The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1912)

18 Edison Phonograph Monthly, March, 1912 1010 God is Love, His Mercy Brightens Agnes Miller, Reed Miller and Frank Croxton A sacred selection composed by Conradin Kreutzer (1780-1849), a celebrated German writer of opera, oratorio and church music. This is one of his best known sacred numbers, and it affords to Miss Kimball (soprano), Mr. Miller (tenor) and Mr. Croxton (bass) an excellent opportunity to display their remarkable ability in solo, duet and trio singing. Orchestra accompaniment. 1011 Happy Days Venetian Instrumental Trio A charming arrangement of this favorite melody, so familiar as a song with violin obligato. Its presentation by these clever musicians upon violin, flute and harp is particularly happy, the nature of the piece lending itself so readily to these instruments. A. Strelezki is the composer.

F Initiation and Installation Odes Male Quartet A perfectly balanced quartet has sung the solemn, awe-inspiring odes in beautifully arranged harmony, with the strains of the organ to complete the impressiveness of the selection. 1014 I. O. O. F. Funeral Ode Male Quartet This Record needs no introduction to Odd Fellows, but for the benefit of those "without the pale" let us say that this ode is a majestic expression of faith and hope. The introduction, played upon the organ, is magnificent. Edison Standard Records UNITED STATES LIST, 35 CENTS; CANADIAN, 40 CENTS 10551 Spanish Dance — Suite "Bal Costume" United States Marine Band The Spanish Dance is the fourth in a suite of national dances written by the great Anton Rubenstein, eminent composer and Liszt's only rival in technical perfection. The dance abounds with vivid local color and depicts the wooing of an Andalusian Carmen by an impetuous toreador. The famous Marine Band has acquitted itself splendidly in obtaining the dash and rhythm of the piece. 10552 Pickaninny's Lullaby Elsie Baker Miss Baker's first Standard Record is her favorite encore song which she gives in darkey dialect. It is a gem, and perfectly suited to Miss Baker's rich contralto voice, to which a properly subdued orchestra plays a soothing accompaniment. Words and music by George W. Gage. Victor Kremer Company, of Chicago, are the publishers. 10553 I Want "a Regular Pal" for~a "Gal" Walter Van Brunt Already listed as Amberol No. 910, this delightful song is now offered in Standard form by the young artist who so capably sang it previously.
