Another query from the Hawkins archive.  There is a piano quintet in C minor.  If anyone knows anything about Durrant, dates when the quintet was composed I would like to know please.

According to http://musicsack.com/PersonFMTDetail.cfm?PersonPK=100073898 (http://musicsack.com/PersonFMTDetail.cfm?PersonPK=100073898), this might be Frederick Thomas Durrant, British composer born 1895 in Beer, Devon County. (No idea of his death date.) No idea about composition dates, but he may have been active as late as the 1950s (the publication date of some of his sacred works listed in WorldCat.)
