Happy Birthday Edgar Allen Poe!
January 19, 1809 was the birthday of Edgar Allen Poe.
I have been searching for decades now for items from the lives of Edith Vail Ross and Paul Josef Martin Eisler and it was to my great surprise when I stumbled across this music and arrangement for high voice by Paul Eisler set to a poem of Edgar Allan Poe:
Cover to Paul Eisler’s music set to the Edgar Allan Poe “Hymn to the Virgin”, about 1919
I have never heard this played or sung – anyone want to give it a try?
