Heading: (China – Poetry in Music, 1917-33)
Author:
Title: Rare sheet music of Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes and Chinese Poetry
Place Published:
Publisher:
Date Published:
Description:

(Sheet music) Bainbridge Crist. Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes / Music Based upon Chinese Themes / Translations from the Chinese by Isaac Taylor Headland, Peking University (Carl Fischer, NY, 1917) Pictorial cover, 7 songs in13pp.; and Ou Yang-Siu, Wild Geese / Songs From the Chinese Poets (Sixth Series). English text from "A Feast of Lanterns" by L.Cranmer-Byng / Set to music by Granville Bantock (Joseph Williams, London, 1933; paste-on label of NY distributor) Pictorial cover. 4pp.

Amid the flurry of both racist and overly-romanticized American music about China in the early 20th century, these imprints stand out for borrowing themes from Chinese literature. Crist 's musical version of Headland 's 1900 children 's book is far more rare than the book itself. Cranmer-Byng 's book of poetry first appeared in London in 1916; 36 poems from the book, set to music, were published in Britain between 1917 and 1933, with no American publisher, and are rarely found in the US. WorldCat locates no copy of the music to "Wild Geese", by an 11th century Chinese poet, in any American institution, and in only two British libraries.
