Phillip Sear plays the third of a collection of six pieces called 'From the Three-Cornered Kingdom' (1910) by the British composer Harry Farjeon (1878-1948).

Harry Farjeon (1878-1948) - brother of the poet Eleanor Farjeon - studied at the Royal Academy of Music under Landon Ronald. Although he wrote a piano concerto and sonata, he is remembered (if at all) for sets of short, light, piano pieces. You can read more about him here: http://bit.ly/2w0nZnq . It has taken me a long time to discover the source of the strange titles of the pieces in this set, but I recently discovered that they were taken from a short story 'The Three-Cornered Kingdom' by the obscure American writer Irene Du Vernet Rabell (1885-1967). The story is maybe better-known for being the inspiration of the lost 1922 romantic movie 'If I were Queen'. My thumbnail shows a detail from a 2008 photo of bells in trees taken in Greenville, North Carolina from the Greenville Daily Photo ( https://tinyurl.com/y4purks3 ).
