* In l823, John Howard Payne wrote a melodrama entitled'Clari,the maid of Milan"in which the song of 'Home Sweet Home"was the chief melody. Henry R.Bishop,afterwards Sir Henry Bishop, set the music. In all the printed editions of the play this tune is marked"A Sicilian Air'.'Bishop never claimed it as his own, yet,as no one has ever been able to find the Sicilian original it is very possible that the tune may be Bishop's own composition. |
