“Swim the Channel” Sheet Music
“Swim the Channel” Sheet Music
- Description (Brief)
- The sheet music for the song “Swim the Channel” was written and composed C. Dalziel, and published by Dix Lt. of London, England in 1926. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle was the first woman to swim the English Channel but three weeks later Amelia “Millie” Gade Corson became the first mother to swim the channel in 15 hours and 29 minutes. This song seems to be dedicated to Corson rather than Ederle, but both woman received admiration from Tin Pan Alley in the form of songs.
