"The Sixth Floor" ca.1900, chanson sheet music
A modest yet warm love story in the attic...
This work, "The Sixth Floor (Le Sixième Étage)," is a chanson score that gently conveys the atmosphere of Paris during the Belle Époque.
The lyrics were written by Savoisy and the music by Novelli.
The cover shows young lovers huddled together in a small attic window.
A scene unfolds that seems to symbolize small happiness and hidden dreams.
In late 19th century Paris, the sixth floor and attics (mansarde) were where workers and young artists lived.
This song, too, is not extravagant but sings of sincere love and the simple things of everyday life.
It was sung by Mercadier at the French cafe concert "El Dorado".
It was a romance that quietly touched the hearts of the audience.
This is an original antique edition of the music score produced at that time.
