About Ruth Barrett
Artist Biography
Film and television composer Ruth Barrett often adds a touch of larger-than-life whimsy to her rousing folk and orchestral scores. After getting her start in British television, she landed on the big screen with the 2009 Michael Caine vehicle Harry Brown, whose score she composed with frequent writing partner Martin Phipps. They were later nominated for an Emmy for their music for the historical series Victoria in 2017. In the meantime, Barrett earned credits on series like Wallander (BBC), Whitechapel (ITV), and Collateral (BBC) as well as the occasional film such as 2016's City of Tiny Lights. In the 2020s, her C.V. included such hit shows as NBC's Law & Order: Organized Crime and the ITV nature series Big Beasts, whose sweeping orchestral arrangements showcased her flamboyant musical sensibilities.
