July 9 - Richard Hageman (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Richard Hageman (9 July 1881 – 6 March 1966) was a Dutch-born American conductor, pianist, composer, and actor, now remembered for one or two concert songs.

Or Not

That Hagemann, composer of

The famous “Do not go, my love”

Is now remembered for one song,

Might be unfair, or even wrong,

But some would say it is amiss

That he is known for even this.
