[Sound recording] So long Letty
Description
Recording of the song titled 'So Long Letty', created as part of the Music and the First World War project. Music and lyrics written by Earl Carroll. Produced by Chris Latham, with Andrew Goodwin and Christina Wilson as vocalists and Alan Hicks on piano. This work was performed in the spirit of the time with some changes made for the modern ear.
Chris Latham, producer of this recording, notes: 'This song teaches by repetition. It is a beautiful song and is a love duet that would have been performed in a music hall. The lyrics of this song would have made it very poignant for the audience. It is written in G major, which is a simple major, but this song is poignant, pure and sweet.'
