Just Awearyin' For You

The tune was composed by Carrie Jacobs-Bond#Personal life, Carrie Jacobs-Bond and published as part of ''Seven Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose'' in 1901. Harry T. Burleigh also composed a tune (copyrighted in 1906), but it never approached the popularity of the Jacobs-Bond tune. Although Stanton originally wrote the lyrics in dialect ("Jes' a-wearyin' fer you") for a column in the ''Atlanta Constitution'', the song has generally circulated with the more mainstreamed diction of the Jacobs-Bond version. Sentimental yet artful, "Just Awearyin' for You" has been recorded by numerous performers, including Elizabeth Spencer (soprano), Elizabeth Spencer, Evan Williams (tenor), Evan Williams, Anna Case, Sophie Braslau, Eleanor Steber, Gladys Swarthout, Thomas Allen (baritone), Thomas Allen and Malcolm Ma ...

Compositions Twenty of Joseph Haydn's 106 symphonies are in C major, making it his second most-used key, second to D major. Of the 134 symphonies mistakenly attributed to Haydn that H. C.

Landon writes that it wasn't "until 1774 that Haydn uses trumpets and timpani in a key other than C major... and then only sparingly."
