(b ?Devon, c1400; d ?Exeter, ?1478/9). English composer. He was ordained priest in 1427. He was a vicar-choral of Exeter Cathedral from 1427 to about 1430 and again from 1449 to about 1478. In addition to his cathedral post, he was also rector of Plymtree, Devon, from 1435 to 1477, an indication of his privileged status. He died probably between midsummer 1478 and Michaelmas 1479. Smert composed a number of carols in the Ritson Manuscript (GB-Lbl Add.5665), some of which are ascribed jointly to him and to another Devon musician, John Trouluffe, and must therefore antedate Trouluffe's death in about 1473. all for 2 or 3 voices
