[Sheet Music]: Flow Gently Sweet Afton (Songs Of The Poets - No. 2) Burns, [Robert], Words By, And Edward J. Loder, Music By Music,Poetry

Unknown edition. Folio. 5pp. Illustrated wrappers. All leaves separated and numbered by hand suggesting this was neatly trimmed out of an album, owner name on the front wrapper, small tear at the bottom edge of the front wrapper, and a dampstain to the top of the front wrapper not affecting the interior, still a complete and good or better copy. For voice and piano. Plate number 8019. The lyrics to this song are from a poem by Burns that is sometimes referred to as "Sweet Afton," and sometimes referred to as "Afton Water," (as on the front wrapper of this publication) though when presented as a song, it is typically referred to as "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" (this title appears above the score). There are multiple compositions set to this poem, but according to Wikipedia the most widely known is the 1837 composition by Jonathan E. Spilman. This version by Edward J. Loder is unrecorded by *OCLC*.
