From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
Patrick Doyle was born in 1953 in Uddingston, Scotland. He graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music in 1975. In 1987 he became composer and musical director of Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance Theatre Company. A long collaboration grew out of this. For Branagh he wrote, among others, Henry V (1989), Much Ado About Nothing (1993), Hamlet (1996), Thor (2011) and Cinderella (2015). Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Hamlet earned him Oscar nominations. In Sense and Sensibility the soprano Jane Eaglen sings two songs. He also wrote Gosford Park (2001), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) and Pixar's Brave (2012). In 1997 he contracted leukaemia. He kept writing in hospital and made a full recovery.
