Simon Heffer has written an important article on the history and visibility of female composers, with a particular focus on Ina Boyle. Simon Heffer also gives his own extremely complimentary insights into Ina’s music, complimenting her orchestral writing on The Magic Harp (1919) and Colin Clout (1921). He notes the influence of her teacher, Ralph Vaughn Williams, but also highlights how her ‘idiom goes far beyond that of her teacher.’
