Description:
[i], 2-5, [vi (blank)] 12.5 x 9.75 inches. Still supple, general foxing and chipping and tearing. A travesty of "La Marseillaise" in that the position of Blackmar's name on the first page indicates that Blackmar is the composer. Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle composed "La Marseillaise," originally called "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin," in 1792. Perhaps the title page, which indicates that the music in hand is an arrangement by Ferdinand Beyer of the French song, serves to cover up the interior title, "The Southern Marseillaise." After all, "The Bonnie Blue Flag" a Blackmur publication, was so popular that after New Orleans was captured by Butler in 1862 "he threatened to fine every man, woman or child who sang, whistled, or played it on any instrument, $25.00. He arrested and jailed A. E. Blackmar, fined him $500.00, and had his troops destroy the plates and printed music."—Powell. A travesty?

Description:
New York: Beer & Schirmer, 1865. 4 pp. [cover, 2 p. score, catalog no. 2] Folio. Some foxing and offsetting, wear at extremities, disbound. Cover title: Choix de Romances Francaises favorite. For voice and piano. Text in French, with English translation. ''Il est un air a la fois vif et tendre, dont j'ai garde le touchant souvenir. J'aimais jadis; J'aime encore a l'entendre: il m'annoncait qu'elle devait venir.'' Nadaud is known for his political chansons in the tradition of Piere-Jean de Beranger. This, of course, is not a political song. Catalog on last page of vocal music offered by G. Schirmer, 701 Broadway (1866-1880), including Songs, Secular vocal ensemble music, and Sacred vocal ensemble music. Compositions by American composer Dudley Buck in the catalog indicate that this was probably a later printing from the same plates much later than 1865, yet WorldCat only finds two copies of this imprint.. Wraps. Very Good. Folio - 13'' X 10.5''.
