Cyril Arthur Bennett Horsford FRCS (25 January 1876 – 16 December 1953) was for many years a leading authority on the anatomy and physiology of the throat.[1] A passion for music led him to publish a work for singers, Why Voices Fail, after which he was much sought after by the leading singers of his day.[1] He later became Laryngologist to the Royal Choral Society, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Society of Musicians.[1][2]
