Superb work done on some very rarefield British composers. Well done Martin. I have squirrelled together (no original research) the following information about Bryson. I wonder, since the Second Symphony was a success in the Carnegie Awards whether the Carnegie scheme published the Second Symphony?

BRYSON, Robert Ernest [Glasgow, 31.3.1867 - St. Briavels, Gloucestershire, 20.4.1942]
Bryson was an amateur composer who had pursued a career in the cotton industry as a member of the Liverpool Cotton Association. Arthur Eaglefield Hull considered Bryson’s music modern in texture and finished in style. Bryson was privately educated with his musical tutoring being given by Dr W. H. Hunt of Birkenhead. He succeeded Stanford as President of the Roosevelt Concert Club. He was a keen gardener and member of the Royal Society’s Club and the Liverpool University Club. He lived at Yewtree Cottage, St Briavels, Gloucestershire.
