Words and Music by Robert MacGimsey
High Voice Version
Carl Fischer V1474
New York: Carl Fischer, Inc. 1940
A blogpost article by Mary Katherine May of QualityMusicandBooks.com.
Robert MacGimsey is best known for his song, Sweet Little Jesus Boy. What I have to offer here at the present time are two links to more information about him along with an image of the back side of the vintage sheet music cover of the song, My Child Asleep, published by Carl Fischer in 1940.
Interesting little tidbits pop up here and there when collecting sheet music. I found reading about MacGimsey and his accomplishments quite interesting. The Wikipedia article was disappointing, and I am hoping that maybe someone with authoritative source information will add to the article.
I have no score to show because the song may still be under copyright, though the one very scarce copy from my library is now available for purchase through our webstore, QualityMusicandBooks.com.
Robert MacGimsey: Wikipedia Article This article is very short.
