Victor Hely-Hutchinson (26 December 1901 – 11 March 1947) was a British composer, conductor, pianist and music administrator.
A Place in the Cupboard
In Victor Hely-Hutchinson’s "Old Mother Hubbard set in the manner of Handel" (1932) the rhyme's opening stanza is treated in the style of an oratorio. – adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “Old Mother Hubbard”
V. Hely-Hutchinson’s comedy kitsch,
Fills an irreverent repertoire niche.
His song a la Handel to verse from the nursery,
Has earned him some lines for his birth’s anniversary.
