About Cyril Scott

Cyril Meir Scott was an English composer, writer, poet, and occultist. He created around four hundred musical compositions including piano, violin, cello concertos, symphonies, and operas.

Evelyn Suart was also a Christian Scientist, and it was through her that Scott became interested in metaphysics.
