Description

"Christmas," written by Harry Rowe Shelley and published by G. Schirmer, New York, 1887. The score, dedicated to vocalist Whitney Mockridge, is in the moderato tempo and features lyrics. The cover indicates which key is to be used for types of voice as well as alternative arrangements. On the back panel is a lengthy list of sheets offered by the publisher. Shelley (1858-1947), who studied under Dvorak and other composers in New York, London and Paris, was an organist at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church in New York from 1899. With significant soiling, creases, edge tears, and some stains, the condition is fair.
