 Shown above is the logo of Glocken-Verlag (“Publishing House of the Bells”), a company formed in 1935 by Franz Lehár when his copyrights were returned to him after the Theater an der Wien, managed by the same person who owned the rights to Lehár’s music, closed its doors. (When asked why he chose the name, the composer said facetiously, “Perhaps because I heard the bells toll for the Theater an der Wien.”)

The logo appears at the bottom of my home page merely because of my great admiration for this composer.
