Michael Hurd composed sixty published scores and wrote twenty books on music, along with many articles, reviews and broadcasts. An acknowledged authority on British music, he played a major role in the revival of interest in both Ivor Gurney and Rutland Boughton. Actively involved in music-making around his Hampshire home and far beyond throughout a fifty-year career, his best-selling works for young performers form part of a lasting world wide legacy. These pages record Michael Hurd's achievements and pay tribute to his creative energy.
