Subject: Non-folk music help: Healey Willan
I've been given a challenge, and I'm asking "Mudcatdom Assembled" for assistance. A friend of a friend is trying to locate the score or manuscript for a piece called "Epilogue", written in the 40's by Healey Willan. It's for an organist who studied with Willan (who died in '68) at the Royal Conservatory in England.
The organist(at the Napier Cathedral in Wellington, New Zealand, master organist at New Zealand Broadcasting and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra) had, at the time of his retirement, given his copy of the score to one of his students. Now, he dearly like to revisit the music, and his cousin (the aforementioned friend-of-a-friend) would likw to help out.
I'm doing a fair bit of online searching and sleuthing, but would be grateful for any help. What say, Mudcatians?
