File:Florodora - Tell Me Pretty Maiden.ogg
Florodora was the first big hit musical of the 20th century. "Tell me pretty maiden" was the runaway hit. "Tell me pretty maiden" is a double sextet, sung by six women, matched in looks, all 5'4" inches tall and 130lbs, and their six suitors. This recording cuts their number in half, since, although it is difficult to get six people in front of a recording horn, it is even more difficult to get twelve.
This recording consists of only the first verse. A vocal score is available at The International Music Score Library Project.(Reusing this file)
