Subject: Songs My Mother Taught Me... From: Murph10566 Date: 09 Jan 02 - 04:12 PM Hi All - I've been prevailed upon to try to come up with this number; the only line my friend remembers is: "Songs My Mother Taught Me In The Days Long Gone..." So far, I've exhausted my usual sources, and would really appreciate some direction... Many thanks, Murph |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs My Mother Taught Me... From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Jan 02 - 02:03 PM I've pieced together the following information from several web sites, and it's all a bit iffy, but here goes: There is a song called "Als die alte Mutter," opus 55 no. 1 ("Songs my mother taught me") by Antonin Dvorák. A midi file is available on this page. The words by Adolf Heyduk (1835-1923) in German are as follows: Als die alte Mutter mich noch lehrte singen,An English translation was written by Mrs. Natalia Macfarren and published in 1880. The Library of Congress has this song listed on this page but they don't have the sheet music on-line. I assume this is the same text that Sorcha quoted above, and which Charlotte Church sings. Some version has also been recorded by Glenn Miller and Paul Robeson, among others. To make things a bit more complicated, it seems that the same text was also set to music by Charles Ives (1874-1954) in 1895. Also, the phrase "songs my mother taught me" has been used for a lot of different things. Marlon Brando made it the title of his autobiography! This makes it hard to sort through all the Google hits. (2,970 of them!) |
