Battle Hymn of the Republic Words by Julia Ward Howe Music by Jules Jordan TOGETHER WITH: Hazard Caroline and Jules Jordan. Great Western Land A National Hymn Words by Caroline Hazard Music by Jules Jordan. Providence R.I.: E. G. Billings 1894

18989736Providence R.I.: E. G. Billings 1898. Sheet music for Howe's poem set to music especially composed for it by Jules Jordan and Sheet music for Hazard's poem set to music especially composed for it by Jules Jordan. Inscribed by the composer in pencil on the front cover of BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC "Miss Caroline Hazard / from Jules Jordan" Both self wrappers printed in black; page size: 10-3/4 inches x 6-7/8 inches; the Howe is 8pp; the Hazard 4pp; each very good with only a bit of dustiness and age toning. Extremely rare with Brown University holding the only copies cited in RLIN / OCLC of both pieces of sheet music and the Providence Cooperative Library holding only the Stowe "Uncle Tom's Cabin" song. Jules Jordan 1850-1927 the composer of the two songs offered here was a well-known singer composer and music director and teacher. He debuted the title role in Berlioz' "Damnation of Faust" in the U.S. served as conductor for over forty years of the Arion Club the most important musical society of its time in Providence R.I. He composed one opera that was performed more than once in the 19th century "Rip Van Winkle" to very good notices. He composed a number of one-act pieces usually on American themes and a number were performed by the Boston Festival Orchestra. Jordan met Caroline Hazard 1856-1945 the fifth president of Wellesley College early on in his singing career ca. 1875 when he sang at the Grace Church in Providence. Mrs. Rowland Hazard mother of Caroline introduced her son and daughter Caroline and arranged for both to study singing with Jordan. A few years later Caroline and her brother organized the Narragansett Choral Society hoping Jordan would be the director. He was too busy at that time but several years later was successfully prevailed upon by Miss Hazard. Their friendship and association lasted many years. Hazard was also a member of the Arion Society for the years Jordan was director. Both Caroline Hazard and Jules Jordan were poets but Jordan's role was usually that of composer and orchestrator in his collaborations. Caroline Hazard published her first book NARRAGANSETT BALLADS in 1894. She was appointed President of Wellesley College in 1899. Both these songs are of a patriotic nature and it should be noted that a 1903 concert of patriotic songs by Jordan was held on July 3 1903 in Sayles Hall at Brown University and that "Western Land" was performed program for concert at Brown University. While the music is not what is associated with the "Battle Hymn" it is suited to the verse and has a pleasant tune. Jules Jordan notes in his memoirs an abundance of friends so the appearance of inscribed copies of his composed songs should be more plentiful than they are. A piece inscribed to one of his collaborators who was a friend and student and an important person in the history of education is most desirable. Jordan Jules. THE HAPPENINGS OF A MUSICAL LIFE 1922. NAW II pp. 169-170. E. G. Billings unknown books
