The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1908)

Edison Phonograph Monthly, Sept., 1908 27 46 Selections from Faust Edison Symphony Orchestra A tryly wonderful orchestra Record, which gives the most beautiful airs from Gounod's opera, "Faust:" Grand Chorus (the Fair) Act i; Romance, Act 3, (Siebel) ; Soldiers' Chorus, Act 3, and Finale of Act 4. This is considerably more of the opera than was ever before recorded at one time, and the Symphony Orchestra gives it a grand interpretation. Composer, Charles Gounod. 47 Silver Threads Among the Gold Will Oakland The most noted c««rrter-teror song ever written. No matter how charming are Oakland's new songs in Dockstader's Minstrels, the audience will never allow him to retire until he sings "Silver Threads." The words are unsurpassed for appealing tenderness and the air is beautiful beyond description. Orchestra accompaniment; music, H. P. Danks; words, Eben E. Rexford; publisher, Hamilton S. Gordon, New York. 48 Santiago Flynn Ada Jones and Len Spencer An Irish maiden is courted by an Italian wooer. He plays the mandolin beneath her bower in true Romeo fashion and asks her to be his Irish Rosie, but she is able to make very little sense out of his " dago blarney." He asks her to cast her eyes on him and she answers sweetly that she has no cast in her eye. Santiago Flynn entreats her to take the name of Signora Santiago. "A fine name — for a five-cent cigar " she exclaims. The ending is happy, however, for Santiago convinces her that his father was Paddy Flynn, a good, true Irishman. She then agrees to have him to the accompaniment of " Killarney," on the mandolin. Several clever songs are introduced by Miss Jones. Orchestra accompaniment. 49 Blue Danube Waltz Knickerbocker Quartette The Blue Danube Waltz made Johann Strauss' fame. It is generally regarded as the finest waltz ever written. In our Record the irresistably sweet melodies are arranged for a quartette by male voices. The Knickerbocker Quartette sings it in a manner which will cause the vocal arrangement to rival the instrumental in popularity. Orchestra accompaniment; composer, Johann Strauss; publishers, Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass. 50 American Standard and the New Colonial Marches Edison Military Band This Record combines two of the best selling two-minute Records in the Edison catalogue. American Standard was the first selection ever played by the Edison Military Band. The New Colonial Marches are the best known work of the celebrated military march writer, R. B. Hall. The Edison Military Band gives a flawless performance. Composers, Frank R. Seltzer and R. B. Hall; publishers, Harry Coleman, Philadelphia, Pa.; and The John Church Co., New York, respectively.
