Do not remove John Taverner; he is in fact a different person from John Tavener.

This was previously annotated thus, with an incongruous note after Taverner's name: " (N.B. Should not be confused with previous entry) "

To me, this seems to be a note to prospective editors; as such, it belongs on the talk page, not on the main page.

Suggested article improvement:

• I don't know if this is standard, but dates b. and d. might enrich the list somewhat; in fact, given the evolution of music over time, it may make sense to divide them chronologically. I know it is not standard to list them chronologically, but we can have subheadings for different eras.

I have Elgar at List of Roman Catholic Church musicians because he was raised Catholic and did works by Newman. However Newman was an Anglican turned Catholic so maybe I misread. Should I take him off?--T. Anthony 10:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm he apparently did The Dream of Gerontius when Newman was a Cardinal. Although maybe he is like William Byrd and justly fits in both. What say you?--T. Anthony 10:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

He was a Catholic, but wrote for the Anglican church as well, as did Byrd and Tallis, so he and they probably belong on both lists. The title of this page is maybe a bit ambiguous, but when I started the list I meant composers who composed Anglican church music, rather than composers who were members of the Anglican church.

[edit] Alington

Cyril Alington has recently been added to the list, he is described as a hymn write, but the article seems to suggest that he was responsbile for words rather than music. anyone know any different?if not I'm inclined to remove him. David Underdown 09:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
