... would be a worthy addition to your list. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I could help. I could put together something biographical, but when it comes to the music, I'm only a listener, and have no experience of music theory. I'm not sure how deep you want to get into the *mechanics* of the music, if you like...

Basically, in musical terms I really only need someone who can better describe a piece than by saying: "Then it goes 'dum duh-duh-duh-dum'", which is about my level. I read back some of my descriptions, and I sound like a very confused wine taster.
Biographies and filmographies are as useful as the music, especially for composers I'm less familiar with. If you want to write the article, I'll add a link, and your user name, to the index page.

Excellent, that would be great 
I'm not sure if you received my email, but I've started an entry at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A590096 - if you could put a link to that, that would be great
