He followed Holst as director of music at St Paul's Girls' School (1936), and became professor of music at London University (1952–62). He is best known for his choral works, especially the Hymnus paradisi, which combine an alert sense of 20th-c musical developments with a firm foundation in the English choral tradition. |
