Schrimer's Selection of Patriotic Choruses. This is G. Schrimer Octavo 8808. There is some wear and soiling. Cover has an image of an American Eagle with flag imagery.

John Alden Carpenter February 28 1876 - April 26 1951 was an American composer. Carpenter was born in Park Ridge Illinois on February 28 1876 and raised in a musical household. He was educated at Harvard University where he studied under John Knowles Paine and was president of the Glee Club also writing music for the Hasty-Pudding Club. Showing great promise as a composer he journeyed to London to study under Edward Elgar and finally succeeded in studying with him in Rome in 1906 later returning to the United States to study under Bernhard Ziehn in Chicago through 1912. It was there he earned a comfortable living as vice-president of the family business a shipping supply company from 1909 to his retirement in 1936. After his retirement he spent much of his time composing. Carpenter's compositional style was considered to be mainly "mildly modernistic and impressionistic"; also many of his works strive to encompass the spirit of America including the patriotic The Home Road and several of his works are jazz-inspired. He composed three ballets: Krazy Kat: A Jazz Pantomime based on the Krazy Kat comics was premiered at the New York Town Hall on 20 January 1922 and was the first work by a concert composer to use the word 'jazz' in its title; possibly his best-known is Skyscrapers 1926 set in New York it premiered at the Metropolitan Opera but equally inspired by his native Chicago. In 1932 Carpenter completed Song of Faith for the George Washington bicentennial. His first symphony Symphony No. 1 in C was premiered in Norfolk Connecticut in 1917 and revised for the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra who performed it on October 24 1940. Bruno Walter premiered his second symphony with the New York Philharmonic in 1942. He also wrote many piano pieces and songs including the song cycle Gitanjali with poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Carpenter made two published commercial sound recordings. In December 1927 he joined the mezzo-soprano Mina Hager to record the voice and piano version of his set of Water-Colors settings of four ancient Chinese poems in English translations for a small subscription label the Chicago Gramophone Society. In April 1932 Carpenter recorded the spoken narration in his Song of Faith with the Chicago A Cappella Choir the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Noble Cain for Victor. Carpenter made at least one private non-commercial recording; it is possible that one or more private or off-air recordings of his performances also survive for instance among the Mina Hager papers in Chicago.

1805réf. 4040Charleston South Carolina: Printed at the Office of the Charleston Courier 1805. First Edition. Fair. 8vo. 3-127 INCOMPLETE: lacking half-title title-page here in facsimile and pp. 93-127 paperstock browned throughout p. 5 stained and a little soiled. Recent sympathetic wrappers title written in ink on upper cover. Described in 1893 as "One of the rarest of American trials" Catalogue of the Extraordinary Collection of Law Trials made by the late Edmund B. Wynn no. 1275. Whereas our copy is significantly incomplete we invite all haters to find another but please be patient because no copy complete or otherwise has appeared at auction since 1963. McDade explains that this is "an unusual case at Goosecreek South Carolina in which the wife's lover murdered her husband outside the house and put the body in bed with the wife who attempted to conceal the crime. He was convicted and hanged. She with Southern consideration for womankind was acquitted" but nonetheless she was scorned shamed and humiliated for violating her marriage vow. But the trial was of national significance because "the Nettles-Cannon Trial gives a preliminary glimpse of the scope of state efforts to transform the criminal justice system in the first decades after the ramification of the Constitution and suggests some of the reasons those efforts remained incomplete" Dale p. 23. "The trial of Joshua Nettles and Elizabeth Cannon 1805 who presumably conspired to kill Cannon's husband serves as an example to show how key actors in the process from the detection of a crime to the actual trial were ordinary members of the community how legal arguments had little impact on the outcome of the trial how jurors judged the law rather than the facts or how Nettles did not appeal his eventual conviction. The state and the people in this period cooperated in order to achieve justice." Birte Christ 2012 review of Elizabeth Dale's "Criminal Justice in the United States 1789-1939" online at H-Soz-Kult. Dale discusses the significance of the trial on pp. 23-30. Finally: "The S.C. Carpenter reports on these two cases may be the earliest surviving records of full trial proceedings in South Carolina." W. Lewis Burke "A History of the Opening Statement From Barristers to Corporate Lawyers: A Case Study of South Carolina" in: American Journal of Legal History 1993 vol. XXXVII p. 38. This trial was featured in the 2014-2015 exhibition of "Murder and Women in 19th-Century America Trial Accounts in the Yale Law Library." COMMENT: This copy contains the complete transcripts of the witness testimonies and cross-examinations and all the arguments of the DEFENSE pleaded by the lawyers of Joshua Nettles and Elizabeth Cannon. It does not contain "The Defense Being Gone Through The Attorney-General Rose in reply and said: May it please your Honor" etc. The Attorney-General's text continues through pp. 93-114; following it is "The Judge's Charge" pp. 115-124 and an unrelated account of the execution of Richard Dennis Jun. which was appended to this edition because "it came too late to be published with the trial of Dennis and is therefore according to promise published with that of Nettles" pp. 125-127.
