Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Presumably the first edition. Quarto. Single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages.

There is very little information about the composer of this piece, Philip Dalmas, available online, but we were able to find a mention of him in a program for the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 1918-1919 season. It lists the songs of his to be performed (alongside many other composers) at a concert on February 3, 1919, and prints an excerpt from an article from 1900 in the *North American* that discusses a performance Dalmas gave at a convention of the Whitman Fellowship (setting Whitman's poetry to music) and speaks a bit about the type of person he was, ".Dalmas sang his own songs, eight in number, and displayed such daring in method as seemed somehow to give his work remarkable and exceptional identity. Dalmas's innovations excite extreme opinion either to applaud or condemn. Dalmas proposes to publish a volume of these songs. He is of Philadelphia parentage, and has spent years both abroad and at home in severe training. He is a man of ripe ideas, gravely interested in the social movement in England." This piece is unrecorded by *OCLC* and appears to be equally scarce in the trade. An obscure piece by an equally obscure composer.
