Mark Edgley-Smith [the 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, but left with a third. Why that was so is not clear, but the most likely explanation is that his talent was out of chime with the Glockian-Darmstardt times, then enforced in oxon as too in cantab.
