The songs I found at the australian library were by Florence Alyward, I see that’s not so clear if you read it fast… Songs by Rebecca are easier to find, but thanks anyway for the tip.

I did a search and found two of her songs in the national library of Australia (!).
It’s very beautiful salon-music and we will put them on our recording-list.
Thank you so much for the tip!

Regarding female composers of the late 19th century/early 20th…

The music in my family comes directly from the Alyward family and a Florence Alyward (1862-1950) was a female composer either at the RCM – where I studied! – or the RAM. She was noted for her ballads.

The entire family was very musical – organists/music teachers/ players – and one ended up in the US as Director of Cincinnati Opera.

I gather that most of Florence’s manuscripts are held in the library at the RAM but have never had chance to view them.

Have you come across any of her work? I would be thrilled to hear/read any examples.
