From the back cover: About Victor Herbert - Born in Dublin, in 1859, Hebert came to America with his wife, Therese Foerster, in 1886. He remained here the rest of his life, becoming a naturalized American citizen and one of the country's most beloved figures. He died on May 26, 1924, leaving to his adopted nation and to the world a priceless heritage of music which continues to be piquant, spontaneous and always captivating.
