Ok, he's alive (as far as I know), and still active as an organist. But, fear not; his music is wonderfully melodic, and speaks with the voice of the late 19th century. I've no idea if the man would consider this a compliment, but there you are.
I came across his Evening Service for Trebles some 30 odd years ago - on TV, of all places. It was paired with the equally lovely Agnus Dei by Douglas Hopkins (of whom I know nothing - but would like to).
Anyway, I have never found a commercial recording of either work, and mores the pity. All I have is a video tape (with rather dodgy audio), and a memory...
I could upload  them, but seeing as how they are both late 20th century works I'm afraid someone might hit me.

To the question: Have any here come across either work, or any other substantial pieces by this overlooked composer? The pieces certainly deserve a wider audience..... in my humble opinion.
