CHARLES ARTHUR RAWLINGS
3^rd May 1857 --- 29^th January 1919

I have only managed to find a little information on this composer below.

Charles Arthur Rawlings born in London, 1857 was a English composer, he and his brother Alfred William Rawlings, had probably got into music
from a early age from their father Arthur Charles Rawlings, who was a impoverished blind piano tuner. The family fell on very hard time's and
were wandering the street's as begger's, but lucky they came to the attention of Georgina Weldon who ran a orphanage, who just so happen,
was an acquaintance and friend of the composer Charles Gounod, who had spent some time in London. It is unknown to what extent both had
been influence on the brothers, but I think they must have had maybe early grounding in music from Gounod.

Rawlings composed numerous songs and works for piano, and composed for singers and military bands. Now for some reason Rawlings would
mostly published his works under a pseudonym's, for example, Auguste Cons (which all the pieces below were done under), Theodore Bonheur,
Faulkner Brandon and Dennis Duprez etc, it maybe that he did so, as not to get confused with his brother Alfred William Rawlings who was also
a well known composer at the time. He is credited with composing hundreds of tunes but he was mostly known as a saloon composer and never
made it into serious repertoire.
