{"product_id":"music-of-ch-dickens","title":"Music Of Ch.Dickens","description":"Re-issued for 2012, the year of Dickens, The Music of Charles Dickens and his Time by The Seven Dials Band is a lively and entertaining collection of Victorian songs and tunes which are all associated with the life and work of Charles Dickens.\n\nThe 20 tracks include everything from genteel parlour ballads to cockney ditties such as The Ratcatcher's Daughter and Shiverand Shakery - the Man Who Couldn't Get Warm. Here too are Home, Sweet Home (with which Dickens, playing the accordion, regaled the ladies' cabin during his first voyage to the United States) and dance medleys - The Christmas Carol Quadrilles and the David Copperfield Polkas - brought out by enterprising 19th-century music publishers to cash in on Dickens's name.\n\nOf special interest are several of Dickens's own songs which have never, to knowledge, been recorded before. They include two charming pieces from The Village Coquettes, a comic operetta written by the young novelist in 1836. You will also find period settings of The Ivy Green and Mr Wardle's Carol from The Pickwick Papers; and a savagely satirical ballad, The Fine Old English Gentleman - New Version, which Dickens penned for The Examiner.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B006WKDUA4\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B006WKDUA4.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:SEVEN DIALS BAND\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
