Muriel
Herbert (1897-1984)
was a British composer,
pianist and singer. She
studied at the Royal
College of Music, where
she met Charles Stanford
and Roger Quilter. She
wrote many songs for
Voice and Piano in her
early life, as well as
some instrumental and
orchestral works, but
stopped composing after
her husband left her in
1939. Her works were
largely unappreciated
until twenty years after
her death, but they have
now, quite rightly,
become the subject of a
keen and enthusiastic
revival with a growing
fan base.
The Lake
Of Innisfree was
one of her most popular
works. It is a setting of
a poem by the Irish poet
W. B. Yates
(1865-1939).
