Agnes Tyrrell (Brno, 20 September 1846 – Brno, 18 April 1883) was a composer and pianist of English and Czech descent. Tyrrell was born and lived all her life in Brno, the regional capital of Moravia which was at that time a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. She was the daughter and third child of English teacher Henry Foster Tyrrell, who had established himself among the German-speaking community of Brno, and his Czech wife Josefina Kotulanova. Agnes grew up in this environment speaking fluently English and German but also Czech. A child prodigy, she performed in her first piano recital at nine and attended the Vienna Conservatory at sixteen. She studied piano with Wilhem Kunst in Brno and Josef Dachs and Adalbert Pacher in Vienna. Her composition teachers were Brno conductors Toman and Otto Kitzler who was also a composition teacher of Anton Bruckner. Tyrrell had to give up an active pianist career due to failing health, so instead she devoted her short life to composition. Although her music, particularly her choral works, was performed during her lifetime, only a few piano compositions and an art song were published, despite her large catalogue of works in almost every category of classical music. While Tyrrell's music reflects the aesthetics and style of her times, and while she was influenced by the music of Liszt and Bruckner, she was able to process all these influences into a highly individual synthesis.

Tyrrell's autograph scores are deposited with the Moravian Land Museum Department of Music in Brno. Below you will find a catalogue of Tyrrell's piano, chamber, and choral music published to date.
