The last movement is very 'catchy' rather in the spirit of Mike Oldfield. Amazingly I heard it live at the Festival Hall in London decades ago. I think that it is 'Symphony No 1' but as with Holst's 'First Choral Symphony' I don't think that there is a second.

Speaking of contemporary English composers, you mentioned Jaz Coleman in the "Top 11 Contemporary Composers" thread. As I am not familiar with him, could you be so kind as to point out where any of his music is available? Thanks in advance. :)

David Bedford's Symphony is great fun.
Holy crap I love this! The trumpet theme in the finale is the Blazing Saddles theme song!!!

Also Hubert Clifford 'Symphony 1940'. Only one he wrote I think.
