\"Popular Songs of the Past\"is a nostalgic 78 RPM recording by theCriterion Quartette, issued during the early acoustic era of commercial recording. Released on 10-inch shellac, the record features a medley of well-loved nineteenth-century American songs, performed in the polished four-part harmony style that made male vocal quartets a staple of home entertainment in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The Criterion Quartette was among the professional studio vocal ensembles that recorded extensively during the first decades of the recording industry. Like many quartets of the era, the group specialized in sentimental ballads, patriotic selections, sacred music, and medleys of familiar songs. Their recordings were intended for the rapidly growing market of phonograph owners who enjoyed hearing favorite melodies in their homes.
The quartet\'s precise harmonies and clear diction made them well suited to the limitations of early acoustic recording technology.
