EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stirring Edwardian-Era March Song Cover This cover image, titled "A Little Boy Called Taps," showcases the enchanting allure of a popular Edwardian-era march song. The music was penned by Theodore Morse, with lyrics by Edward Madden, and gained immense success when sung by the renowned vocalist, Miss Madge Lessing, in 1904. The cover art depicts a young boy in military uniform, standing at attention and blowing a bugle, as a group of women, dressed in their finest attire, look on with admiration. The boy's expression is serious and determined, while the women's faces are filled with pride and a hint of wistfulness. In the background, a soldier in full regalia stands at ease, holding a bugle case and a cross. The title of the song, "A Little Boy Called Taps," is inscribed at the top of the cover, along with the names of the composer, lyricist, and vocalist. The image is a poignant reminder of the era's military recruitment efforts, as well as the profound impact of music during wartime. The cover art, with its intriguing composition and evocative imagery, transports us back to the early 1900s and invites us to imagine the emotional resonance of this beloved march song. Whether heard in a grand concert hall or sung around a campfire, "A Little Boy Called Taps" continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its enduring melody and powerful message.
