The death of Peter Warlock in 1930 was one of the biggest losses that
British music has sustained. His extremely small output of instrumental music amounts to little more than charming though individual reflections of Delius, but as a song-writer he deserves a place among the greatest that Britain has ever produced.
If nationality in music counts tor anything at all, then Warlock counts for a great deal, for his songs are imbued with the very essence ot tne spirit of England; both his technique and his highly original idiom being firmly based on the great traditions of the Tudor .period, In short, he is one of the most English of English composers. One might say that in mind and spirit he was an Elizabethan, while his technique and idiom were a modern application of old methods.
