Excerpt from Home Sweet HomeThe author of Hons, sweet home, was born in the city of New York. June 9, 1791, and died at Tunis April 9, 1852. Among the marry compositions of which he was the author was an opera entitled Clari, the Maid of Milan. The music was composed by Sir Henry Bishop. And includes many beautiful melodies. The heroine's principal song is the subject of this volume - Home, Sweet Home. Mr. Payne relates that when he was travelling in Ital y he heard a peasant woman singing a sweet and tender air, which made an instant impression on his mind. He induced the woman to repeat it until he could write down the notes. With the melody and the measure in mind he wrote the song, and then gave it to the composer, who retouched the notation and furnished appropriate harmony.Every one knows how swiftly the song was wafted over the world. Prima donnas have lavished upon it the resources of art; homesick wanderers have poured out their souls in its plaintive strains: mothers have crooned it over the cradle, until now it is the Ran: dc: Vader of the nations. One hundred thousand copies were sold in London the first season.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
