Scope & Content |
"Tres Moutarde" (Too Much Mustard), music by Cecil Macklin, published by Cary & Company of London. One of a series of "too much" pieces, such as "Too Much Jinger" and "Too Much Raspberry," "Too Much Mustard" (the English translation) is essentially a non-syncopated two-step. Macklin was a British composer who wrote a few dance tunes intended for orchestras at society gatherings. Nonetheless, it was a popular hit in both the U.K. and the U.S. that was accompanied by a sequel, Plus Moutarde (More Mustard) by Louis Mentel. The charm of this piece is in its simplicity, in which the primary theme is comprised of short themes of essentially two repeated notes. (The name "Agnes M. Lambert" is written on the top left of the cover.) |
