This Scottish composer has long intrigued me and I recently re-discovered the availability of this Ph.D thesis which may be of interest to somebody else other than the author and myself - http://theses.gla.ac.uk/75110/ ;)

I shall investigate this with great interest. I have a score of his Tam o'Shanter Overture, the only music of his that I "know" (I don't know it, really, only vaguely familiar with) but would like to find more. Nothing available on IMSLP, I see...

Aye, yet another prime candidate for the magic baton of John Andrews and the superlative production-values of Dutton, along with Mackenzie and Cowen (such shameless plugging, eh?). :D

(Sorry if that sounded like Julian to Sandy.) I'd put both Cowen and Mackenzie ahead of Drysdale, though. Still, all three are worthy!

I think I have a set of parts somewhere for the "Tam O'Shanter" overture. I will try to locate them. In any case, however, Birmingham City University has a set which anyone can borrow from the Encore Music Hire Library here: https://iaml-uk-irl.org/encore-21It is a wonderful resource. One used to be able to order via Inter-Library loan. The overture is a terrific piece. It deserves to get performed, and performed often IMHO.

BTW your O need never be H. ;)
