Anybody heard of Malcolm Forsythe?

Fellow listees,

For years now, I have been trying to trace a piece that I had partially
recorded off the radio for Brass Quintet. That was all the information I
had - not good.

Somehow I discovered that the performance was was by the Melbourne Brass
Ensemble and after chasing up their entire discography, I discovered that
the piece was "Golyardes Grounde" by Malcolm Forsythe (1972). Next problem,
who is this guy?

I have looked in Oxford Guide to Music, and Australian Music (just in case)
and the Cambridge Guide to 20thC Music with no luck. Encyclopaedia
Brittanica is no good and an exhaustive search of the Internet brought up
little information apart from a Symphony No. 2 performed by the Thunder Bay
Symphony Orchestra (in Minnesota?).

Any information on him or where I could get a score of this piece would be
most helpful. It's a lovely little thing, reminiscent of a 20thC
Pachelbel's Canon and quite difficult.

thanks

Rolf Miezitis
