I suspect the others could be Bax and Butterworth?

No. They may be among the cowpats, but they are not involved here.

No. They may be among the cowpats, but they are not involved here.

So, to recap, are we looking for three cowpat composers each with a W surname rather than three cowpat composers and a common word beginning with W in their symphonies?

You should be looking for three cowpat composers, only one (already identified) with a W surname, linked by works (not symphonies) involving a W.

I am thinking, possibly Delius, not sure, or Ireland, not sure, will look into it!

Ireland is a second one required. I don't think Delius was ever considered part of the "cowpat" school.

Well, initially I thought VW Willow Wood and Ireland There is a Willow but the third cannot be Bridge There is a Willow aslant a Brook, so, no, Bridge was not considered cowpat was he?

No, not at all edgy. A little too difficult I think! I will leave it to others I think.

Off topic, the Housman poem starts

On Wenlock Edge the wood's in trouble
His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves;
The gale, it plies the saplings double,
And thick on Severn snow the leaves.

This is very much ON topic (at least for two of the composers).

I don't deserve this - are we talking Butterworth? Moeran? Gurney? See I have no clue not edgy or cool!

Gurney is the third to add to the two previously identified.
