| MKI Annotation | Louis Wagner is the author of a song titled "America, Most Blessed Land." --- The Lutheran Witness, May 28, 1918 (vol. 37, no. 11), p. 174: America, Most Blessed Land. A National Anthem. Words by Louis Wagner. Music by F. Fettingcr. 4 pages. Price 15 cts. per copy; dozen $1.50; 100 $10.00. Louis Wagner, 3600 Texas Ave., St. Louis, Mo. --- Mr. Wagner, the editor of Die Abendschule, has written a spirited national anthem, and Teacher F. Fettinger, of Arlington, Minn., has supplied a pleasing tune. When the anthem first appeared, quite a number of composers at once sent the author a tune, composed for this particular text, and of those submitted, Mr. Fettinger's melody was chosen. This anthem ought to be sung by many of our school and Sunday school children at closing exercises, Fourth of July celebrations, etc. and is suitable also for rendition by choirs on patriotic occasions. We bespeak a wide and growing vogue for this "German-American" tribute to the "most blessed land." |
