Criteria

 

The criteria I have been operating to are: composers who were born or worked on Merseyside, or who are currently living or working on Merseyside, or established composers with strong Merseyside connections.  I am accepting composers who have at least one commercially published work, or graduates in composition who are actively seeking performances of their works, or students in composition whose supervisor or head of department recommend specific works as worthy of public performance or composers whose works are include in the repertory of regular public performers.  I have also included all composers mentioned in Taylor.  I am now adding all composers who have had a work performed on Merseyside as part of the celebrations for 2007 & 2008.

 

I am including details of up to ten seminal works in different genre for composers whose works are not listed in the current edition of Grove or by their publisher and who do not have their own web site.  For other composers follow the links provided to obtain details of compositions and biographies.
