Victor Hely-Hutchinson
Christian Victor Hely-Hutchinson (26 December 1901 – 11 March 1947) was a British composer, born in Cape Town, Cape Colony (now in South Africa).
He is best known for the ''Carol Symphony'', from which, the third movement was used for the title music of the 1943 Children's Hour and 1984 BBC children's television adaptation of John Masefield's ''The Box of Delights'', in particular the variation on the theme of ''The First Nowell''. He is also well known for his settings of various nursery rhymes and children's poems. His setting of Old Mother Hubbard is famous for being composed in the manner of Handel. His song setting of Edward Lear's ''The Owl and the Pussycat'' was notably recorded by Elton Hayes and featured on the BBC's Children's Favourites radio show.
== Early life ==
His father, Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson, was the governor of Cape Colony from 1901 to 1910 during the Boer War. He initially lived in Kent, then moved back to South Africa in 1907. He was taught the piano by Dr Thomas Barrow Dowling (1861 - 1926), the organist of Cape Town cathedral. Victor was a child prodigy, composing many pieces before the age of ten. In England in 1910, he was taught piano by Donald Tovey, and was initially educated at Heatherdown School, near Ascot in Berkshire. In 1914, his father died. Victor was then educated at Eton College (also in Berkshire), followed by Balliol College at the University of Oxford. At the Royal College of Music, he studied conducting under Adrian Boult. In 1922, he returned to Cape Town, to teach at the South African College of Music, which was later incorporated into the University of Cape Town. Here, he married Marjorie Hugo.
