British Romantic composer, Rosalind Ellicott (1857 – 1924) was one of the “leading female composers of her generation” (Wikipedia). She studied the piano at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and discovered her voice there. Later on, she studied composing for 7 years at the Brompton Oratory. Ellicott’s father was an influential figure: the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, however he had no interest in music. It was Rosalind’s mother, Constania Annie Ellicott, who was the parental figure that encouraged Rosalind’s musical talents to flower.

At the peak of her musical career, Rosalind went on world tours – for example to America – where her two popular works: the Dramatic Overture and Elysium were performed. Overall, Ellicott composed a range of works, including orchestral, choral, chamber, and solo compositions.

Here’s a clip of Ellicott’s Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor:
