Al - you should really seem out some of Butterworth's music - he composed some sublime pieces before, as Jim said, he was killed in WW1. If he had survived I am sure he would have been up there with Vaughan Williams and Elgar in the pantheon of great composers.
There is a wonderful, evocative film doing the rounds of small cinemas and folk festivals about his life and love of folk music which is very well worth seeing
