Obituary: Wilfred Josephs: The melody man
1997
Overview
To the wider public, he will be most readily remembered for the haunting incidental music he wrote for The Great War series on BBC television, with its whooping signature tune reminiscent of Mahler. Among many other television scores, there was his equally striking music for the BBC adaptation of Robert Graves's I Claudius. In the widest range of genres he was always prolific, even when suffering chronic ill-health. Happily, his 70th birthday this year was celebrated by a series of performances, including the belated British premiere of his oratorio, Mortales, written for Cincinatti in the late 1960s.
