So That's How
It Started
1
No Ong of the World War was
more popular than "There's -a Long,
Long Trail"; no other has remained
sic poignantly associated with , the
nnarehing troops of 1917. Yetfew re-
alize that the music was composed a
year before war broke otrt, and that
the composer, Alonzo Elliott, a Yale
senior, had Napoleon's retreat . from
Moscow in mind when he first picked
out the tune on his• piano. It made a
hit- when he sang it at a fraternity
banquet; but American- music pub-
li•shers weren't interested,
In 1914, Elliott went to Cambridge
University, and while .shdppimg for a
piano .for his noon, 'he 'tested each:
instrument with "The Long, Long
Title" The tune so enrchantedr the
dealer that the advised a music pub-
Lis'het to 'buy the song.
From the day When • homesick Can-
adian isoldiers rolled out the tune from
a ship -coming down the Thjames .its
popularity was a.seueed. It sold 4
000,000 copies; and Elliott •spent flh
$40,000 it brought learning to write
operas. After 19 years he has flnrish-
e'd his first, "What Pi+fce Glory"—just
