Repetition,teribus.



   This thread seems to me now to have answered the question, on the assumptions that:-

   a)   the question can correctly be answered by lots of names - there's nothing in the question that means the answer has to be just one,      and

   b)   the question could have been "Whose music most proclaims itself to be English?" and the questioner's meaning would be the same.


   I'd repeat the vote for Anon. and Trad. on the grounds that they are least likely to have had non-English influences.

   (Insofar,that is. as uninfluenced English is a coherent,sensible concept. So 'least likely' is a vital phrase.)



    [I wonder where the original qhestioner be,and if they be alright]
