Notes: There are 2 amateurishly printed songs ("This Simple Little Flower" & "The Little Old Oak Room") copyright 1930 and 31, and a concert bill for the "Lennep Organization" (no whislting!) dating from 1932 included in the pile. "The Nightingale" is an original composition, then there are about 10 arrangements in various piano scores. String and drum parts (for most?) are also included. Most of the items are dedicated to a Miss Dorothy Watson, described as "La Belle Siffleuse" but not to be confused with the famous Alice Shaw, who was known by that title (see Wikipedia). Van-Lennep has an entry in Who's Who in Music 1915, 35 and 37 and doesn't appear in later editions, the 1915 entry is quite detailed and states: "Mr. Van-Lennep has a private orchestra of his own"
