Question: Which country the composer of song Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise is from?

Knowledge 1: Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise
"Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise" is a song with music by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II from the 1928 operetta "The New Moon".One of the best-known numbers from the show, it is a song of bitterness and yearning for a lost love, sung in the show by Philippe (tenor), the best friend of the hero, Robert Mission (baritone).The original song was composed as a tango, and features a dance as accompaniment to the choral reprise, but many versions of the song have changed the tempo completely (there have been many jazz renditions).What some may consider the most ludicrous version is the one featured in the 1940 film version of the operetta, in which it is actually sung as a cheerful ditty by Nelson Eddy while he shines his shoes, despite the melancholy nature of the song's lyric.The song is featured twice in "Deep in My Heart", MGM's 1954 musical biopic of Romberg, when it is sung by Betty Wand (dubbing for Tamara Toumanova) and by Helen Traubel.

Sigmund Romberg (July 29, 1887 – November 9, 1951) was a Hungarian-born American composer.He is best known for his musicals and operettas, particularly "The Student Prince" (1924), "The Desert Song" (1926) and "The New Moon" (1928).Early in his career, Romberg was employed by the Shubert brothers to write music for their musicals and revues, including several vehicles for Al Jolson.For the Shuberts, he also adapted several European operettas for American audiences, including the successful "Maytime" (1917) and "Blossom Time" (1921).His three hit operettas of the mid-1920s, named above, are in the style of Viennese operetta, but his other works, from that time, mostly employ the style of American musicals of their eras.He also composed film scores.
