Mark Edgley Smith
Mark Edgley-Smith he hyphen disappeared at some point(20 March 1955 – 26 July 2008) was a British composer. He was born in Wimbledon and educated at Tiffin School, Kingston upon Thames. There it was soon apparent that he was equally gifted as artist (which was how he would later earn his living), composer, and litterateur/wit. It was at Tiffin that he began to compose seriously and had his first composition lessons, from David Nield. He won a scholarship (1974) to read music at the Queen's College, Oxford. Edgley Smith's style could be diatonically tuneful, as in the ''Vancouver Songbook'', a project of part-songs for the Vancouver Bach Children’s Chorus. At other times it was highly complex and chromatic (''The House of Sleep''). Sometimes these extremes can be found in a single work, as in the ''five madrigals to poems by e e cummings'' (1994), which won a competition for new choral music and were later released on CD. In 2001 his setting of Lewis Carroll’s '' Jabbe ...
