[eschiss1]

Out of curiosity, any relation to French organist/composer Alexandre Cellier? I'm serious. (Wait, in 15 years he -will- be the grandfather of this person, so am guessing he doesn't exist yet- therefore they have articles about people who won't be born for 15 years, yet?... Wikipedia's notability standards have taken a plunge since I regularly edited there.)

Frank Bridge did write an unfinished symphony for strings, as well as much else extended, of course So that's one answer to the question. And until fairly recently - I have issues of Tempo magazine in which this was the case (with articles trying to bring him to the attention of a wider public) - was very definitely unsung (admittedly and fortunately imho no longer the case, relatively, that.)

Worldcat lists only 2 surviving/held in libraries compositions (other than books) by Crowest, one a song, one a communion service.

[Sydney Grew]

Here are the fourteen composers whose names began with "D":

65) Eugen François Charles D'Albert, pianist and composer.

   Son of Charles Louis Napoleon D'Albert, the well-known composer of dance music, by his wife Annie Rowell, of Newcastle-on-Tyne.

They include the operas "Der Rubin," composed 1892; "Ghismonda," produced at Dresden, 1895; "Gernot," "The Departure," "Kain," "Terra Bassa" "Flauto Solo," and "Tiefland" his most popular opera, which is constantly being performed in Germany and Austria; two piano concertos, a symphony, string quartets; a work for orchestra and chorus, founded on Otto Ludwig's "Man and Life"; overture "Hyperion," 1885; dramatic overture, 1887; sonatas, songs, etc.

His fame was fully established by his great work, "The Dream of Gerontius" (1900), "The Apostles" (1903), and "The Kingdom" (1906).

[eschiss1]

One of Esposito's 2? string quartets and his cello sonata are at IMSLP- thanks for the bio information
A single movement of Ellicott's 2nd piano trio was published in  a recent volume- I don't know what happened to the rest of it, not having seen the volume. I wonder if the full parts of some of some of her cantatas that Novello published in vocal score in the 1880s-90s survive... I know of her because of the brief piece included on that volume of cello works on Dutton.

[secondfiddle]

A fascinating listing.

Under the 'B's H Balfour-Gardiner should not be hyphenated as he is Henry Balfour Gardiner, known to his friends as just Balfour Gardiner.  I'm fairly sure he is in the New Grove under Gardiner. I wonder how the hyphen originated.

[britishcomposer]

I've become a fan of these lists! Thanks, Sidney! 

So far my favourite is Paul Corder's "Dross," a wordless music-drama (1905) 

Is there any information to find about this particular piece? I don't suspect the music to reflect upon the meaning of the title... 
Well, 'dross' can mean a lot of things.

[Alan Howe]

Unnumbered, and not a composer, but worth including because of one remarkable experience he had:
   Gervase Elwes, tenor vocalist.
   His favourite music is "The Dream of Gerontius" and Brahms' songs, having met Brahms in Vienna in 1901.

Er, quite. Must have been Brahms' ghost...

[Sydney Grew]

Under the 'B's H Balfour-Gardiner should not be hyphenated as he is Henry Balfour Gardiner, known to his friends as just Balfour Gardiner.  I'm fairly sure he is in the New Grove under Gardiner. I wonder how the hyphen originated.

Ah yes - I thought the name was familiar! Thank you; I've amended the paragraph. "He relieved Delius of his financial worries by buying his house at Grez-sur-Loing and allowing him free tenancy for life." (Grove's)

And thanks to Mr. Barasi for pointing out the omission of Cecil Coles!!

. . .
So far my favourite is Paul Corder's "Dross," a wordless music-drama (1905) 

Is there any information to find about this particular piece? . . .

It is likely to be based on the 1896 adventure novel of the same name by Hugh Stowell Scott, who used the nom-de-plume "Henry Seton Merriman." The book begins with the hero being smuggled aboard a cross-channel ferry disguised as a grand piano, "snugly housed in one of Messrs. Erard's cases."

[JimL]

Unnumbered, and not a composer, but worth including because of one remarkable experience he had:
   Gervase Elwes, tenor vocalist.
   His favourite music is "The Dream of Gerontius" and Brahms' songs, having met Brahms in Vienna in 1901.

Er, quite. Must have been Brahms' ghost...

Maybe it was a "Dream of Brahms". 

[Sydney Grew]

Just seven composers listed under "F":

87) Eaton Faning.
   b. Helston, Cornwall, 1850.
   Father: a professor of music, from whom he received his first instruction on the piano and violin.
   Showed precocious ability, and played in public before he was five years old.
   His compositions are numerous, including church services, anthems, part songs, Harrow School songs, instrumental pieces, operettas and cantatas, as well as a symphony in C Minor and some chamber music; many of his part songs have become exceedingly popular.

Has written several operas and operettas: "Floretta" (1899); "Registry Office" (1900); Pianoforte Concerto in D (1900); symphonic poem, "Mowgli" (1907); "Summer Vision" (1908) and Mass, "St. Dominic" (1910); and about 145 other compositions.
   [Not in Grove's Dictionary.]

   [Grove's Dictionary gives his full name as "Herman van de Vinck" and maintains that his father was Dutch.]

90) Francis J. Foote, conductor and composer.
   Active in Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells.
   Compositions include Mass for choir, solo and orchestra, orchestral tone-poem, etc.
   [Not in Grove's Dictionary.]

91) Ernest Ford, composer and vocal teacher.
   b. Warminster, Wilts, 1858.
   Son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ford (née Alsor).

   Has recently (1912) published a comprehensive work upon the "History of Music in England" (Sampson Low).
   [Grove's Dictionary tells us that "His Short History of Music in England (London, 1912) is informative on Sullivan and late 19th-century musical life." That must be the work in question; there is no mention either in the British Library catalogue or elsewhere of a separate "comprehensive" history. It can be retrieved from the Internet Archive HERE, and a vocal score (piano reduction) of "Jane Annie" is available FROM THE SAME SITE.]

92) Myles Birket Foster, organist and composer.

   Father: Birket Foster, famous water-colour artist.
   Well known as composer of much beautiful church music, services, anthems, cantatas, besides symphonies and overtures.

He also published two books: "Anthems and Anthem Composers" (London 1901 - it may be retrieved HERE),  and a "History of the Philharmonic Society of London, 1813-1912" (London, 1912 - HERE). The father's full name appears to have also been Myles Birket Foster, and he published a great many books.]

93) Herbert Fryer, pianist and composer.
   b. London, 1877.
   Father: George H. Fryer, insurance broker.
   e. at Merchant Taylors' School.
   Has composed many pianoforte pieces, etc.
   [Not in Grove's Dictionary.]

[Jimfin]

No Foulds, then! I suppose he was only about 33

[eschiss1]

I am guessing that while Foulds' output was fairly substantial by 1913, the composers in here were (I am guessing, again, but judging from the title etc.) fairly well-known quantities in 1913 and that may have only become true for Foulds with his World Requiem on its premiere- and that wasn't until 1923.  Still, haven't yet read MacDonald's biography, and know I will enjoy doing so as I have his others...

[Sydney Grew]

No Foulds I fear, nor Vaughan Williams; but "Von Holst" is already present, as are both Schönberg (5 orchestral pieces) and Stravinsky (Firebird).

I was going to ask if Nicolas Gatty was related to composer Alfred Scott-Gatty (1847-1918), but his father was Reginald Gatty, one of Alfred's brothers, so the answer is yes.
The Ganz category at IMSLP has 3 brief compositions by him at present as well as what I hope is a somewhat cleaned-up copy of the scan of his memoirs, btw... (nicht ganz viel...)
