My Old New Hampshire Home
"My Old New Hampshire Home" is an 1898 song that was the first popular hit of composer Harry Von Tilzer, with lyrics by Andrew B. Sterling. In 1898, Von Tilzer and Sterling were sharing a rented furnished room in New York City on Fifteenth Street. They were three weeks behind on their rent, and used a final rent bill slipped under their door to write the lyrics to a new song. The following day they shopped it to places on Union Square with no luck. Bartley Costello, who was a lyricist himself, told them to take it to new publisher William C. Dunn. They brought it to Dunn, who agreed to take it home for his daughter to play and to pay $15 for it if she liked it. The next day the authors received a check for $15.Jasen, David A''Tin Pan Alley: An Encyclopedia of the Golden Age of American Song'' p. 402 (2004)Ewen, David''The Life and Death of Tin Pan Alley: The Golden Age of American Popular Music'' pp. 138-39Wickes, E.M"Fortunes Made in Popular Songs" ''The American Magazine'' (Octo ...

Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus
"Nu tändas tusen juleljus" is a Christian traditional Swedish language Christmas song, written in 1898 by the Swedish song text writer Emmy Köhler (both text and melody). Translated into English, the title literally means "Now are lit a thousand Christmas candles". The theme of the song is the gospel of the newborn Christ and specifically its aspects of domestic harmony and inner peace, brought by the lights of candles as well as of the stars above, most importantly the star of Bethlehem. It was one of the most popular Christmas songs in Sweden during the 20th century, in churches, homes and schools. Swedish pop singer Agnetha Fältskog recorded the song on her album "Nu tändas tusen juleljus", named after the song, with her daughter Linda Ulvaeus. The song was also covered by artists and groups like Evie (both 1974 and 1976, also in English), Carola Häggkvist (1983), Wizex (1993), and Lill Lindfors (1991).

Scott Joplin
Scott Joplin ( 1868 – April 1, 1917) was an American composer and pianist. Because of the fame achieved for his ragtime compositions, he was dubbed the "King of Ragtime." During his career, he wrote over 40 original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first and most popular pieces, the '' Maple Leaf Rag'', became the genre's first and most influential hit, later being recognized as the archetypal rag. Joplin considered ragtime to be a form of classical music and largely disdained the practice of ragtime such as that in honky tonk. Joplin grew up in a musical family of railway laborers in Texarkana, Arkansas, developing his own musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. While in Texarkana, he formed a vocal quartet and taught mandolin and guitar. During the late 1880s, he left his job as a railroad laborer and traveled the American South as an itinerant musician. He went to Chicago for the World's Fair of 1893, which played a major part i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
