Thread Name: Victorian song popular in 1885
Subject: RE: Victorian song popular in 1885
Well, in this story, set in Dublin in 1900, the narrator encounters a mysterious lady who had visited Dublin in her youth, ie 1885. She recalls a song or piece of music from her youth.

I'd prefer something "genteel", ie not music-hall. The narrator's favourite piece of music that reminds him of his younger days is "Bingen on the Rhine".

I'm just thinking, I suppose I could take a look in Joyce...
