The chair of the Elgar Society has notified members of the death of Diana McVeagh, a noted authority on the music of Edward Elgar and a biographer of Gerald Finzi.
Diana was 98. Her interests extended far beyond English music and the Edwardian past and her wareness embraced new technology. She was a warm and encouraging presence.
A dozen years ago, members of the North American British Music Studies Association created a biennial Diana McVeagh Prize for Best Book on British Music.
