Haydn Quartet-"Mollie Darling"[1907]

망   향 
(헤이스 작곡,  작시:윤복진)

노래  sop.김학남


먼산에 진달래 울긋불긋 피었고
보리밭 종달새 우지우지 노래하면
아득한 저 산 너머 고향집 그리워라
버들피리 소리 나는 고향집 그리워라

이내몸은 구름같이 떠도는 신세임에
나쉬일곳 어디련가 고향집 그리워라
새는 종일 지저귀고 행복은 깃들었네
내고향은 남쪽나라 고향집 그리워라
 
아득하다 저산너머 흰구름 머무는곳
그리운 내고향으로 언제나 돌아가려나
사철푸른 풀밭위에 노래는 즐거웁고
사는 이들 정다운곳 언제나 돌아가리

The Haydn Quartet sings "Molly Darling" (or "Mollie Darling"--that is the original spelling though it changed over the years).

 

The Haydn Quartet recorded this on December 17, 1907, for the Victor Talking Machine Company. Edison's company did not record it. Frank Coombs recorded the song for Columbia in 1910.

 

Won't you tell me, Molly darling,

That you love none else but me?

 

For I love you, Molly darling--

You are all the world to me.

 

Oh, tell me, darling, that you love me.

Put your little hand in mine.

 

Take my heart, sweet Molly darling.

Say that you will give me thine.

 

Stars are smiling Molly darling

Through a misty veil of night

They seem laughing Molly darling

While the Moon hides her light.

Oh, no one listens but the flowers

While they hang their heads in shame

They are modest Molly darling

When they hear me call your name.

Molly there is sweetest dearest

Look up darling tell me this

Do you love me Molly darling

Let your answer be a kiss...

 

The Haydn Quartet made many records from 1898 to 1914. On most Victor discs, the singers are first tenor John Bieling, second tenor Harry Macdonough, baritone S. H. Dudley, and bass William F. Hooley.

 

The Haydn was the same as the Edison Male Quartet, which had been established in 1894 (by the time the Haydn name was adopted for Berliner discs, original Edison Quartet members Roger Harding and James Reynard had left). The March 1899 issue of The Phonoscope indicates that Haydn members at that time were a tenor named "Belling" (this was Charles Belling, not an error for "Bieling" though Bieling did sing at times for the quartet), tenor Jere Mahoney, S. H. Dudley, and William F. Hooley.

 

Harry Macdonough began recording for Berliner in September 1899, and he evidently replaced Mahoney around this time. Macdonough was versatile, and Charles Belling must have decided he was no longer needed--around this time he left. It is likely that Bieling and Rycroft alternated as first tenor, depending on the music, until the end of the Berliner era, around June 1900. Presumably Bieling was first tenor on Victor discs in 1900, Rycroft gone.

 

The name "Haydn" was chosen in memory of composer Franz Joseph Haydn. The quartet's repertoire shared nothing with Haydn's works, but quartets were sometimes named after famous composers.

 

Members must not have known the standard pronunciation of "Haydn" since the quartet's name was always pronounced to rhyme with "maiden." In fact, in 1912 spelling of the quartet's name was changed to "Hayden" to conform to the pronunciation that members had been using. The Pronunciation Table at the back of Victor catalogs gives different pronunciations for the names Haydn (the composer is "High-dn") and Hayden (the quartet is "Hay-den").

 

The quartet made its Berliner debut on June 27, 1898, with Hattie Starr's "Little Alabama Coon" (870) and eventually made around 70 Berliners. Dudley was the group's manager. His signature is etched on the surface of several Berliner discs featuring the quartet, and Dudley added the word "manager" after his name. An example is 021, "Nearer My God To Thee," recorded on March 23, 1899. Since Dudley and tenor Roger Harding recorded a duet for Berliner on the same day as the Haydn Quartet's debut for the company, it is likely that Harding was one of the quartet's tenors at this session.

 

As the Haydn, the group made its Victor debut with "Negro Wedding in Southern Georgia" on October 26, 1900.

 

In 1909 Bieling and Hooley joined the newly formed American Quartet (which also consisted of tenor Billy Murray and baritone Steve Porter) but continued to record with Macdonough and Dudley in the Haydn. Dudley left the quartet in 1909 and was replaced by Reinald Werrenrath. Curiously, Victor catalogs as late as 1925 continued to identify quartet members as "Bieling, Macdonough, Dudley, Hooley" and to include Dudley's photograph.

 

The Hayden (which was the new spelling after 1912) stopped recording in early 1914, with Victor 17544 and 17545--issued in April--being perhaps the last discs with new Hayden titles (17544 features "The Woman Thou Gavest Me"; 17545 features "'Cross the Great Divide"--each performance is credited to "Harry Macdonough and the Hayden Quartet"). Curiously, labels for "On the Banks of the Wabash" on 17397 give credit to the American Quartet though Harry Macdonough sings from beginning to end, three others joining for a final chorus--this is a performance by the Hayden Quartet, not the American. In 1912, Macdonough, Hooley, Werrenrath, and tenor Lambert Murphy had formed the Orpheus Quartet. This was the Hayden Quartet without John Bieling--instead, Murphy is first tenor.
