4594 Believe Me If AH Those Endearing Young Charms McCool 4874 Believe Me If All Those Endearing Elizabeth Wheeler
In Moore’s Irish melodies are found all the elements that have made his poetry admired — graceful fancy, beautiful sentiment and happily turned phrases. Moore composed the melodies for many of these poems, but the air of this favorite “Believe Me” was written by Sir J. Stevenson. It is a most beautiful melody and suits the words admirably. What Moore did for Ireland with his “ melodies ” is well expressed in one of his own songs :
“ Dear harp of my country, in darkness I found thee,
The cold chains of silence had hung o’er thee long ;
When proudly, my own Island Harp, I unbound thee.
And gave all thy chords to light, freedom and song ! ”
2554 Belle Brandon Richard Jose
31497 Ben Bolt (Kneass) Richard Jose
4321 Ben Bolt (Kneass) Corinne Morgan
31374 Ben Bolt (Kneass) Corinne Morgan
No song of the past century achieved a wider popularity than this favor¬ ite Ben Bolt. The poem was written in 1842 by Dr. Thomas Dunn English, and set to music by Nelson Kneass in 1848, at Pittsburg, where it was first sung in a play called “The Battle of Buena Vista.” Alice promptly became the pet of the public, and the air was sung and whistled everywhere, even becoming the rage in London — a rare thing in those days. The use of the song by Du Maurier in “Trilby” led to a revival of its
success, and it is to-day more popular than ever, and justly so, as it is a really
beautiful ballad.
31746 Blue Bells of Scotland ( Unaccompanied ) Whitney Quartet
31690 Bravest Heart May Swell, The (Gounod) Turner
Valentine’s noble air in the second act of Gounod’s Faust, and one of the most enjoyable numbers in the whole baritone repertory. Mr. Turner renders it most effectively.
1329 Bye and Bye You Will Forget Me
Dudley-Macdonough 31743 Calm as the Night ( Stille wie die Nacht) (Bohm) Werrenrath
Bohm’s setting of this beautiful poem song has long been a favorite Red Seal record, and its issue in the one dollar class by such an artist as Werrenrath is a notable event. Mr. Wer¬ renrath sings it in English, using the favorite translation by Nathan Haskell Dole.
52006 Can It Comfort ( Kan det troste ) (Kjerulf)
( Unaccompanied ) Orpheus Chorus
The Swedish people are celebrated for the fine singing organizations which flourish every¬ where in the villages and towns, and Swedish chorus singing is considered the best in the world. A fine example of the beautiful work done by these societies is here offered. No more exquisite pianissimo effects could be imagined than are produced here by the Orpheus, while Mr. Wallgren exhibits a rich and cultivated voice in the solo.
656 Carry Me Back to Old Virginny Haydn Quartet
31724 Cheerful Wanderer, The (Mendelssohn) ( Unacc .) Whitney Qt. 5481 Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming (Foster) Peerless Quartet
