Comment | This title received no notice of any kind in the press, and there are no documented performances. It was clearly a contribution to the war effort, not a commercial product, written by a lyricist who had served in the Spanish-American war and a composer who was married to another veteran of that war. |
Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | This march ballad displays extensive rubato indications, though marked “Tempo di Marcia” and with extended fanfare figures in the introduction. The tessitura is quite high, the melody and text-setting are somewhat awkward, and the piano part is cumbersome and sometimes oddly voiced—all indications that this was composed by a musically literate but inexperienced amateur. |
