Edmund Rubbra
It is truly tragic that the marvellous riches of liturgical music are found less and less in the services they were meant to adorn, and more and more in secular concerts and recordings (although one is glad they are not entirely forgotten!). Also it is frustrating for those of us who want to write music for the Church that it should be accepted with such apparent reluctance.
