Description: Like the above, this set is part of New World's "The Foundations of the American Musical Theater" series. Not an attempt at completeness, the purpose of this release is to give a chronological overview of the wide variety of songs Herbert wrote, from early German Lieder to parlor song, concert song, anthem and popular song; a few of the "non-art songs" come from operettas but most are from revues, musical comedies and stage plays and a glance at the titles above will show predominant themes of sentimentality, love of Ireland (Herbert's country of birth) and American patriotism. 4 CDs. German-English texts (rest of song texts available on-line). Singers: Marnie Breckenridge, George Dvorsky, Sara Jean Ford, Steven LaBrie, Aaron Lazar, Jeanne Lehman, Rebecca Luker, Daniel Marcus, Dillon McCartney, Jonathan Michie, Ron Raines, Valerian Ruminski, Zachary Stains, Rosalie Sullivan, Korliss Uecker, Margaret Jane Wray. William Hicks (piano).
