The GRO BMD records indicate he was born in the June quarter of 1888.

I'm still waiting for someone to kick mine ...

No, I don't have that - the online BMD records currently go up to WW2, so sometime after that I would suggest.

Brian:

Do you have any of Dr. George Oldroyd's music? He was teacher to Stanley Vann of Peterborough fame.

I have the 'Three Liturgical Preludes' (wonderful stuff!), which, in any case, would presumably be still under copyright anyway.

I know he wrote several services -which were often used at Peterborough- and the 'Mass of the Quiet Hour'.

Just wondering... thanks!

Hi Jason, all I have is "Le Prie-Dieu" which is a gorgeous litttle meditation, I will scan it for you and obviously put it in the organ thread.

Paul Corder (1879 - 1942) Was the son of Frederick Corder and was regarded as one of his leading students. Wrote a number of orchestral works, which have remained unpublished, and generally unknown. Corder was a close friend of Arnold Bax, and dedicatee of his fourth Symphony. He was Professor of Composition at the Tobias Matthay School.

Someone kindly posted the preludes earlier on this thread...here is his Five Transmutations on an original theme.

Someone mentiond this composer's piano concerto to me the other day......so here's another small piece...by Felix Borowski (1872 - 1956), the Danse Hongroise.
