The first part-song, “The Bedouin’s Prayer,” is for low voices (TTBB). It was first published in 1887 as a lithograph by Fitzgerald Lith. in Columbus, Ohio. The lithograph is dated June 6, 1887.

In 1888 both songs—“The Bedouin’s Prayer” and “June Song” (SATB)—were copyrighted and published as opus 22 by H. Kleber & Bro. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “June Song” survives in manuscript in Adolph M. Foerster’s handwriting. Also surviving is a marked-up proof of the negative photographs Kleber & Bro. used to to make their printing plates.
