Patricia Blomfield Holt

Patricia Blomfield Holt (15 September 1910 – 5 June 2003) was a Canadian composer, pianist and music educator.

She studied with Norah de Kresz privately before she entered The Royal Conservatory of Music at the age of 19 in 1928.

She was a pupil there of Norman Wilks, Hayunga Carman, Leo Smith, Ernest MacMillan and Healey Willan.

2 was described by London's Musical Times: "The language is frankly of the 19th century, and the forms are reminiscent of Schumann, but the material is handled with certainty and a nice sense of texture".

[4] Her orchestral work, Legend of the North Woods is "an evocation of a lake depicted in Canadian painter J.R. Seauvy’s picture of an unspoilt early Indian scene in the lake country"[3] and was recorded by the University of Calgary Orchestra.
