- Quarto, 13-1/2 inches high by 10-3/4 inches wide. Printed self-wraps consisting of loose signatures and leaves. What is offered here is the contemporary score for the young composer Ethel Glenn Hier's "The Fairy Ring" with lyrics from a poem by Abbie Farwell Brown. The 12-page score, consisting of 4 parts, is lithographed from the holograph score onto 7 sheets of C. F. Schmidt music paper. The first part for "Soprano, Violin, Cello, & Piano" consists of 6 pages printed on both sides of each sheet. The second, apparently for Soprano, consists of 4 pages printed on both sides of each sheet. The third and fourth parts, for "Violin" and "Violoncello", each consist of one page printed on one side of the sheets. The pages are slightly soiled, particularly along the edges. There are creases to the edges and corners and the edges of the second part, apparently for voice, are heavily chipped. The signature making up the first part is splitting along the spine and there is a tiny tear to the page for the violin part. Good. A review of a concert of original compositions given by the pupils of Walter Henry Rothwell on April 22 at the MacDowell Club states: "The works that perhaps received the greatest amount of applause were those of Ethel Glenn Hier. These included four songs, 'May Song,' 'In a Carpenter's Shop,' 'Japanese Lullaby,' and 'The Way That Lovers Use.' In all of them Miss Hier disclosed a delicate lyric quality, and an ability to write charming melody. . Her second work to a poem by Sara Teasdale was unusual and seemed vaguely reminiscent of a Cesar Franck carol." - [Published in the May 4th 1918 issue of "Musical America"].The American composer, pianist and teacher Ethel Glenn Hier (1889-1971) studied composition under Stillman-Kelly and Percy Goetschius and piano under Marcian Thalberg at the Cincinnati Conservatory, graduating in 1911. She went on to study at New York's Institute of Musical Art (which was to become Juilliard) before heading to Europe where she pursued her studies in Berlin under Hugo Kaun and in Italy under Gian-Francesco Malipiero and Ernest Bloch. She was highly influenced by composers of the Vienna School of music, particluarly Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg, whose works were making an impact in Europe at the time. Hier was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1930-31, being one of only two women to do so at the time.The American author Abbie Farwell Brown (1871-1927) was educated at the Bowdoin School and subsequently the Girls' Latin School in Boston where she was instrumental in forming and naming the school's newspaper "The Jabberwock" after getting Lewis Carroll's permission. Brown contributed stories to St. Nicholas Magazine and articles for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat while still a student at the Latin School. She published her first children's book "The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts" in 1900 and went on to write several more including "In the Days of Giants", "Tales of the Red Children", "The Lonesomest Doll", "The Flower Princess", "John of the Woods", and "The Lucky Stone" as well as several volumes of children's poetry. Together with composer Mabel Wheeler Daniels, Brown wrote "On the Trail" which became the official song of the Girl Scouts of the USA.From the library of Louise Llewellyn Jarecka (1880-1954), concert singer & writer. The wife of the composer Tadeusz Jarecki. A student of Marcella Sembrich, Jarecka was invited by President Wilson to sing at the White House. During the 1920's and 1930's she sang with many European Orchestras and in the Polish Opera.RARE.…
