NEW SCORE OF "BEGGAR'S OPERA"
Boosey & Co. Prepare Vocal and Piano Score of
John Gay's Work
John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera," from the
original version of 1728, is issued by Boosey &
Co. in the form of a voice and piano score, "as
performed at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith."
This revival in a suburban district at the west of
London on June 5, 1920, has not only been heard
there continuously for seven months since, but
also transplanted, as in 1750, to New York.
Fifty-two musical numbers are included, Eng-
lish dances and airs of popular ballads once
adopted by Dr. Pepusch, and now revised and
augmented by Frederick Austin. The songs, as
remarked in a note to the score, may be used in
concert, while all rights of dramatic perform-
ance are reserved by Nigel Playfair.
