Since ApIvor was born in Ireland, I am not sure if he should be addressed as British. MarkBeer 08:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

He was born in Ireland of Welsh parents, but the family moved back to Wales when he was five. He then resided in Britain for the rest of his life. I would say that's a pretty strong reason for calling him a British composer. Note also that the Guardian obituary calls him "a British pioneer of modernist trends from the continent".Matve 10:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Then I believe it is better to tell the origin of his parents to eliminate the confusion. I have made corresponding edition. MarkBeer 03:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Makes sense. I can live with that! Matve 15:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
