Henry Bishop (arr. Brinley Richards): Chime again, beautiful bells
Sir Henry Rowley Bishop (1786-1855) was the first musician to be knighted by a British monarch. Born in London he initially trained as a jockey at Newmarket (where maybe he might have met my relative, the famous Regency jockey Frank Buckle who was based at the Duke of Grafton's stables there!). Returning to music, he established a reputation as a composer for the stage. However, the only pieces he is remembered for now seem to be the songs "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark", "Home, Sweet Home" and the seasonal "Mistletoe Bough". This piano transcription is by the eminent Welsh pianist and composer (Henry) Brinley Richards (1817-85). It was published around 1858 just after Bishop's death. It uses the church-bell effects that were popular in parlour music of the time: for example, Pridham's 'Yorkshire Bells'.

An obscure little song written in 1919. It would cause quite the outrage if it were written today. I make it a point to look for obscure little tunes nobody's ever heard of. I thought it was high time I started sharing them.

This is an extremely rare Screen Song cartoon. It was also the last pre 1950 Screen Song cartoon. The rest of the cartoons after this one were sold to Harvey Comics. For some strange reason the copyright notice for the song was censored by NTA, which had never been done before.
Hailu Mergia "Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument"
LP/CD/Tape/Digital: https://www.awesometapes.com/product-category/artists/hailu-mergia/
Hailu Mergia is a one-man band. In 1985, master accordionist and veteran bandleader, arranger and keyboardist released the Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument cassette. In a nostalgic effort to bring back the vintage accordion sound of his youth, Hailu gave Ethiopian music a sonic makeover. He was already celebrated for his work with the groundbreaking Addis Ababa ethio-jazz and funk outfit Walias Band. With imagination and a visionary sense of the self-contained possibilities of modern music, he captured the popular sounds of the past using the modern tools of the day.
Hailu Mergia weaves Moog DX7 synthesizer, Rhodes electric piano and rhythm machine into the rich harmonic layering of his accordion, creating hauntingly psychedelic, elegantly arranged instrumentals. These tunes draw from famous traditional and modern Ethiopian songs, as Hailu brilliantly matches lush Amhara, Tigrinya and Oromo melodies with otherworldly flavors soaked in jazz and blues, synthesizing a futuristic landscape. He balances Ethiopian music's signature melodic shape with beautiful analog synth touches, floating upon clouds of hypnotically minimal rhythm tracks.
