Perfect Day, A (Sympathy)
Words & Music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond(1862-1946), multi-million seller, 1910, more successful than even her 1901 wedding classic, "I Love You Truly." (See Occasions/Wedding/Newlyweds and Holidays/Valentine's Day). Bond was the first woman in American songwriting to enjoy mass-market success.
Rock Of Ages (Christian) (Sympathy)
Words by British Reverend Augustus Montague Toplady(1740-1778), set to music by prominent 19th century American musical crusader/composer Thomas Hastings(1784-1872).
When I Lost You (Sympathy)
Written in 1912 by Irving Berlin(1888-1989) in response to the sudden death of his first wife just months after their marriage. This is the earliest of Berlin's simple, immensely expressive waltzes that would become one of the trademarks of America's Songwriter Laureate.
