Further to one of Agnus_Dei's super uploads of the music of William Faulkes, I noticed that the Spring Song http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/29529 was dedicated by Faulkes to Reginald Goss-Custard. I therefore thought I would upload this charming little Gavotte by Goss-Custard. I believe it was originally an improvisation/encore at a recital he gave at St. Mary-le-Bow in the City of London.

Goss Custard (1877-1956) was the organist at St. Margarets's Westminster and the Alexandra Palace. He was a renowned recitalist and as such toured extensively in North America. He is mostly remembered for his many transcriptions of orchestral works, (http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/16981) especially Wagner, but he also composed a number of pieces for recital use.

His brother Harry was the first organist of the newly built Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
