POPULAR SHEET MUSIC
NOVELTIES FROM BOOSEY'S
Late Batch of Well Arranged and Attractive-
ly Printed Publications Suitable for All
Purposes and Most Singers.
Boosey & Co., 9 E. 17th street, New York, have
put forth the second issue of novelties for the sea-
son, comprising eleven songs, separate editions of
"Three Salt Water Ballads" and two piano com-
positions.
"Remembrance," t y Lois Barker, is a tuneful,
pleasing, yet simple setting of charmingly phrased
verses by Arthur Charlton.
James Blain Beam enters the list of Boosey &
Co.'s composers with a sacred song, entitled "Sup-
plication," a well conceived appeal for strength,
guidance and fortitude during the trial-hours of
life.
Monica Chapman is responsible for the fairy-
land verses entitled "Harebells," which A. Herbert
Brewer has tastefully embellished with a musical
setting. The voice part is singable and attractive,
while the accompaniment is full of surprises.
Novelties would be incomplete without a number.
The facile pen of Vernon Eville gives us "Just
That One Hour," a song of sentiment which cannot
fail to become a favorite with both concert and
home singer.
"A Fairy Fantasy." by Arthur E. Godfrey, is all
its name implies. Mdme. Galli-Curci, the foremost
coloratura artist of the age, is using this song with
telling effect.
"Three Salt Water Ballads" are 1, Port of Many
Ships; 2. Trade Winds; 3, Mother Carey. The
words are by John Maseiield; music by Frederick
Keel. Tecnrng with action, the tang of the sea,
the surge of waves, the expressive idiom and
dialect of Old Salts, and the atmosphere of the
hornpipe days are all portrayed in these musical
settings.
"When I am Dead, My Dearest," is the late Liza
Lehmann's last composition. It is at once a song
of sympathy and of consolation.
Ralph Letts-has provided a very effective and
appropriate setting to Netterville Baron's old style
verses, "Can a Maiden Sigh Forever"? This song
is particularly useful as a study in phrasing and
breath control, while its quaint and attractive verses
render it eminently worth-while as a recital num-
ber.
L T nder the nom de plume of Roland Royce, is
given an exquisite ballad entitled "They Say,"
which in conception, development and treatment
throughout, is admirable.
"Love's Hesitation," Gertrude Ross Wiskin's
verses of questioning on love's vagaries and idiosyn-
crasies, musically dressed and fitted by Wilfrid
Sanderson, has a fascinating waltz rhythm and
abounds in grateful melodic phrases.
T. Wilkinson Stephenson has several exception-
ally line songs to his credit, but none so appealing
and popular in character as "My Pearl of Mem-
ory." One would look in vain to find a better ex-
ample of ballad writing.
On his recent Southern tour John McCormack
discovered "The Barefoot Trail" in Tennessee and,
recognizing its wonderful appeal, secured the MS.
for immediate publication. Singers will provide a
place on every program for this ballad' success.
The composer, Alvin S. Wiggers, and the author,
Miss Marian Phelps, have produced a very bright
and successful song.
The piano solo by Graham Peel, entitled "A Pre-
lude," is a teaching number of value, already exten-
sively used at the Toronto Conservatory of Music.
A transcription of the late Amy Woodforde-
Finden's cycle, "A Lover in Damascus/' will be
appreciated by all who play. Mrs. Finden's music
portrays the weird mysticism of the Far East and
is a musical analysis of the passions and innermost
feelings of a stoic race.
