time.
