Composer Directory

www.rmjs.co.uk

Introduction

This area of www.rmjs.co.uk is run in conjunction with the Lichfield Cathedral Music List. It currently contains details of composers whose work(s) are in the repertoire of the Cathedral Choir.

The list of composers is growing on a regular basis, and articles from any contributors regarding a composer will be considered for inclusion (credit will be duly attributed). It is ultimately the intention that information will also be available here for specific works featuring in the repertoire: giving translations where appropriate, placing works into their historical context, and highlighting gems of which people may not be generally aware. The list of good intentions could be endless, and as such if you feel that you have any contributions which could be built into this compilation, please e-mail me with the article text.

Contents

To jump directly to a composer's details please select one from the drop down list; if this does not work please follow a link here. Relevant links between composers are illustrated in the body of the texts, but this page can always be returned to by clicking on the word "Composers" in the top left hand corner of every page.
