Stephen Hale Marsh was born in the United Kingdom and lived in other countries, including Japan, but thirty productive years of his career were spent in Australia. ^[1] He gave popular lectures on music. ^{[2] [3]} He was fondly regarded as a pioneer of music. ^[4] He taught singing in Sydney, ^[5] where he was said to raise the expectations of the audience. ^[6] Although he was initially an ally of fellow composer Isaac Nathan, ^[7] he later became a rival.

Marsh took part in the inauguration of the Victorian Academy of Music. ^[8] Marsh wore his beard in the chin-strap style. ^[9] He played and wrote music for the harp. ^[10]
