 Percy Scholes's "Listener's Guide to Music" (originally published in 1919) was similarly brought into the new department as the first of a series of books on music appreciation for the listening public.Scholes's continuing work for OUP, designed to match the growth of broadcast and recorded music, plus his other work in journalistic music criticism, would be later comprehensively organized and summarized in the "Oxford Companion to Music".Perhaps most importantly, Foss seemed to have a knack for finding new composers of what he regarded as distinctively English music, which had broad appeal to the public.
