By the way, Chuck, I too like Bantock. The titles of his works are really quite "in vogue" for his era in England, although today we'd consider them rather precious. But he certainly had a unique "pastiche" approach to orchestral music that could be quite beautiful.
There were a who bunch of those lesser known Brits that I like -- Stanford, Potter, Parry, Bennett, many more. So sad that nobody has a chance to hear the music of those guys over here stateside. At least they get played on the radio over in England occasionally.
