Michael Maybrick
wrote music for "The Holy City" in 1892 under the name, "Stephen Adams." Frederic Weatherly wrote the lyrics. The song was popular from the beginning, then
experienced a resurgence when sung by Jeanette MacDonald in the 1936 film, San Francisco. Victorian in both words and melody, "The Holy
City" nonetheless remains a frequent performance piece today. The current arrangement is based on the
original 1892 sheet music but has been augmented to take advantage of brass
quintet instrumentation.
Completed
