About this Item
Possible first edition in E-flat major (stated to originally be in E major). Folio. Single bifolium making four pages. Notches in the spine and numbering in the top right corner of each page from once being bound within an album, "1827" penciled on the front cover, foxing, and light edgewear, very good. For voice and piano. Byron's lyrics are part of a collaboration with composer Isaac Nathan, together they published a collection of songs under the title *Hebrew Melodies* (1815), which caused a bit of a backlash for Byron due to the pronounced prejudice against the Jewish people in England at the time, with some reviewers criticizing Byron for working on the project. The original version of this song appears to have been in C-Major, and though this edition states there was a previous E-Major edition, we can not find an example of it, though we do know that there were numerous compositions over the years set to Byron's words and published under this title. An interesting and seemingly scarce piece. Seller Inventory # 573163
