Early life
Aylward was born at Brede Rectory in Brede, East Sussex, England in 1862, the daughter of the Rector of Brede, Augustus Aylward and his wife Mary, who was the eldest daughter of Thomas Frewen of Brickwall in Sussex.[1] Aylward studied at the Guildhall School.[2] Aylward began composing at an early age, and her songs began to be performed at local concerts when she was 12.[3]
Career
Aylward's early composition efforts caught the attention of William Boosey, of the publisher Boosey & Hawkes.[3] Aylward's first song was published in 1888, entitled "Day Dawn".[1] The words were based on a translation of a Victor Hugo poem by Alice K. Sawyer, with music composed by Aylward. The Graphic described it as a "simple and graceful ballad".[4] In 1890, a collection of six of her compositions was published for soprano under the title "Album of Six Songs", which included "The Boat of My Lover", "An Egyptian Lament" and "The Milkmaid's Song".[5]
In total, she published at least 150 songs.[1] Around 50 are listed in
Padzírek's Universal Handbook of Musical Literature.[6]
Family life
Aylward married Harold Kinder, an architect, in 1881 in Rye, Sussex.[7] They had one son,[8] Harold, born in 1886. Aylward's husband died in 1940.[1]
