Victor Herbert: Collected Songs / Marnie Breckenridge, George, Dvorsky, Sara, Jean

In an attempt to understand the foundations of the modern American musical theater, we believe that it is best to start with an understanding of the man who has often been called the Father of the American Musical Theater, Victor Herbert (1859 - 1924). For our second release in this new series, we have chosen a selection of Herbert's compositions for the voice, most of which are recorded here for the first time. His song output runs the gamut of styles classical and popular at the turn of the twentieth century, from parlor and concert song to anthem and popular song. In some of them, the lines blur. His vaudeville numbers and "Belle O'Brien" are written in the style of what we would term songs of the Gay Nineties, like "After the Ball" or "The Bowery." On the other hand, "When the Sixty-ninth Comes Back," with its references to the harp that once played in Tara's halls and "the Fighting Irish," may be a stirring American march but its references appeal strongly to Irish sympathies. In this anthology, 102 songs are presented as examples of his work. While a few songs written for well-known musicals and operettas may be found here, the emphasis has been placed on songs for occasion and event, along with much of the music he wrote for performance in plays and revues. Many of these songs have never before been recorded, and they are presented in chronological order to display his progression from art song to the popular 32-bar song. Jerome Kern referred to Herbert as "the greatest of them all," high praise coming from a great songwriter like Kern.

Fanfare Magazine
I've saved for last the artist of greatest importance in this whole project, pianist William Hicks. It's hard to imagine what a daunting undertaking it must have been to learn the accompaniments to 102 songs, and yet there is not one of them in which he sets a foot wrong or fails to find the right mood and tone. Hicks is to be congratulated not just for his tireless dedication to this important collection but for his consistently high level of musicianship in every sense of the word.
