New Music.
For the following roll of new music we
are indebted to friend McClure of Union
street:
"Forget-me-not:" poetry by Ada Somerville; music by Herbert Mortimer; James
A. McClure, publisher. This is one of the
exquisite effusions of the early-dead Ed
Eaton, of Memphis—probably his last,
and, like the chant of the dying swan, his
sweetest.
"Nellie Vane," words and music by
Joseph C. Baker, is a dainty, trilling little
gem of song, to charm the vacant hour.
"Flatterroschen," or the Sweet Rose Mazourka—H. Herrmann—a dashing, captivating
ring of harmony.
"George Peabody's Funeral March"—We
have not heard it, but, coming from the
house of Lee & Walker, we take it to
be a worthy tribute to the worthy dead.
"Maryland Rooster's Schottische," by
E. Mack. This is Green Morrow adapted
to the piano, and rivals the original Democratic
rooster.
"I saw Esau."
You go and see him,
too. And he must be heard as well as
seen. He's on a regular high old sea-saw:
"I saw Esau kissing Kate
And the fact is we all three saw;
For I saw Esau, he saw me,
And she saw I saw Esau."
