Between the Covers

Softcover. Sheet music. Folio. Single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages. Notched and worn along the fold from once being bound within an album as a result the insert remains attached to the bifolium, light offsetting throughout, bifolium separating at the ends of the fold, and a piece of tape on the fore edge of the insert though the page doesn't appear torn, still a complete and very good copy. For four voices and piano. Plate number, 3163. Richard Realf was a poet and a Five Points missionary. The Five Points House of Industry was established to help destitute women in New York City. The lyrics echo this mission, "There are thousands of sad ones to cheer and sustain / Till the hopes that were hidden beam o'er them again / There's something to live for and something to love." Unrecorded by *OCLC* though we found a single holding in the U.S. Sheet Music Collection at the Eastman School of Music; a rare piece.
