Peter Warlock used his pseudonym as a composer and his own name for his work as a musicologist. He was influenced personally and musically by Delius and did much to enrich the repertory of English solo song and choral music before his presumed suicide in 1930.

Instrumental Music
Among a variety of works, some little more than jeux d’esprit, the Capriol Suite, derived from French dances published by the pseudonymous Arbeau in the 16th century, retains an honoured place in English string-orchestra repertoire.

Vocal and Choral Music
Warlock’s songs, settings of carefully chosen texts, provide a varied repertoire in themselves. His choral music and vocal chamber music show the same literary discrimination and offer music of idiomatic distinction.
