Argentine composer María Elena Walsh’s 1962 “Manuelita La Tortuga” for #sheetmusicsunday .

Maybe the most popular of Walsh’s many children’s songs, the lyrics tell the story of Manuelita the turtle who falls in love, goes to Paris to iron out her wrinkles and become beautiful, only to take so long returning that she is wrinkled again when she returns to her faithful tortoise.

📷 1952 portrait of Walsh by Grete Stern.

C. Ernst Fahnestock and G.T. Lockwood’s 1870 “Father Will Settle the Bill” for #sheetmusicsunday . Music courtesy of the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries. The second verse, in case you want to sing along:

“This bonnet is just as I want it
So charming, I know they will say
I ought to have called for it sooner
I hope you’ll excuse the delay

Well now I am in a dilemma
Please charge it to me if you will,
My purse I declare I’ve forgotten
But Father will settle the bill.”

Excerpt from Lou Harrison’s 1978 Serenade for guitar (transcribed by David Tanenbaum) for #sheetmusicsunday , performed with the birds outside on a clacking-more-by-the-day Wurlitzer. I don’t know if it’s more common in string music to be in free time like this (enlighten me!) but I gave it my best shot playing without measures.

Harrison has a fascinating body of work, including pieces in Esperanto and works for gamelan– well worth a lookup.

A part of composer and activist Ethel Smyth’s 1923 “Fête Galante” for #sheetmusicsunday . This was part of an opera she wrote based on a short story by her friend Maurice Baring– a “Dance-Dream” seemed like a good pairing for a rainy day.
