'FETE des ROSES'. ORIGINAL SHEET MUSIC 1928

The Dance Caprice 'FETE DES ROSES (Roses Day)' by Arthur Wellesley, published by Waterloo Music in 1928, as part of the Canadian Composers Series. 5 pages of music, plus covers and samples, 9 1/4” x 12 1/4” Aside from 2 tiny tears at the edges, condition is superb. It is both frameable and usable. Arthur Wellesley was Arthur Wellesley Hughes (1870-1950) who, as a child, ran away from his Kingston, ON home to join the circus. He became an itinerant musician in the US, playing the piano, calliope and alto horn. And he became a pretty successful composer, with lots of commissioned pieces, and two big hits: Kitty My Love, and Fete des Roses. NOTE: I have a lot of sheet music listed here.
