The beautiful bluish-colored front cover shows Carlsbad Caverns 'Rock of Ages', photos by Herbert C. Kennicott and a small inset of Thos. Boles, superintendent.
An Encomium in Waltz Time dedicated to the Beautiful Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
Maximilian Friess Music Publisher Carlsbad New Mexico USA
The coup de gras is the inscription on the front cover which reads:
'With compliments to Mrs. C.W. Bynum this copy of my composition La Caverna-1st edition-on date of release: October 2, 1934 Maximilian Friess'
On the inside the lyrics are in English and German and on the back is a portion of another Friess song 'Love's Longing'.
A small tear down at the bottom and roughed-up edges should not take away any value from this rare piece as the photo shows.
A rare piece of sheet music-I have researched and found no other. From my grandparents estate in NM, my grandmother knew Mr. Friess and probably Mrs. Bynum , too.
Anyone who is a lover of caves will appreciate this item. |
