Comment | Tosti was a celebrated figure, especially in England, and he emerged from retirement to write this song. It had less impact than might be expected, though it was advertised in England and recorded in the United States. |
Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | Tosti uses a drumbeat accompaniment throughout this march song (“Tempo di marcia”) in duple meter. A fanfare figure links verse and chorus. Harmony and melody are more straightforward than in many of Tosti’s ballads. |
