Excerpt from Songs of Italy: Sixty-Five Tuscan, Florentine, Lombardian and Other Italian Folk-and Popular Songs N 08. 4-9. Some of these songs from Lombardy have elaborate accompaniments,. More so, perhaps, than is in keeping with folk-music; but the melodies have been respected as far as possible, even if somewhat altered as to rhythm and form.

Eduardo Marzo was born on November 29, 1852 in Naples, Italy. He was the son of Carlo Marzo, a journalist and author, and Angiola Bertolè-Viale.
After studying in his native city with Guglielmo Nacciarone and Giorgio Miceli he came to New York in 1867 as a boy pianist but soon returned to Italy to complete his studies in composition with Salvator Pappalardo.
In 1869 he came to the United States to stay. For several years he toured the country as a musical director of opera troupes and concert companies and was the accompanist of many of the great solo artists then appearing in America, among them Carlotta Patti, Giuseppe Mario, Tom Karle, Giorgio Ronconi, Ernest de Munck, Gaetano Braga, Louise Carey, Émile Sauret, and Pablo Sarasate. In 1878 he definitely established himself in New York. His sacred music, which is considerably more important, includes fifteen masses, four vespers, and over forty songs for Catholic services, as well as anthems and songs for the Protestant church. He also compiled various collections: Songs of Italy (1904); Neapolitan Songs (1905); Dance Songs of the Nations (1908); Fifty Christmas Carols of all Nations (1923); Children's Carols (1925); and Sixty Carols of all Nations (1928); and arranged a series of voice studies in The Art of Vocalization (18 vols. , 1906), and Preparatory Course to the Art of Vocalization (1908). His Collected Works were published in twenty volumes (1870 - 1917). Marzo filled a number of organ positions in New York, at the churches of St. Agnes, All Saints', St. Vincent Ferrer, and Church of the Holy Name. At the time of his death he was the organist of the Church of the Holy Spirit in the Bronx. During his long and successful career as a voice teacher he numbered among his pupils members of well-known New York families. In various articles contributed to musical magazines he gave interesting pictures of musical life in New York in the seventies and eighties of the nineteenth century. On Nov. 7, 1917, a number of the composer's friends tendered him a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in commemoration of his completion of fifty years of musical activity in the United States.
