Leighton Lucas (5 January 1903 – 1 November 1982) was an English composer and conductor. Born into a musical family (his father, Clarence Lucas, was also a noted composer and his mother Clara Asher-Lucas a concert pianist), he began his career as a dancer for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes (1918–21). He became a ballet conductor at 19, and in 1941 became musical director of the Ballet Guild, a wartime company for which he formed first a quintet, later an orchestra. He also worked as an arranger for Jack Hylton's orchestra between c.1926 and 1930.

  • レイトン・ルーカス(Leighton Lucas、1903年1月5日 - 1982年11月1日)は、イギリスの作曲家、指揮者。 ロンドンで作曲家のクラレンス・ルーカスの子として生まれた。1918年からセルゲイ・ディアギレフ率いるバレエ・リュスでダンサーを目指すが、19歳のときにバレエ指揮者に転向。同時に独学で作曲を学んだ 。 特に映画音楽の分野で活躍し、代表作にアルフレッド・ヒッチコック監督の『舞台恐怖症』(1950年)、『揚子江死の脱走』(1957年)などがある。ベンジャミン・ブリテンと親しく、ブリテンはルーカスの『パルティータ』を「とても面白くてかわいらしいサラバンド」と評している。また『シンフォニア・ブレヴィス』はガムランの効果を初めて取り入れたイギリスの楽曲で、それを聴いたブリテンはオペレッタ『ポール・バニヤン』でその効果を採用している。 (ja)
