Sir Ernest Bullock, 1890-1979: Professor of music, University of Glasgow and principal, Scottish National Academy of Music)

The music manuscripts of Sir Ernest Bullock Mus.Doc., LLD., FRCO, FRCM, Hon. RAM, FRSCM, FRSAMD held by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland represent the majority of the music he composed after the Second World War, along with some earlier material. Many, though not all, of his earlier manuscripts were destroyed by enemy action in May 1941, and the bulk of what survives dates from after his appointment to Glasgow.

After appointments at Manchester Cathedral, and St Michael's College Tenbury, he became organist and choirmaster at Exeter Cathedral, moving to Westminster Abbey in 1928. In 1941 he was appointed Gardiner Professor of Music at the University of Glasgow and Principal of the Scottish National Academy of Music. In 1952 he became principal of the Royal College of Music, retiring in 1960.
