1920s - French Musical Score - 'Comte Obligado' Operetta by Moretti and Barde - 'Ça Fait Passer Un Moment' Sheet Music - Salabert Editions.

This is a vintage French musical score, specifically sheet music for a song from a comic operetta. The document dates from the 1920s, with a copyright explicitly stating 1927 by Francis Salabert. It features the title 'Ça fait passer un moment' (It Makes Time Pass), which is a couplet sung by Mlle Davia and Darthez from the three-act operetta 'Comte Obligado!' (Count Obligado!). The music was composed by Raoul Moretti, with the libretto and lyrics penned by André Barde.

The front cover provides an engaging illustration typical of the Art Deco era, depicting a gentleman bending towards an elegantly dressed woman, possibly on stage or in a theatrical setting. Below the main title, it lists six songs from the operetta, including 'La Caravane,' 'Ça fait passer un moment,' 'Les Artichauts,' 'Yoo-Yoo ma Caroline,' 'Si maman le veut,' and 'Un petit bout de femme'. The interior pages display the musical notation for piano and voice, complete with the French lyrics.

The back cover, titled 'Les Musiques en Vogue' (Popular Music), showcases advertisements for other contemporary musical releases from Francis Salabert. These include compositions like 'New-York' by José Padilla, 'A Lane in Spain' by Al. Lewis, 'Fais ça pour moi' (Do That For Me) from the operetta 'Lulu,' and 'Je n'ai pas fait ça pour ça' (I Didn't Do That For That).
