British Music | Organ White No known disability No known religious affiliation Heterosexual Fredric Bayco was an English organist and composer of light music, best known for his Tudor pastiche "Elizabethan Masque". After war service in the Royal Air Force he became organist and director of music at Holy Trinity Church, Paddington, and also taught organ and musical appreciation at St Gabriel's College, London. The Elizabethan Masque, a piece looking back on the ceremony and etiquette of the first Elizabethan era in the early years of the second, was composed in 1957. Other pieces that became well known include "Lady Beautiful", and his marches "Royal Windsor" and "Marche Militaire". Like many composers of the light music genre, he contributed a number of pieces to music libraries, and as a result his pieces "Inferno" and "Finger of Fear" have ended up being frequently used in programmes such as Count Duckula, The Ren & Stimpy Show and SpongeBob SquarePants. Many of his KPM library compositions have a historical or martial feel, for example the mock-heroic "Joust" Other pieces appear to have unusual titles, for example "Bear in a Buggy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Bayco (2023) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHeharper 7/17/2013 RAHAKirkbride 2/9/2023 bd88db2e-1514-490e-9cfb-b8abd95cc238
