EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of "The Choristers Waltz" by Bernard Phelps, dated 1897, invites us to step back in time to the late Victorian era. The image, featuring a lively waltz dance, is taken from an original sheet music publication. The title and composer's name, "Bernard Phelps," are elegantly displayed at the top, while the subtitle, "A Waltz for the Choristers," is inscribed below. The scene unfolds on the portico of a grand, Gothic-style church. The ornate columns and intricate pediment frame the action perfectly, creating a sense of intimacy and exclusivity. A group of boys in choir robes, their faces filled with excitement and joy, are seen running towards the dance floor. In the foreground, a boy in a red shirt and short pants, with a mischievous grin, is leading the charge. The image is reminiscent of the 1890s, an era of elegance and refinement, where music and dance played a significant role in social gatherings. The Choristers Waltz was likely a popular dance among young boys, providing them with an opportunity to let loose and enjoy themselves after their choir practice. The cover artist, Francis Day of London, masterfully captured the essence of the moment. The warm, rich colors and intricate details bring the image to life, transporting us to a time when music and dance brought people together in celebration and joy.
