Repertoire in dialogue
Henry Thomas Smart, nephew of the conductor Sir George Smart, gave up the law for music and in 1831 became organist of Blackburn parish church, then in London of St Luke’s, Old Street, and, from 1864 until his death, of St Pancras New Church. Almost blind in his last years, he composed by dictation; he is remembered for the hymn tune Regent Square and for a large body of organ music.
