SOME NEW DITSON PUBLICATIONS
Interesting Series of Songs Found in the January
List of the Oliver Ditson Co.
The Oliver Ditson Co. has offered to the trade
and the public in its January list a most inter-
esting series of songs, several of them by com-
posers of wide reputation. Particularly interest-
ing is the quiet little idyl, "In Your Little Gar-
den," by Charles F. Manney, particularly desir-
able for teaching purposes, as is Walter Kra-
mer's "The Crystal Gazer." William W. Lowitz
i : represented in the list with a dainty little num-
ber entitled, "I Couldn't Say, 'No, Sir'"; Harry
O. Osgood by "April in Church," and Alexander
MacFadyen by "To a Rose," an interesting mu-
sical setting for the poem by John B. Tabb.
Other selections on the January list include
"When the World Was Young," with lyrics by
Frederick H. Martens and music by Arthur
Cleveland Morse, and several sacred songs,
among them "So Near to God," text by Gordon
Johnstone and music by William Arms Fisher;
"King of Kings," by J. N. Hall; "O, Saviour of
the Lost," by Arthur F. M. Constance, and
"Hear, Forgive and Save."
There is also, as usual, an imposing list of
piano numbers, together with compositions for
violin and piano, and for orchestra, as well as
a valuable series of music books.
NEW HAROLD FLAMMER SONGS
Among the new issues in the catalog of Harold
Flammer, Inc., are "A Child's Night Song," for
voice and piano, by Karolyn Wells Bassett; a
waltz ballad entitled "Little Old Log Cabin,"
