Willeby has gone to an excellent source for his musical inspiration," wrote a critic once, "for quite his best things are identified with some of the most exquisite verses written by W. E. Henley. . . . Mr. Henley writes literature that is almost music, and Mr. Willeby writes music that seems almost to possess a literary quality. There you have a combination that is almost ideal." One of Willeby's most recent songs is a setting of Richard Le Gallienne's "Soldier, take my heart with you." |
