In the 1910s, he was active in and around New York City, singing his customary concerts, but also comprimario roles (Tybalt, Remendado) with the Century Opera Company. He must also have studied in New York, since he was a pupil of basso Yeatman Griffith, who taught voice there. His 1920s Vocalion recordings were made in London, so he would seem to have gone back to England by then. Title: Song of the VikingsComposer: Joseph Eaton FaningLyricist: Somerville GibneyNumber of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATBGenre: Secular, PartsongLanguage: EnglishInstruments: PianoFirst published: 1901 Novello and Co.The wind is blowing from off the shore,And our sail has felt its force,For our bark bounds forth o'er the crested wavesAs a wild and restive horse.Our sharp prow cleaves the billows,And breaks them into spray,And they brightly gleam in the glad sunlightAs we speed upon our way, as we speed upon our way.Lords of the waves we are,Kings of the seething foam!Warriors bold, from the norseland cold,Far o'er the sea we roam,Lords of the waves we are.We have left our wives and our sweetheartsfair On the rock encircled strand,To entreat the gods to watch 'o'er their loves,And to bring them back to land.Each day they'll pray to heaven,Nor will they pray in vain,For the gods will watch o'er our sturdy bark,And will guide her home again.Lords of the waves we are,Kings of the seething foam!Warriors bold, from the norseland cold,Far o'er the sea we roam,Lords of the waves we are.To our oars we bend with a right good will,And all sorrow leave behind;As the white-wing'd gulls which around us skim,We are racing, racing with the wind.And when our foes are vanquish'd,And we return once more,Oh, the welcome glad they will greet us with,As we gain the long'd-for shore,as we gain the long'd-for shore.Lords of the waves we are,Kings of the seething foam!Warriors bold, from the norseland cold,Far o'er the sea we roam,Lords of the waves we are.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
