Elizabeth Poston (1905–1987) was a notable British composer and musicologist, recognized for her contributions to choral and orchestral music, as well as her work in the field of folk music. Her genre primarily encompasses classical music, with a particular emphasis on choral and liturgical compositions. Poston is best known for her piece "The Fox," a song cycle for voice and piano, which showcases her ability to weave narrative and lyrical elements into her compositions. She also composed a significant number of choral works, including settings of traditional hymns and folk songs, which reflect her interest in preserving and promoting English folk music. In addition to her compositional work, Poston was an influential figure in music education and scholarship, serving as a lecturer and contributing to various music organizations. Her efforts to advocate for and arrange folk music helped to revive interest in this genre during the mid-20th century. Poston's impact on music lies in her dual role as a composer and musicologist, fostering a greater appreciation for English musical heritage while enriching the choral repertoire with her innovative arrangements and compositions.
