#1 from 'Blaise (Sylvan suite) for piano' (published 1926) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Carlyon de Lyle' is a very evocative pseudonym used by the British composer Maud Wingate (1877-1958) for various songs and piano pieces published in the 1910s and 1920s. She was born in Lanarkshire (her father was a Scottish surgeon), but she moved to the Bristol area with her English mother after her father's early death. In some of her pieces she collaborated with her husband 'John Alleyne' (actually John Allen Bartlett (1861-1933)), whom she married in 1922, and who was also noted as an automatic writer at séances. The set of pieces from which this comes depicts the Blaise Castle Estate, in Bristol. Now a public park, with a museum in its mansion house, the estate was once owned by the Harford family, and Wingate dedicated the work to descendants of the original owner, John Scandrett Harford.
