Description
Here is PDF downloadable format is a sheet music copy of Maiden and the Bird by Michael Angelo Gilsinn (music) and Lilly Hendrix (words). Scored for voice and piano with flute obbligato. Includes flute score and full score. Published by Balmer and Weber Music House Company, St. Louis, Missouri. Number 4956. Three copyright dates are printed in the sheet music. Front cover: 1886, on the score: 1891, on the back cover side: 1889. This work is in the public domain.
The song tells the story of a maiden thinking that if she were a bird she would perch high on a branch and watch for her love to come by, and then have the bird tell him of her secret love for him. If her love rejected her, then she would fly away to a lone spot and never sing again. It is safe to say by looking at the obligato score that the flute represents the bird.
The publishing company of Balmer and Weber in St. Louis, Missouri, began operation in 1848, at the hands of two brothers in law from German immigrant families. Operating into the first half of the twentieth century, the Balmer and Weber Music House sold Pianolas built the Aeolian Company and at one time was a social hub for music events in the St. Louis area.
