Individual songs published by the J.A. PARKS Music Company were issued in large format “sheet music,” or as “octavos.” Parks’ advertising and catalogs all emphasized to order octavo music by number rather than title, as the company published multiple arrangements of songs. Each arrangement had its own octavo number. The “link box” on the right hand side of this page connects to a series of pages that break the known octavo number listing into manageable chunks. Kilgore Memorial Library is actively seeking catalog listings, or other sources that will enable us to fill out the missing octavo numbers in these lists. |
