Roger Quilter (1877-1953) is one of England's finest artsong composers and his songs have remained firmly in the vocal repertoire since their appearance in the first half of the 20th century. In these songs he demonstrates an extraordinay skill in setting English poetry and shows what can be achieved within a miniature form.
