Can someone help me with the pronounciation of the composer's name of this wonderful composition? Thank you!

Hi Howard --
Looks like you have a stumper there.
Tell you what, I will ask a Swedish friend of mine how to say it, OK?

THANK YOU SUSAN!!!
This will avoid me much embarassment the next time i have to read it out in public! (know your composer's name before attempting to learn the piece!)

OK -- here it is!
My Swedish friend says "Lillebror" means "little brother", and is pronounced like the English "LIL - eh - broar" (accent on the first syllable).
"Söderlundh" is "SIR - der - loon - d", accent also on the first syllable. The "SIR" vowel is actually not quite an "I", but sort of a rounded-I sound (say"sir" and round your mouth while you say it). The "loond" is like the last part of the word, "balloon," with a "d" attached.
Good luck!
Susan
