'Carolina Fox Trot' was recorded by the Victor Military Band on 13 October 1914 with the Victor recording label ledgers noting: "34 bars per minute", equivalent to 68 bpm. A recording by the Pathé Dance Orchestra in late 1914-early 1915 appears to be at a faster tempo - reflected in this arrangement.
Programme note:
'Carolina Fox Trot' was written by US composer and arranger Will H. Vodery and published as a piano piece in 1914, with a sub-title 'New One Step', and with a front cover description: "New Society Dance - Originated by Billy Kent & Jeanette Warner - America's Classiest Dancers". It is possible that the title of the piece was intended to be just 'Carolina', with 'Fox Trot' being a descriptive subtitle. The Fox Trot emerged as a new popular dance in 1914, and was initially danced to ragtime music.
Will Vodery is perhaps best known for the vocal and choral arrangements that he created for the original Broadway stage production of the classic musical 'Show Boat
' (1927).
