Youtube suggested a work by a composer I hadn't heard of before that I quite liked.  Henry Matusovich Wagner (1922-2000) incidentally the same years as my father.  The only work of his I could find was "Eternally Alive" (1959) for orchestra and worldless choir written the year my parents were married.  I found his style moving and reminded me a little of Shostakovich.  Does anyone else know more about him or his other works?  There is very little information about this composer from a google search.

There's a bit about him on the Facebook page of Beomsok Yi, who I guess is the conductor in the Youtube performance.  You get a lot more hits if you search on his name in Cyrillic - Генрих Матусович Вагнер.

Or on his name spelt "Genrikh Vagner".
