Composer, teacher and writer on music; studied under Stanford and Parry at the Royal College of Music. Like his contemporaries he drew on the Tudor music and folk-song revival, but his work is distinct in its depth of feeling and humour; among many chamber and choral works are Piano Quartet (1916) and Hymnus Paradisi (1938).
