Peter Wishart’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Peter Wishart was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
Remembered for his neoclassical chamber, orchestral, and vocal music works, this twentieth-century British composer most famously wrote the song "The Jackdaw" and the operas The Clandestine Marriage and The Captive.
In the late 1940s, he studied in Paris with the famous French composer Nadia Boulanger.
Beginning in the 1970s, he taught music at the University of Reading in England.
His 1974 opera, Clytemnestra, was composed for his mezzo-soprano vocalist wife, Maureen Lehane. His son from an earlier marriage, James Wishart, also had a career as a composer.
He was influenced by the work of the early 20th-century Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
