SOME NEW BOOSEY NUMBERS
Boosey & Co. Announce First Issues for the
New Season of 1919-20—Some Promising
Songs Offered to Trade and Public
Boosey & Co., the well-known publishers of
standard music, who during the war period and
for the season just past curtailed their new is-
sues to a minimum, have just announced the
first issue of new songs for the season 1919-20.
In giving publicity to the numbers Boosey &
Co. have divided the releases into two classes,
"songs composed in America" and "English
Songs."
American compositions include "Mother My
Own," words by Miriam Teichner, music by
Edward R. Caldwell; "Teach Me To Do Thy
Will," words by Avery Werner, music by Vernon
Evillc; "Lonesome," words by Avery Werner,
music by Gustave Ferrari; "When Phyllis
Smiles," words and music by Louise Ayres
Garnett.
The English songs include "The Greeting of
the Day," words and music by Douglas Grant;
"Come Away," words by J. Lewis MSlligan,
music by Katie Moss; "A Little Prayer for Me,"
words by Fred E. Weatherby, music by Kennedy
Russell; "The Rose of Perfect Love," words by
Fred C. Bowles, music by Wilfrid Sanderson;
"When Swallows Fly Low," words by Alan
Herne, music by Wilfrid Sanderson; "Into the
Dawn to Be," words by Longfellow, music by
T. Wilkinson Stephenson; "Until," a duet by
Wilfrid Sanderson.
In presenting the above numbers to the trade
the house of Boosey feel they are offering a
class of works which, while they are of the
Boosey high standard, also have, without doubt,
a popular appeal.
One of the moves made by the publishers in
behalf of thuse new issues, which shows how
high they value their salability, is to inaugurate
a big campaign among the professional singers
and teachers.
