Charles Burney was born at Raven Street in Shrewsbury, fourth of six children of James Macburney (1678–1749), a musician, dancer and portrait painter, and his second wife Ann (nee Cooper) (c1690-1775). In childhood he and a brother, Richard (1723–1792) were for unknown reasons sent to the care of a "Nurse Ball" at nearby Condover, where they lived until 1739. He began formal education at Shrewsbury School in 1737 and was later sent in 1739 to The King's School in Chester, where his father then lived and worked. His first music master was a Mr Baker, organist of the cathedral, and a pupil of Dr John Blow. Returning to Shrewsbury at the age of fifteen, Burney continued his musical studies for three years under his half-brother, James Burney, organist of St Mary's church, and was then sent to London as a pupil of Dr Thomas Arne for three years.

A native of London, he was the son of Charles Burney, the music historian, and his first wife, Esther Sleepe. He was a brother of the novelist and diarist Fanny Burney and of the explorer James Burney, and a half-brother of the novelist Sarah Burney.
Burney was educated at Charterhouse School, London, and then at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. However, he was accused of stealing books from the university library, probably to pay debts, and sent down in 1778. He obtained an LLD degree from King's College, Aberdeen in 1781. Ironically, Burney later amassed legally a collection of 13,000 rare books and manuscripts, which was ultimately bought by the nation for the British Museum in 1817 for the sum of £13,500. Today, the Burney Collection belongs to the British Library.
Bells will be ringing The glad, glad news Oh, what a Christmas To have the blues My baby's gone I have no friends To wish me greetings Once again Choirs will be singing "Silent Night" Christmas carols By candlelight Please come home for Christmas Please come home for Christmas If not for Christmas Then by New Year's Night Friends and relations Send salutations Sure as the stars shine up above For this is Christmas Christmas, my dear The time of year To spend with the one you love Then won't you please tell me You'll never more roam Christmas and New Year's Will find you home There'll be no more sorrow No grief or pain Because it's Christmas
