Sir Herbert Hamilton Harty (December 4, 1879 – February 19, 1941), British conductor, composer and accompanist, is known for the unmistakably Irish sound in many of his compositions, was a respected conductor, and was at one time considered the premier accompanist in London. Harty was born in Hillsborough, Ireland, the fourth of ten children of church organist William Michael Harty (1852–1918) and his wife, Annie Elizabeth, the daughter of Joseph Hamilton Richards, a soldier from Bray. <a href=
