NOTES

This is a complete list of McCormack's recordings as cylinders, 78 rpm discs, broadcast transcriptions, recordings on film, and some few items available only on long-playing and compact discs. Only broadcast and film items known to be extant are included, although other broadcast and film recordings may well exist.
Extant recordings are shown in bold type. Information regarding titles published as 78 rpm recordings versus those which have survived as test pressings is given in the chronological sections of this discography, along with indications as to which of these latter items have been published on LP or CD.
Full credits for composers, lyricists, arrangers, etc. to the best of the editor's knowledge are given in this section. (Only composers are noted in the chronological sections of this discography.)
Selections are given in alphabetical order by title.
In the case of operatic arias, items are placed under the title of the opera. Opera titles are given in the original language of the opera, and arias are given in the language actually sung.
Matrix codes for Victor and HMV recordings allow one to distinguish between acoustic and electric recordings, and between 10 inch and 12 inch discs. The dividing point between the periods of acoustic and electrical recording falls at the beginning of 1925. Victor matrix numbers denote acoustic recordings with a prefix of "B" (10 inch) or "C" (12 inch). Electrical recordings also use this method of indicating the size of the matrix: "BVE" (10 inch) and "CVE" (12 inch). All recordings with other style matrix numbers from 1910 to 1942 were recorded by the Gramophone Company, unless noted as film originals or broadcast transcriptions. McCormack made studio recordings only in England for the Gramophone Company from 1932 to 1942, his last Victor recording sessions falling in 1931.
Further details about distinguishing amongst McCormack's recordings for different companies during different phases of his career may be found by consulting the guides to matrix and issue numbers for the various types of recordings:
- Cylinders , 1904-1906
- Odeon Recordings , 1906-1909 (Matrix numbers beginning "Lx" and "Lxx")
- Victor Recordings , 1910-1931
- HMV/EMI Recordings , 1904, 1910-1942
Information concerning re-issues of recordings on long-playing discs or compact discs may be accessed by returning to the Discography Index Page.
Information regarding the varying accompaniments for the recordings is given in the chronological sections of this discography.
Various persistent uncertainties about the credits of various songs are noted throughout this section. Corrections and additional information from those who have the sheetmusic for any item would be welcomed.
The guide to aural differences between similar takes of a given title (which was included in John McCormack - A Comprehensive Discography (Greenwood Press, 1986) is being revised and will be posted on this site at some future date.
Most browsers have a "Find" function, which will allow one to search for selections by particular composers, lyricists, etc.

The adaptation presumably was by O'Connor, although the published song simply credits O'Connor with words and music. A similar adaptation of a traditional folk melody may be discerned in the music of "The Star of the County Down," which McCormack also recorded.

- film 35mm, 70mm (1929)
- BVE 58586-1, -2 (19 February 1930)
- Notes: References differ regarding the credits for this song. It seems possible that Spencer and Glover adapted a song for publication that they assumed was traditional. It may also be that Mulchinock wrote the lyric and fitted it to a traditional melody. The notes to Rego RCD-3022 cite an article in "The Kerryman" (newspaper), dated 7 December 1935 assert that the song hails from Co. Kerry and was written about 90 years earlier (ca. 1845), and that it was popular in Kerry for a long time. This article goes on to cite an anthology of Irish poetry, The Minstrel of Erin, published in 1903 (Fodhla Printing Co.), edited by Terence O"Hanlon, in which the verses are given as anonymous. In Mulchinock's obituary ("The Nation," 1846), the 1935 article continues, he is described as "a well-known contributor to "The Nation" and is given credit for writing "The Rose of Tralee." The Rego notes also cite a July 24, 1909 article in "The National Hibernian," Washington D.C. which credits Maurice Musgrave as the composer (presumably of words and music). Uncertainties about the origins of this song have yet to be clarified.

Take, Oh Take Those Lips Away (William Shakespeare/T.C. Sterndale Bennett)
- Lx 3137 (1909)
- B 11815-1 (2 April 1912)
- Notes: Desmond Shawe-Taylor has helpfully supplied the following clarification about the origins of this song: It has long been assumed that the composer "must be Sir William Sterndale Bennett, the eminent Victorian, friend of Mendelssohn and an accomplished composer in what might be loosely called a Mendelssohnian style. In fact the song, which is dedicated to McCormack, is by T.C. Sterndale Bennett (1881-1944), grandson of the composer, himself a light-weight theatrical 'composer and entertainer at the piano', and father of Joan Sterndale Bennett, a popular of 'Peter Ridgeway's Late Joys' at the Players Theatre during the war years and afterwards. It was amusing to note that McCormack had quietly made some slight adjustments (improvements, actually) to the printed vocal line by the time he came to make his Victor recording."

- Notes: According to the notes by Philip Lieson Miller for RCA LP ARL1-1698 ("When You and I Were Young Maggie." Robert White, Tenor), this song commemorates one Maggie Clark, born in Glanford, Ontario. George Johnson also was born in this area, where he eventually became a teacher in a local school. The two became engaged and eventually married. The song alludes to features in the countryside there, including an old sawmill located on a creek near Maggie's home. After marriage the two moved to Cleveland, but Maggie died less than a year later (in May 1865). She was buried near her old home, and Washington too came home to Canada, where he was a Professor at the University of Toronto. The poem was first published in 1864. After his wife's death, Washington arranged for it to be set to music by Butterfield, who then lived in Detroit. He was a music teacher and minor composer, whose numerous other works are largely forgotten. The poem and the song attained great popularity in post-Civil War America. Maggie's sister published this background information in 1941, in response apparently to various erroneous tales of its origins that had circulated.
