Notes:
Phyllis Fergus Hoyt (October 2, 1887 – December 2, 1964) was a composer, reciter, pianist, and advocate for music by women composers.
Fergus specialized in a type of composition known as "story poems", a work written for spoken word performed with piano accompaniment, although she also wrote works for orchestra, operettas, songs, chamber music, and choral works. Her story poems were often humorous in nature, and featured topics like families, marriage, and courtship.
