Trevor Rabin

South African musician (born 1954)

Trevor Rabin is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Trevor Rabin as South African musician (born 1954).

Trevor Rabin was born at Johannesburg in 1954. His recorded nationality is South Africa. He was educated at Parktown Boys' High School.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as composer, guitarist and film score composer.

Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.

His recorded fields of work are film score.

Working from South Africa shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Trevor Rabin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
