Barry Gray Date of Birth: 1925 Place of Birth: Lancashire,
Born of musical parents, Gray went on to study at the Royal Manchester College of Music and at Blackburn Cathedral, where he learned harmony and counterpoint; later studying composition with Matyas Sieber, the eminent Hungarian teacher. His first job in the profession was with Feldman's music publishers in London, where he gained much experience scoring for many different combinations for theater, variety and large and small radio orchestras. Later, he became composer-arranger at Radio Normandy at their commercial radio station in Portland Place where he remained until he outbreak of World War II. After 6 years' service in the Royal Air Force during World War II, he resumed his career as an arranger, conductor, and composer on radio, and as an arranger and accompanist for various performing artists, most notably Vera Lynn, Hoagy Carmichael, and Eartha Kitt. Lynn was the artist with whom he was associated the longest, for 10 years, from 1949 until 1959. He became a television composer in the mid-1950s when he was engaged, initially as an arranger and conductor, by AP Films, a small studio owned by Gerry Anderson, on a program called "The Adventures of Twizzle", created by Roberta Leigh. This led to his becoming the composer of the music for such subsequent children's television series as "Supercar", "Fireball XL5", "Stingray", "Thunderbirds", and "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons", all of which were built around marionettes as characters, and all produced by Anderson and his expanded company, rechristened Century 21. All of Gray's music for these programs utilized such early electronic instruments as the Ondes Martenot and the Miller Spinetta, and he later added various electric organs, synthesizers, and oscillators to his array of instruments, as well as orchestras of up to 70 players. He studied Ondes Martenot, a French instrument, with its inventor Martenot in Paris. In 1970, he moved to Guernsey, a small tax haven island in the Channel near the coast of France, but part of the United Kingdom. He wrote a recognition theme for International Rescue, a real-life rescue operation formed in England with Gerry Anderson as honorary President. He also spent some of his time as resident pianist at the Old Government House Hotel on Guernsey, performing as a labor of love during dinners.
