'''Herbert''' Norman '''Howells''' (1892-1983) [[English]] [[composer]], [[organ|organist]] and educator, was born and began his musical training - like so many contributors to the musical fabric of early and mid twentieth century culture - in the west country of England. Like [[Ivor Gurney]], only two years his senior and life-long friend, his first “job” was playing the organ at [[Gloucester]] [[Cathedral]].

His music is well crafted, delicate yet often [[rhapsody|rhapsodic]] and approachable though firmly rooted in the twentieth century. These days it is well served on CD.
