Century Girl–spotify

Victor Herbert, William Hicks
From The Century Girl: The Century Girl
Victor Herbert: Collected Songs
We would like to go back to The Century Girl one last time. There is no recorded music that we can find of Irving Berlin’s songs; however, we did record one song that we would like to publish to end this week. It is called “The Century Girl” and is sung by Zachary Stains and a Ladies Chorus. It is not a light-hearted popular song, but neither is it a song that fits within the definition of a song from an operetta. It is nicely its own, without a clear category, and reflects the eventual change that was coming to American compositions.
