Liza Lehmann (11 July 1862 – 19 September 1918) was an English composer and operatic soprano.
Victoriana
Lehmann’s vocal quartets cycles with piano: The Daisy-Chain (L. Alma-Tadema, R.L. Stevenson and others); In a Persian Garden (E. FitzGerald, after O. Khayyām); More Daisies; Nonsense Songs (from L. Carroll: Alice in Wonderland); Breton Folk-Songs (F.M. Gostling); Prairie Pictures (Lehmann); Parody Pie (1914) - as listed in Wikipedia
Cycles of songs for vocal quartet
Might strike us as a risky bet,
But in Miss Lehmann’s time and place
Her offerings found a warm embrace.
They helped the creeping hours advance
By giving evening guests a chance
To show their genteel vocal talents
To other cultured maids and gallants.
