Everyone knows Graham Peel 's setting of ' In Summertime on Bredon ', but the rest of his music, though by no means unknown, deserves much wider popularity than it has won so far. A North Countryman born near Manchester in 1877, an old Harrow boy, and a graduate of University College, Oxford, Peel had the good luck to carry out his musical studies under Dr. Ernest Walker , one of the most enlightened and experienced of teachers. He has made a speciality of song writing; besides such song cycles as ' The Country Lover' and ' The Shropshire Lad', he has produced settings of many separate songs, all characterised by manly, straightforward sentiment and brightly melodious ideas.
