And while we're on the subject of British composers, dare I mention 
Gustav Holst?  Planets, sure, but how about his choral stuff, 
like "This have I done for my true love"...  And being a loyal band 
person I have to throw in his "First Suite in E-flat" -- having 
actually played this, I have an even greater appreciation for Holst.  
(The "Intermezzo" has an unusually great part for piccolo.)

Must also throw my two Galleons into Rebecca's plumed hat for all the 
latest in "If We Survive"!  Sing on, minstrel!
