source file: mills2.txt Date: Mon, 1 Jul 1996 00:42:32 -0700 Subject: British composers From: Franck Jedrzejewski Gregory (in #763) quotes british composers (Brian Ferneyhough, Michael Finnissy, James Dillon and Chris Dench). This composers work with microtones. I would like to add to the list Nigel Osborne, born in 1948. But the "father" of all, is certainly John Foulds (1880-1939). He had writed a String Quartet with quarter tones in 1896 (today, lost), and had been interrested in indian Music (see Lyra Celtica, opus 50, Concerto for wordless medium voice and orchestra). In 1930, he was in London, writing his book Music Today. In 1935 he established in India where he died in 1939. -- franck.
