David Charles Johnson (27 October 1942 in Edinburgh – 30 March 2009 in Edinburgh) was a Scottish composer and a scholar of 18th century Scottish music.
 Dr David Johnson was ‘an internationally recognised scholar’, whose work did much to rediscover and reinvent 18th century Scottish music, and set it in its historical context.
 Johnson’s key legacy is to leave behind a body of writing and editions which throws light on the music and wider social life of 18th century lowland Scotland, its influences and tastes, and the key musical figures within it.
Leevi Antti Madetoja (] ; 17 February 1887, Oulu – 6 October 1947, Helsinki) was a Finnish composer, music critic, conductor, and teacher of the late-Romantic and early-modern periods; he is generally considered to be among the most significant Finnish composers to emerge after Jean Sibelius, under whom he studied privately from 1908–10.
 The core of Madetoja's oeuvre consists of a set of three symphonies (1916, 1918, and 1926), arguably the finest early-twentieth century additions to the Finnish canon of any composer, Sibelius excepted.
 As central to Madetoja's legacy is his opera, "The Ostrobothnians" (1924), dubbed Finland's "national opera" following its successful premiere and, even today, a stalwart of its repertoire.
 Madetoja's other notable works include an "Elegia" for strings (1909); "The Garden of Death" (1918–21), a three-movement suite for solo piano; the "Japanisme" ballet-pantomime, "Okon Fuoko" (1927); and, a second opera, "Juha" (1935).
March law (Anglo-Scottish border) (or Marcher law, or laws and customs of the marches) was a system of customary international law dealing with cross-border dispute settlement, operating during the medieval and early-modern periods in the area of the Anglo-Scottish border or Anglo-Scottish marches - the word "march" being the Old English form of the Old French word "marche" meaning "boundary" (the Anglo-Welsh border and the Anglo-Irish marches had their own versions of "the Law of the Marches").
 They were " essentially a set of regulations for the prosecution of offences committed by the inhabitants of one country inside the territory of the other, and for the recovery of property stolen or lent across their common border."

Toivo Timoteus Kuula (7 July 1883, Vaasa – 18 May 1918, Viipuri) was a Finnish composer and conductor of the late-Romantic and early-modern periods, who emerged in the wake of Jean Sibelius, under whom he studied privately from 1906 to 1908.
 The core of Kuula's oeuvre are his many works for voice and orchestra, in particular the "Stabat mater" (1914–18; completed by Madetoja), "The Sea-Bathing Maidens" (1910), "Son of a Slave" (1910), and "The Maiden and the Boyar's Son" (1912).
 In addition he also composed to "Ostrobothnian Suites" for orchestra and left an unfinished symphony at the time of his death in 1918.
