London: John Macqueen 1895. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 5 1/4 X 8 Inches. 276 PP. Henry Russell was a prolific 19th-century English composer and performer whose songs captured the everyday emotions and moral sentiments of Victorian life with unusual immediacy.

Russell's work helped bridge the gap between parlor music and public concert song making him one of the era's most influential figures in shaping popular musical taste. IN 1915 RUSSELL WENT TO WORK FOR THE METROPOLITAN OPERA IN NEW YORK AS THE COMPANY'S ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR.<br /> <br /> Original green cloth binding with gilt title and decoration to cover and spine.
