Browse piano sheets by Frank E. Hersom on Zen Virtual Piano. Frank E. Hersom was a composer of piano pieces in a wide range of forms: a Japanese lullaby (“Afahe”), a rag (“All-of-a Twist,” with the note “apologies to Dickens”), a Spanish dance (“The Alluring Tambourine”), a Chinese episode (“Chow Mein”), a Chinese novelty (“Hop Loo”), an Oriental dance (“In the Sheik’s Tent”), a fox trot (“Eskimo Shivers”) and a march (“Heads Up”). Others carry descriptive subtitles, such as “Braziliana,” a morceau caractéristique, “Capricious Oread,” a woodland episode, “Cupid Enters,” an idyl d’amour, “Drifting Leaves,” a morceau sentimentale, “Dream Dance,” a novelette, “Fireside Fancies,” a romance, “Flimsy Flounces,” a valse de ballet, and “From Flower to Flower,” a butterfly dance. Titles that travel from Japan to Spain and China, and subtitles from novelette to romance, suggest a composer who treated the piano piece as a way of visiting other places and moods. His suite “Toy Town Tales” includes “Introduction,” “The Tin Soldiers,” “Dance of The Dolls,” “Jack In The Box” and “The Wooden Horses.” “Eskimo Shivers” was arranged by Richard E. Hildreth (1867–1941) and published in Jacobs’ Orchestra Monthly, Boston: Walter Jacobs, in 1921. Little information about this artist is available.
