Butterworth

Born George Sainton Kaye Butterworth in 1885. He was, through a shared love of English folk music and his attendance at Trinity College Oxford, a friend of Vaughan Williams. His two most famous works A Shropshire Lad and The Banks of the Green River are both idealistically English and harken back to a pastoral ideal. Regrettably he died in World War One resulting in very few completed works and, arguably, the loss of one of England's greatest upcoming composers.
