Without the help of the following 'music lovers' across the world who helped by answering postings to newsgroups, gave practical help and advice and guided me in my quest it would not have been possible. I have been constantly amazed at how helpful my fellow music lovers are and how the Net allows conversations with people with whom it would be almost impossible otherwise.

Dave Lampson for allowing this contribution to be published and the work in setting up the pages.

Last but not least I would also like to thank my long suffering wife, KC, for putting up with me during the preparation of these pages.

Comments are Welcome: As the object of this contribution was primarily to stimulate interest in a group of neglected composers to the extent that the reader will want to explore their music by purchasing CD's or attending concerts I would appreciate any comments, suggestions or additional information!
