Title says it all. I'll say more clearly why I'm asking later, but is anyone familiar with the Scottish composer Cedric Thorpe Davie's music; choral, vocal, orchestral, chamber, etc? Just wonder how well known his work is.

Heard or played anything by him, post away.

I don't think his music is very well known nowadays. He wrote a lot of film scores and they sometimes come up. In my amateur orchestra I have played his "Diversions on a Tune by Dr Arne" which I think he originally wrote for NYOS. (Apparently a little old lady in the audience came up to him afterwards and asked him if he was Dr Arne ) We really enjoyed playing it and it went down well with the punters.

I also heard and liked his sonata for violin and piano played at St Andrews where he was Master of Music. His comment afterwards: "I didn't remember a note of it, but I thought it was damned good!" I was a student there -- he was quite a character.
