The Man Who Seems To Have Invented The Broadway Musical
HERBERT, Victor (1859-1924). Irish-American composer of light music; master of the musical. He was a conductor and also organized and conducted his own orchestra. He composed several highly successful operettas and two grand operas. He wrote musical scores for the Ziegfeld Follies. Delightful autograph musical quotation signed from Her Regiment. Dated, Nov. 1917. At the top of the card, Herbert has penned three bars from the work which he has also identified. He has also written the words from the song below the bars. “A pretty little farm in Normandy!” Highly attractive musical card in excellent condition. Bars of music from this work by Herbert are rather uncommon ............................$550.00
