Photos of Composers/other Musicians!

[Tony Halstead]

Howells's hair parting has moved in your photo ! why are they standing in a field ?

Maybe the negative was printed the wrong way round..?

'The three males', left to right:
1) possibly Herbert Howells
2) VW
2) Rutland Boughton?

Absolutely, Tony!

So that we could have a picture of RVW, Howells and (?) standing in a field. Very English.



There's two composers here, too (though one was also a conductor).

Eugene Goossens on the left; Holst at the piano?

Indeed. Hidden behind Holst is a sturdy man wearing a hat - another conductor, Percy Pitt.

Not particularly clear, but there are three composers here.

Well, I don't think I've ever heard of Juventino Rosas, but the piece is very familiar.

- better known to me as "The Loveliest Night of the Year" from the film The Great Caruso:

He was friend and was ex-RAM, like Bantock (which almost certainly meant he was a composition pupil of Frederick Corder). It's Joseph Holbrooke. The chap on the right is Cyril Scott.

Most of them. I'll have a look.

I've looked and it says Harlech Castle!! I'd never have known! It must be just after WW1.
