The Valley of the Severn, within a radius of thirty miles of the City of Gloucester, holds a unique position in this country's history, in that it has been the birth-place of many of the great English Musicians of the twentieth century. We may cite the following names-Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Hubert Parry, Sir Herbert Brewer, Dr. Basil Harwood, Gustav Holst, Vaughan Williams, Herbert Howells, nor must we forget the great musical historian, Sir Henry Hadow.
