Music: Gerard Victory biography

I just stumbled across Dr. David C.F. Wright's biography of the impressive Irish composer Gerard Victory (1921-1995), which he summarizes in this manner:

"What we have in Gerard Victory is a largely unknown but distinguished and prolific composer. He has nine operas, nine works for solo instrument and orchestra, much choral and vocal music, chamber music and songs to his name. Above all, he has a marvellous and unfailing capacity for communication to which all his works testify."
