More from the British composer Leonard Butler (1869-1943). I know little about him except that he was born in Dorking, studied with Ebenezer Prout, later became a professor of piano at the Guildhall School in London, and died in St. Austell. He seems to gave specialised in liturgical and organ music, but also wrote some picturesque piano suites - rather in the manner of Alfred Mullen and Percy Elliott. He had a real gift for short lively light pieces. This somewhat Elgarian rhapsody bears no dedication, and maybe suggests a walk round a darkening church.
