Geographic composer abc game

[Krummhorn]

Hi, ON ... I can't find any x, y, or z Danish composers either ... maybe rojo or another poster might have one of those to submit. If it turns out that there are no Danish composers with those letters, then ON gets gets to choose the next country, which starts with the letter "E" (continents excluded).
Once the new country is selected we will list those composers A-Z, or as close as possible.

Couldn`t find any X or Y, but here`s-

Z - Walter Zacharias[FONT=verdana,geneva,arial,sans-serif]

Ø - Hanne Ørvad

Å - Martin Åkerwall

I think that ON should pick the next country; I`ve already chosen one before...

In which case, just follow Krummhorn`s instructions, ON...

OK. I propose England, but not Great Britain as a whole. This way we'll need to be careful. Composers born in England.

 

[Ouled Nails]

Assuming that the country in question is acceptable, I begin with Richard Addinsell, born in London, 1904, author of the Warsaw Concerto. If it's not a politically acceptable choice, then tell me if you wish to go with Estonia instead. Cheers.

Granville Bantock, 1868-1946. Try his excellent Celtic symphony.

 

[Krummhorn]

Great choice, ON ... thanks for the next country selection.

Jeremiah Clarke (1674-1707) Born and died in England

 

[Frederik Magle]

Oh, I'm late to the game...

(Anyhow, Danish composers with the last name beginning with Y: Rachel Yatzkan (yeah, I know she doesn't sound Danish, but she's member of the Danish Composers' Society . I don't know anyone starting with X though...)

An English composer: Frederick Delius (1862-1934)

What happened to the L?

Matthew Locke, a baroque composer would ahve been a possibility.
