The world of the harp was saddened by the
deaths of two composers for the instrument
during this past year. Astrid Ryterband informed
us of the death of her father, Roman Ryterband,
on 17 November 1979 in Palm Springs, California.
Robert Barclay, composer and partner in the
firm of Barger & Barclay, passed away 11 March
1980 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, following a
brief illness.
