Robert Orledge was born on 5 January 1948 in Bath, Somerset. After attending City of Bath Boys' School, he received a Bachelor of Arts (1968) and Master of Arts (1972) from Clare College, Cambridge. He received a PhD thesis from there with a study on Charles Koechlin, A Study of the Composer Charles Koechlin (1867–1950).[1] Orledge became a professor of music at the University of Liverpool in 1991,[2] having previously been a lecturer and senior lecturer there.[1]

Orledge specialises in French music from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, particularly that of Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, Charles Koechlin, Erik Satie and Germaine Tailleferre.[1] He has written numerous articles and books on these figures, with a historical musicological-based approach.[2]
