Roger Cuthbert Quilter (1 November 1877 – 21 September 1953) was a British composer, known particularly for his art songs. His songs, which number over a hundred, often set music to text by William Shakespeare and are a mainstay of the English art song tradition.

Quilter wrote mostly songs, but there are a few piano pieces, some orchestral pieces and some incidental music to theatrical works. ( Suite from “As you like it”)

  There are a few chamber works, too: these are almost always arrangements of his other pieces. 

Probably his best known orchestral work is Children’s Overture.
