In addition to the numbered “octavo” series, J.A. PARKS published larger size sheet music, as well as other separate songs. Some of the early songs were published as separate pieces before the octavo numbering system was put in place. And an “1896 Octavos” number list exists which provides a different number set for some of the earliest songs.

SHEET MUSIC & “Octavo Number unknown” TITLES

(Oct., 2006: Mr. Parks called the large format “showy” pieces “sheet music” — in addition to the note at the end of “Songs of the South No. 1,” some later Octavo numbers have notes about alternate arrangements and the term appears in those notes.)
