Phillip Sear plays a piano arrangement by H. M. Higgs of a famous ballad from 1911 by Hermann Löhr (1871-1943). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermann Löhr (1871-1943) was a Plymouth UK native, who had Australian connections, and a cousin, Marie, who was a famous actress. He is best known today for songs like 'Where my caravan has rested' (on this video) - which is guaranteed immortality by Jascha Heifetz' s violin recording - and 'Little grey home in the West'. This 1916 piano arrangement is by Henry Marcellus Higgs (1855-1929), an English composer and organist, who wrote music for organ, piano and violin, and also served as chief music editor for Wood's publisher Chappell for 20 years. Higgs also produced an orchestral arrangement of this song. The thumbnail shows a details from a First World War song card for this number. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
