My friend Raymond Warren, who has died aged 96, was a composer of classical music who taught at Queen’s University Belfast and then the University of Bristol.
Many of Raymond’s pieces were concerned with Christian responses to suffering, but he also wrote music for children and young people. A late success was his charming score for Ballet Shoes, written for the London Children’s Ballet, which was performed at the Peacock theatre in London in 2001 and revived by that company in 2010 and 2019.
