Two years later, the poem was published in a collection of Kipling’s works, entitled Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses. Kipling’s poem describes the hanging of Danny Deever, a British combatant sentenced to death for murdering another soldier. It consists of verses written in a two-part conversational style, a trait associated with the English ballad. “Danny Deever” was the subject of many musical settings, including those by Gerard F. Cobb, Harold Dixon, Percy Grainger, Oscar Haase, W. Ward-Higgs, and Arthur Whiting. However, it is Walter Damrosch’s rendition of “Danny Deever” that is best remembered today. With a first performance by American baritone David Bispham at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia on December 11, 1897, Damrosch’s song quickly achieved popularity among the American public. In fact, Bispham, in his autobiography, A Quaker Singer’s Recollections, claimed that Damrosch’s song made a strong impression on President Theodore Roosevelt. Damrosch’s version of the song, published in 1897, is a dramatic account of the death of Danny Deever. Organized in a “question and answer” sequence, the verses usually begin with questions posed by the Files-on-Parade (a soldier in the ranks), which are then answered by the Color Sergeant in the song’s refrain. While the militaristic accompaniment helps distinguish the Color Sergeant from the soldier, the performer must differentiate between these two characters in order for the narrative to be effective. With its brilliant conclusion, Damrosch’s “Danny Deever” deserves a wider hearing among today’s audiences. Reinald Werrenrath (August 7, 1883 – September 12, 1953) was an American baritone opera singer, who also recorded popular songs and appeared regularly on radio in the early decades of the twentieth century.[1] Werrenrath commonly used the pseudonym Edward Hamilton.[2]BiographyWerrenrath was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of George Werrenrath, an operatic tenor born in Denmark. He studied at New York University, and made his operatic debut in 1907 in Die Meistersinger. He also recorded for Edison Records in 1907, before a long recording career with the Victor Talking Machine Company. He sang on several hundred Victor recordings between 1906 and 1929, both as a soloist and as part of various vocal ensembles such as the Orpheus Quartet and the Victor Opera Quartet.[3][4] His most commercially successful recordings included "As Long As The World Rolls On" (1907), "Hello Frisco!" (from "Ziegfeld Follies of 1915"), and "Smilin' Through" (1919).[3]Werrenrath made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1919, in Pagliacci, in a cast that also included Enrico Caruso.[1] He also toured widely, and made over 3,000 concert appearances.[3] He was one of the first singing stars to appear regularly on radio, notably on radio station WEAF in New York. In 1930, he made a private recording of Christmas greetings accompanied by Harpo Marx and others.[5] In 1932, he became a member of NBC's music staff, and in later years devoted himself mainly to teaching, predominantly at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland.[4] He also ran a regular summer music school at Chazy Lake, New York.[1]He was married three times. He died on September 12, 1953 in Plattsburgh, New York, after suffering a heart attack while at Chazy Lake.[1] More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
