Ballads – Composer order 5

Ballads – Pianist order 9 This selection has 100 slow tempo tunes and songs, including several waltzes, ballads and blues tempo show songs. At

the time, many of the ballads on piano roll were well-known songs, such as Home Sweet Home, and the rolls always had

words for a community sing-a-long. Some of the most popular ballads of the day are included in this selection, along

with bluesy show tunes, as well as old style ballads.

There are around 100 composers associated with this selection of music, many now unknown. Familiar names include

Irving Berlin, Nacio Herb Brown, Walter Donaldson, Stephen Foster, Rudolf Friml, Victor Herbert, Jerome Kern, and

Sigmund Romberg. In most cases, each of these composers is represented for only a few songs. With the unfamiliar

composers, it is possible you might know the song.

Over 30 pianists play the music in which Edgar Fairchild is the most featured artist, with 18 recordings. If he also used

the pseudonym Corrine de Bert, he is responsible for over a quarter of the recordings. Adam Carroll plays nine songs,

and Howard Brockway (as himself and as Andrei Kmita) plays seven recordings. Otherwise, the rest of the library is

played by artists who are usually represented only once.

A few highlights

The Holy City played by Howard Brockway. This Victorian ballad from 1892 is played in the style of the times.

Road to Mandalay was published in 1907. The music was written by Oley Speaks (1874-1948) based on an 1890

poem by Rudyard Kipling, becoming incredibly popular when first published.

The World is Waiting for the Sunrise played by Lee Sims in a luscious arrangement typical of his style.

Can’t Help Loving That Man from "Show Boat", by Jerome Kern and played by Milton Delcamp

By the Waters of Minnetonka, written and played by Thurlow Lieurance (1878-1963). Numerous ‘jazzy’

arrangements have been made of this piece but this performance is the original. The original piano score stated:

“The performance of any parodied version of this composition is strictly prohibited.”

Serenade from “Student Prince”, perhaps the most remembered song from this Romberg operetta.

Bonnie Sweet Bessie, by J.L. Gilbert, played by Genevieve Pitot. This song is said to be the most beautiful and

popular Scotch song ever written.

Background stories

1. Edgar Fairchild (1898-1975) was once described by Godowsky as “America’s greatest hope for a native

virtuoso.” He joined Ampico around 1916, and became editor-in-chief of the classical music department in 1918,

having convinced Rachmaninoff to make Ampico recordings. Although classically trained, Fairchild adapted well

to all other forms of piano music, including ballads, popular songs and dance music. He was one of few Ampico

artists who was paid a royalty for his recordings.

2. Wilbur Chenoweth (1899-1980) is known only to piano roll enthusiasts, and was a friend of Charles Stoddart, the

inventor of the Ampico system. He was invited by Stoddart to make a number of Ampico roll recordings, including

his song Dreams, which is much loved among those who know this song.

3. Howard Brockway (1870-1951) was hired by Ampico in 1911, and his roll recordings are among the first to be

issued by Ampico. He recorded under a number of pseudonyms, in particular as Andrei Kmita. He was also a

composer, he collected American folk songs and was skilled at making arrangements of operatic tunes, these being

described by Ampico as being of “particular importance…his illustrated lectures on this subject are well known.”
