90th Anniversary Year
1999 gave the Trust the opportunity to make orchestras,
choirs, singers and instrumentalists aware of this notable
year. Many of the composer's arrangements and compositions
were performed, not only in the UK but through many parts
of the world including USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The first complete performance of the composer's "Requiem"
took place in Abergavenny, South Wales, UK in April 1999.

These are gradually increasing in number. SCD2208 is devoted
entirely to the composer's enormous output of solo songs

CSACD3056 ( " " " )
HAVPCD227 (National Youth Choir of Wales) |

Six
Pieces for Gamba or Cello
The President of the Trust, Megan Thomas, and the Editor,
Terence Gilmore-James, were delighted to receive the return
of the copyright of "Six Pieces for Gamba/Cello and
Piano" which was then published by the Trust in the
summer of 2000. The final item ("Repose") was
also published separately since this was felt to be an ideal
programme 'filler' or 'encore'.
Arts Council of Wales Lottery
Grant and Fundraising
In the autumn of 1999 the Trust was granted a generous
award from the ACW Lottery Division, so that the final project
of publications of the composer's music could be fulfilled.
The necessary minimum 10% matchfunding has now been raised
from donations and the Trustees hope to complete the last
7% (£3000) through appeals to various organizations
and the general public. All contributions would be much
appreciated.
