Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Stated standard edition. Quarto. Single bifolium with a single sheet insert making six pages. A tiny bit of separation at the top and bottom of the fold, edgewear including chips and tears, still a very good and complete copy. For high voice and piano. SH 1144-4. The back cover features short sam…ples of three other Jacques Wolfe songs, "Darky Lullaby," "Sad Song in De Air," and "Swing Along," as well as a blurb about the composer stating, "Jaques Wolfe, a Roumanian by birth, has found in the American negro the New World Counterpart of the roving gypsies who inhabit his native land, and has deftly caught their spirit and woven it into his modern melodic patterns." One can sense a faint comparison to Dvo?ák and anticipate a similar criticism. *OCLC* locates three holdings.
