A Perfect Day Sheet Music with Cello Obligato
This is a piece of vintage sheet music titled "A Perfect Day" with 'Cello Obligato, indicating it is arranged for voice, piano, and cello. The music is presented in a Moderato espressivo tempo. The sheet music is printed on aged, off-white paper, typical of publications from the early 20th century. The paper exhibits significant signs of wear including dog-eared corners, creases, and small tears along the edges, particularly on the right side and top. There is visible discoloration and foxing consistent with age and moisture exposure. The printing is in black ink and remains largely legible, showing the musical staff, notes, lyrics, and performance instructions. At the bottom, clear manufacturing information is visible: "Copyright, MCXX by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Chicago. Ill." which translates to 1912, and "International Copyright Secured." The arrangement is credited as Words and Music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, indicating she was both the composer and lyricist. The overall condition suggests the sheet music was used and stored for a long period without acid-free protection. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced printed music of the era.
