Philip Arnold Heseltine (30 October 1894 – 17 December 1930), known by the pseudonym Peter Warlock, was a British composer and music critic. The Warlock name, which reflects Heseltine's interest in occult practices, was used for all his published musical works. He is best known as a composer of songs and other vocal music; he also achieved notoriety in his lifetime through his unconventional and often scandalous lifestyle.
As a schoolboy at Eton College, Heseltine met the British composer Frederick Delius, with whom he formed a close friendship. After a failed student career in Oxford and London, Heseltine turned to musical journalism, while developing interests in folk-song and Elizabethan music. His first serious compositions date from around 1915. Following a period of drift and inactivity, a positive and lasting influence on his work arose from his meeting in 1916 with the Dutch composer Bernard van Dieren; he also gained creative impetus from a year spent in Ireland, studying Celtic culture and language. On his return to England in 1918, Heseltine began composing songs in a distinctive, original style, while building a reputation as a combative and controversial music critic. During 1920–21 he edited the music magazine The Sackbut. His most prolific period as a composer came in the 1920s, when he was based first in Wales and later at Eynsford in Kent.
Peter Warlock (born Alec William Bell; October 30, 1904 – December 17, 1995) was a semi-professional magician and publisher of the British magic magazines "Pentagram" (1946–59) and the "New Pentagram" (1969–89).
In 1960, he became the honorary president of the Paisley Magic Circle. Peter Warlock was also asked to accept the Honorary Life Presidency of the Blackpool Magic Club after the death of Edward Victor.
Sally in Our Alley may refer to:
Sally in Our Alley is a 1931 British romantic comedy drama film directed by Maurice Elvey and starred Gracie Fields, Ian Hunter, and Florence Desmond.
The film was made at Beaconsfield Studios by Associated Talking Pictures, who relocated to Ealing Studios the following year. It marked the screen debut of Gracie Fields who was a music hall star. The film incorporated Fields' hugely popular signature song, Sally, itself a reference to Henry Carey's 1725 song, Sally in Our Alley, which had long been a traditional English country dance. The film took £100,000 at the box office establishing Fields as a national film star.
A British soldier (Ian Hunter) goes off to fight in World War I, with his girlfriend (Gracie Fields) waiting and worried at home. He is soon wounded in battle and crippled. He comes to the conclusion that she would be better off believing that he has been killed so she can get on with her life. She gets the news and is devastated. Several years later she is still grieving for him, but he has now been cured and goes looking for her.
Sally in Our Alley is a 1927 American silent drama film directed by Walter Lang. The film is considered to be lost.

VOCES8 sing 'Bethlehem Down' by Peter Warlock at the VOCES8 Centre in London. TEXT by Bruce Blunt When He is King we will give him the King's gifts, Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown, "Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down. Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold, Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold. When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets, Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown, He that lies now in the white arms of Mary Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down. Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming, Close-huddled oxen to keep Him from cold, Mary for love, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fo...

The Curlew (1920-22) A song cycle by British composer Peter Warlock, a.k.a. Philip Arnold Heseltine (1894-1930), based on four poems by William Butler Yeats. "The Curlew" is scored for the unusual combination of voice, flute, cor anglais and string quartet. Text: I. He reproves of the Curlew (from "The Wind among the Reeds"; 1899) O Curlew, cry no more in the air, Or only to the waters in the West; Because your crying brings to my mind Passion-dimm'd eyes and long heavy hair That was shaken out over my breast: There is enough evil in the crying of wind. II. The lover mourns for the loss of love (from "The Wind among the Reeds") Pale brows, still hands and dim hair, I had a beautiful friend And dreamed that the old despair Would end in love in the end: She looked in my heart one day ...

Played by the European Community Chamber Orchestra conducted by Eivind Aadland. Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock 1894-1930) was born in London and lost his father as a child. His mother remarried and returned to her native Wales, living at Cefn Bryntalch Hall, Abermule, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, the family home of her second husband, Walter Buckley Jones. Philip's education was mainly classical, including studies at Eton College, at Christ Church, Oxford (for one year), and at University College London (one term). In music, he was mostly self-taught, studying composition on his own from the works of composers he admired, notably Frederick Delius, Roger Quilter and Bernard van Dieren. Nevertheless, one of the masters at Eton, Colin Taylor, had introduced him to some of the modern mast...

Alvin = first tenor Edwin = second tenor William = first bass Yale =second bass. The song is by Henry Carey.
