#2 from a suite from the Fairy Play 'The Palace of Cards'' (1916) 
------------------------------------------------------------- 
I am indebted to MusicWeb International ( http://bit.ly/1mS3D47 ) for information about the British composer James Lyon (1872-1949), who was apparently self-taught as a musician but achieved an Oxford doctorate and then went on to have a career as a teacher and composer, eventually dying in Australia. Although the cited article describes 'The Palace of Cards' as an opera, this suite seems to have been derived from incidental music to a play by Henrietta Leslie (?-1946) produced at the Repertory Theatre, Liverpool in December 1916.  I am not sure if Patience in this context is a person, or a solo card game - or maybe both!  Whatever, this is an attractive waltz.
