THE
The New Book by
Clarence G. Hamilton
"Piano Music, Its Composers and Character-
istics" Written by Professor of Music at
Wellesley College
Clarence G. Hamilton, A. M., professor of
music at Wellesley College, is the author of a
new book, "Piano Music, Its Composers and
Characteristics." Prof. Hamilton is also the
author of several other publications, including
"Piano Teaching, Its Principles and Problems,"
"Sound and Its Relation to Music," "Outlines
of Music History" and "Epochs in Musical
Progress." "Epochs in Musical Progress" is
now on the press and is the fourth book in the
"Study Course in Music Understanding" pre-
pared for the National Federation of Music
Clubs. All of these publications are published
by the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston. The con-
tents of "Piano Music, Its Composers and Char-
acteristics" clearly show how piano music has
arrived at its present advanced stage. They
cover the peculiar and individual styles of out-
standing pianists and composers, the evolution
of the piano and a review of the earliest instru-
ments, together with actual illustrations and the
progress to the art instrument of the present day.
Piano music of the various countries of Europe
and America is covered. There also appear lists
of music and books for further study or for
pedagogical purposes and these are noted so
that references can be made with proper con-
tinuity. The author, in referring to important
works of great masters, has confined himself to
numbers that are practical for pianists of mod-
erate ability and such as are readily obtainable
in music stores.

"Song of Sunshine" by Florence Turner-Malay
and other classic selections. The balance of
the program were readings by Mrs. Karn ren-
dered in a delightful manner for which she re-
ceived much praise and comment. The poems
read included "O Would You Know," "The
Contented Frog," "In The Heart of a Pink,"
"The Shipbuilders," and unwritten music.

FIFTEEN CENT
Daniel S. Twohig
by Daniel S. Twohig and the music by Frank
H. Grey. That the number is unusual is demon-
strated by the fact that already sixty concert
artists are using it in their programs. These
include practically all of the outstanding singers
of the country, such as Merle Alcock, Frances
Alda, Paul Althouse, Elsie Baker, Barbara
Maurel, Allen McQuhae, Marguerite Namara,
May Peterson, Carmela and Rosa Ponselle,
Anna Fitziu, Jeanne Gordon, and others.
The Sam Fox Publishing Co. has inaugurated
a Summer campaign on this new charming
lullaby ballad. From present indications it
should prove an active June offering. , It has
been given an attractive title page which will
lend itself readily to window and show-counter
displays. As the singers who are using "Little
Bluebird of My Heart" are most enthusiastic,
the new offering should continue in the same
programs throughout the Fall period.

The success of "Moonlight and Roses," pub-
lished by Villa Moret, Inc., Pantages Building,
San Francisco, Cal., marks another addition, to
the Pacific Coast organizations which have de-
veloped nation-wide song successes.
John
McCormack is the latest artist to sing and
record "Moonlight and Roses." It is appearing
on the programs of many other artists and,
with the campaign now being carried on by
Villa Moret, the publisher, in professional cir-
cles, further publicity is assured this success.
Villa Moret, Inc., is headed by Charles N.
Daniels, president; Ben Black, vice-president;
Paul L. Corbell, secretary and treasurer, and
Bob Watts, sales manager. All of these are
well-known music men. Daniels has been suc-
cessfully composing for close to a score of
years.
