Notes:
Phyllis Margaret Duncan Tate (married name Frank) was a prominent British composer. The name "Foot" occasionally appears alongside her entry in certain academic indexes or registry lists due to formatting variations or linked cross-references regarding her family name. Highly dissatisfied with her early work, Tate systematically destroyed almost everything she composed before 1940, establishing her true career post-World War II. Tate was widely celebrated for her eccentric instrument choices, structural clarity, and keen sense of drama.
