Jocelyn Pook (born 14 February 1960) is an English composer, pianist and viola player. Pook graduated in 1983 from London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she studied the viola. She has performed with many pop artists including The Communards and Massive Attack, and has worked extensively with dance companies such as DV8 Physical Theatre and Shobana Jeyasingh Dance. In 1983 Jocelyn appeared in the ABC movie Mantrap as one of many string players for the album The Lexicon of Love. Pook has recorded with pianist Jeremy Peyton Jones for Rough Trade and Century XXI. About a year later, she joined Anne Stephenson and Audrey Riley to accompany Virginia Astley both on stage and record. She co-founded neoclassical chamber quartet Electra Strings alongside Australian violinist Sonia Slany, recording an album on the Village Lifelabel. Following the departure of Slany, the group was rebranded as the Brilliant Strings.As a solo recording artist, Pook released several albums, including Deluge (1997), Flood (1999) and Untold Things (2001). In 2002 she was commissioned by The Proms to write a piece for The King's Singers, in collaboration with Andrew Motion. Her career as a film composer took flight when cuts from her album Flood were used in Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut. The piece Masked Ball, which incorporates a fragment of an Orthodox Liturgy played backwards and lyrics sung (or chanted) in Romanian, underscored the masked ball sequence. Further scores have subsequently been contributed to several European films, notably the 2004 film version of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Peter Kosminsky's film on David Kelly, The Government Inspector, Brick Lane and 2007's Caótica Ana. Pook was commissioned to write a short opera, Ingerland, for ROH2 (the contemporary producing arm of London's Royal Opera House) which was performed in the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre in June 2010.
