Buxton Orr (18 April 1924 - December 27, 1997) was a Glasgow-born Anglo-Scottish composer. Originally trained as a doctor, Orr gave up medicine and switched to music, studying composition with Benjamin Frankel. Best known for his personal application of serial technique and for several virtuoso instrumental fantasies on well-known operatic themes, he was also active for a time in the film industry as well as being an energetic and influential teacher. One of his pupils was Debbie Wiseman. <a hr
