Britten’s father’s death meant that he had to come up with his own source of income. To this purpose, he started composing music for television documentaries and films. This stood him in good stead as he could easily incorporate elements from film music into works classical in nature. During his earliest works for the BBC, he came in contact with W.H. Auden with whom he worked a few more times. It was also during one such project with the BBC in 1937 that he came in contact with Peter Pears. Pears, who went on to become his music collaborator and life partner, was a tenor for whom Britten wrote most of his solo music. In the same year, he composed his ‘Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge’. This work brought him international acclaim.
