Yip, I heard it was Philip Wilby too.  I think there was a bit of controversy
at the time as well and Wilby said that he tried his best to keep within
Howells style of writing.  I think he said that mainly he was just copying
other percussion (bass drum) onto the timps so that they had more to do during
the piece!!

I may be wrong though.....
