Herbert Howells(1892-1983): a Catalogue of the Orchestral and Choral Music

[Dundonnell]

I did actually know of Oldham as a chorus-master in Scotland. I think that he was Director of Music/Organist of the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Edinburgh at one time.

And you might have met the name of Sam Akpabot on a Marco Polo cd with African, most South-African, compositions. In his case some Nigerian dances, IIRC. I'm also quite sure you knew Nicola LeFanu - I still have to check whether she really studied with Howells.

[Dundonnell]

Well...yes, I had heard of Nicola Le Fanu as the daughter of Elizabeth Maconchy

Never heard any of her music though.

Thank you for the information on Arthur Oldham, John!
His carol (or carol-anthem?) 'Remember, O thou Man' is still quite popular with choral societies. Anyway, it's one of my christmas favourites. I wish I knew more works. Has anything been recorded apart from Remember?
