Not sure what to say?

I am the former principal flute of the BBC Radio Orchestra (1973-76) where I first met Angela. She wrote special arrangements for the orchestra and several had important flute parts which she wrote for me. When I left the orchestra I met her regularly in the studios of London and I played for her on "The Slipper and the Rose' and also "Watership Down". A truly great musician and a wonderful person. A great loss to the international musical world. She will be missed.

My deepest sympathies are with her loved ones. Angela was a generous and inspiring friend. I will miss her more than I can ever say.

Angela: A very great lady, a towering musician, and a wonderful friend and inspiration. I will miss you more than I can say.

Angela was a congenial neighbor who carried herself with great dignity. Her music graces our home on many occasions.

Very sad to hear of her passing. She´s a great loss for the world of film music. I will pray for her

My Deepest sympathies are with her family and loved ones.
I was so fortunate to have been in contact with Miss Morley the past several years, as we shared our love of music, especially hers.
I will listen to her music today and forever in her honor.
