has abstract	William Lewarne Harris (23 May 1929 - 17 August 2013) was an English composer and teacher. Harris was born in Birkenhead. He was educated at the King's School, Canterbury until the war saw him evacuated to St Austell in Cornwall. He performed National Service with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Afterwards he studied at the Royal College of Music with Patrick Hadley and later Herbert Howells. While there he won the Lionel Tertis prize for his folk-song influenced Suite for viola and piano (1952). It was later broadcast on BBC Radio by Watson Forbes. Harris was married in 1956 and the couple had two sons and a daughter. But the marriage ended in divorce and Harris became a single parent of three children, working as a teacher in London and Kent schools. He maintained his Cornish roots from his mother's side of the family, frequently returning to Cornwall and becoming friendly with another Cornish composer of operas, Inglis Gundry. He was made a Cornish bard in 2002 in recognition of his support for Cornish music. He died in a London nursing home on 17 August 2013, aged 84. His memoirs, Knocking on a Bolted Door, were edited by his son Steven and published in 2014. Steven Harris has also written a memoir about his time working as a piano tuner at the Harrods department store in the late 1970s. (en)
