OA1031: My Home Town Girl

$12.00

MY HOME TOWN GIRL
by Louis Hirsch

New York-born Louis Hirsch (1881–1924) reigned with Jerome Kern as a leading driver in transitioning American musical theater, in the second decade of the 20th century, from the operetta and music hall stylings of the past to a new “modern” brand of musical comedy—with witty, intimate, believable plotlines and a ceaselessly melodic musical score. This studio recording, with four-hand piano accompaniment, of Hirsch’s complete score for his 1915 musical My Home Town Girl is the first in a planned series that will revisit the rare musical theater gems of a bygone era.
