Bøker av Stephen H. Smith

This present offering is a selection of my verse written during the past twenty years. I have kept the rhyme and metre simple, on the whole, but have tried to add just enough variety to avoid monotony. Whether or not I have succeeded is for the reader to decide.

My book begins with a brief consideration of what we mean by "English music" and what factors are involved. I explain the reasons behind my choice of composers for consideration, and for the omissions from the survey.
