Philip Christian Darnton (30 October 1905 – 14 April 1981) was a British composer who wrote modernistic scores to a few feature films and short films for the Canadian Army.He was born in Leeds as Philip Christian von Schunck (or Schunk). His paternal grandfather, born in Leipzig but who later settled in Britain, was part of an old German family that had, since 1715, held a Barony in the Holy Roman Empire. This grandfather, Edward, married Kate Lupton, born into the progressive and political Lupton family, and educated at the school of her relative Rachel Martineau. Edward died in 1889, but Kate survived him until 1913, the eve of the First World War, and insisted in her will that their only son, John Edward von Schunck, change his surname to that of her father, the former Mayor of Leeds. Thus he and his children acquired by Royal Licence the name Darnton. John Edward had two sisters, both of whom married, making Christian Darnton the nephew of Albert Kitson, 2nd Baron Airedale.The family was extremely well-off and he was educated at home by a governess until he was nine, when he began composing.Darton composed the overture Stalingrad during World War II, and works for different combinations. He had joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1941. His Communist views may have later hurt his popularity and led to his becoming relatively obscure. He also criticized the term "English Musical Renaissance", feeling England produced no "composer of international consequence" in that period.
