I've amended the information on Howells' religious views and the performance of Hymnus Paradisi based on information in Spicer. Wilus 11:35, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I slightly altered the area regarding the reception of Howells' Piano Concerto #2. The cold reception did not completely muffle his compositions, as we can see by the release dates of his compositions in the List of compositions by Herbert Howells. It was just that none of these works, besides Lambert's Clavichord, were significant works of any stature:

In his twenties and thirties his compositional output focussed chiefly on orchestral and chamber music, including two piano concertos. The hostile reception given to the second of these in 1925 largely silenced Howells' compositional activities for almost ten years. Culveyhouse 10:35, 10 Feb 2007 (UTC)
