Juni 1905 in London / Wimbledon; † gefallen 12. Juni 1942 bei Tobruk in Libyen) war ein britischer Komponist und Pianist. Leigh studierte in Cambridge und von 1927 bis 1929 in Berlin an der Hochschule für Musik bei Paul Hindemith, dessen Persönlichkeit und Werk starken Eindruck auf ihn machten. Walter Leigh war unter anderem musikalischer Leiter des Festival Theatre Cambridge, für das er fast jede Woche neue Bühnenmusik schrieb. Er bekam Aufträge von der BBC und mehreren Londoner Theatern. 1941 trat er der britischen Armee bei und fiel im Alter von 36 Jahren am 12. Juni 1942 in der Nähe von Tobruk in Libyen. (de) Walter Leigh (Wimbledon (Londen), 22 juni 1905 - Tobroek, 12 juni 1942) is een Brits componist. Zijn muziek is een anachronisme in de klassieke muziek van de 20e eeuw. Leigh startte zijn muzikale opleiding toen hij acht jaar oud was bij zijn leraar ; hij studeerde uiteindelijk negen jaar bij hem. Aanvullende studies volgde hij aan het Christ’s College in Cambridge, waar hij in 1926 afstudeerde. Daarop volgden lessen bij Paul Hindemith aan de Hogeschool voor de muziek in Berlijn. Hij wees in 1930 een baan als leraar af om zich verder toe te leggen op het theater en te leven van de opdrachten die hem ten deel vielen. (nl)
