"Mother Machree" and "The Song of Songs."
The five Musical Hodges opened with a brass selection and then went to their xylophones. The boy is offering two solos. The first is "Mother Machree" and later, from one of the boxes, he sings "The Song of Songs." The big punch comes in the playing of the drums by one of the women. This is used for the finish and it gets the desired result.
