Dear Graham,
rugu-L-uw-l
Lewis Foreman very kindly sent information regarding Gordon Jacob. Apparently he told a friend that he
had written dozens of occasional pieces for British and American bands and had quite forgotten many of
theml The Alexandra Palace Overture is most likely in this category, having probably been performed just
the once and put on one side.
Should you wish to contact Dr. Jacob's widow, Margaret Hyatt, you can do so through a mutual friend,
Geoffrey Ogram whose e-mail details are:
geoffograrnevingin. net
Neither Lewis nor his informants have a direct address, phone number or e-mail details for Ms Hyatt (she is
u6uut 30 years younger that Dr. J, he having married her after the death of his wife. She was probably a
student of his).
Hope this is of help,
Thanks for great weekend,
Love to Sue,
May the Forces be with you (the Armed Forces, that is! )
As ever,
Rod
