The Prelude in C comes from the Suite in C Z666, but I can't locate the source for the Prelude in G, which is from neither of the G major Suites Z660/662. Any suggestions?

Here's a recording, if it helps:

It’s Purcell’s Voluntary in G for organ, Z.720.
I can’t find it on imslp,
But it is in the 93 page book with Purcell’s keyboard music
On Walter Cosand’s site (p. 66 of the book).
Greetings,

Does anyone have the two-piano score and (or) orchestra full score of York Bowen's Piano Concerto No.3 ‘Fantasia’?
Many thanks.

Many thanks.
Unfortunately the work is not available for sale; it is still in manuscript and resides in the Royal Academy of Music collection, in London. Maybe drop them an email?

If you search for "Bowen Driver" on this site, there's a discussion about unpublished Bowen works, plus a suggestion about contacting Josef Weinberger publishers to see if they have any new Bowen material. IIRC Danny Driver and Stephen Hough have both contributed.

Wrote several organ pieces, but here is his three popular fantasias for piano [thank you Mr P].

Bonser A.H - Three Popular Fantasias.pdf
I found a small amount of information about him. Conducted the Sutton-in-Ashfield Choral Society. Died 1950. There's a photo of him with his elder brother, both active Freemasons in their 90s.
You can listen to the second of the linked pieces here Swinging (Berceuse): https://musescore.com/user/4151271/scores/7485170

Fwiw, here's a link to some brief biographies of several musicians from Nottinghamshire, including Bonser.
