Composer Details

Joby Talbot

A versatile composer of enviable talent, Joby Talbot studied under Brian Elias and Simon Bainbridge. He wrote the unforgettable theme tune to BBC TV’s The League of Gentlemen, which won him a Royal Television Society Award, and has scored Hitchcock’s silent classic The Lodger and Evgeny Bauer’s The Dying Swan for the concert hall. In 2006 he arranged White Stripes songs for the Royal Ballet and choreographer Wayne MacGregor, a collaboration which won both the South Bank Show and Olivier Awards for Dance. His work for cinema includes the scores for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Son of Rambow with director Garth Jennings, the teen hit Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Is There Anybody There? starring Michael Caine.

‘[Joby Talbot’s] orchestral version of his Dying Swan film score washes through the consciousness, slowly unfurling pristine melodies as it weaves a seductively saturated atmosphere.’ The Times (London)
