A CHOICE COPY
The Haydn Quartet, later known as the Hayden Quartet, was one of the most popular recording close harmony quartets in the early twentieth century. It was originally formed in 1896 as the Edison Quartet to record for Edison Records; it took its new name when recording for other companies. The name was a homage to Joseph Haydn, the classical composer; the spelling was later revised to Hayden, which reflects the way it was pronounced.[1] The group disbanded in 1914.
Formation and membership
The Edison Quartet formed in 1896, with a membership of John Bieling (tenor), Jere Mahoney (tenor), Samuel Holland Rous (who performed under the name S. H. Dudley, baritone),[2] and William F. Hooley (bass). Mahoney was soon replaced by John Scantlebury Macdonald, who used the pseudonym Harry Macdonough.[3] They recorded as the Edison Quartet (or Edison Male Quartet), before taking the name Haydn Quartet in order to record for companies other than Edison.[4]
Founding members of the Edison Quartet, 1896
In 1901 they signed a contract with the Victor Talking Machine Company, and in 1902 also traveled to England to record for the Gramophone Company, which was Victor\'s affiliate.[5] The group had great success over the next decade as one of the premier recording groups of the time, on a par with the Peerless Quartet. The Haydn Quartet often sang material at a slower tempo and in a statelier fashion than other groups.[1]
The Haydn Quartet\'s biggest commercial successes for Victor included \"In the Good Old Summer Time\" (1903), \"Bedelia\" (1904), \"Sweet Adeline (You\'re the Flower of My Heart)\" (1904), \"How\'d You Like To Spoon With Me\" (with Corinne Morgan, 1906), \"Take Me Out to the Ball Game\" (with Billy Murray, 1908), \"Sunbonnet Sue\" (1908), \"Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet\" (1909), and \"By the Light of the Silv\'ry Moon\" (with Murray, 1910).[4] Other influential recordings include their 1901 version of \"My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean\",[6] \"Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield\" (1903),[1] \"Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?\" (1906), and \"My Wild Irish Rose\" (1907).[5] The ensemble also performed vaudeville and minstrel show songs,[7] one of which, \"The Camp Meeting Jubilee\", released in 1904 as Victor no. 4003, includes a very early recorded use of the phrase \"rockin\' and rollin\'\", albeit used with a spiritual rather than secular connotation.[8]
Recordings credited to the Haydn Quartet began to be phased out in 1908.[5] After that time, Billy Murray frequently sang lead with the group, and S. H. Dudley was often replaced by Reinald Werrenrath.[4] Following the successful collaborations between Murray and the Haydn Quartet, Victor organized a new group, the American Quartet, in 1910, with Murray, Bieling and Hooley from the Haydn Quartet, and baritone Steve Porter. The group\'s name was spelled Hayden after 1910. The quartet disbanded in 1914.[4] As well as members participating in the American Quartet, Macdonough and Hooley, together with Reinald Werranrath and tenor Lambert Murphy, also formed the Orpheus Quartet, who recorded successfully until 1919.[9]

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
\"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET\" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
\"VERY QUIET\" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
\"Quiet\" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
