Dear DJMLers,
I have a copy of an 1881 hymn called "The Lily of the Valley".
I don't know if this is the tune under discussion.
I put a PDF copy on my website: LilyOfTheValley

Hello Ingemar
I'm not too familiar with "Lily of the valley" but it's possible that it
is an example of a gospel tune that was taken-up by jazz bands
comparatively late in its life. Like "When the saints .."
A quick browse through some discographies yields the following recordings:
NYC, 8 June 1917 (with composer credit Gilbert - Friedland)
Collins and Harlan Columbia A-2296
NYC, mid 1917 Collins and Harlan Brunswick 5105
NYC, 10 July 1917 (with composer credit Gilbert - Friedland)
Prince's Band Columbia A-2327
Atlanta, Ga, 21 April 1926 (with composer credit Hauks)
Jack Pickell and Forest Traylor Columbia 15603-D
Ashland, Ky, 12 February 1928 JL McGhee & Frank Welling
Vocalion 5251
Charlotte, NC, 6 June 1938 (with sub title "I want you to move")
Spartanburg Famous Four Decca 7543
NYC, June-August 1943 Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet Thesaurus 1158
I've heard none of these and it's possible that they are not all the
same tune.
All the best,
Anton
