Musikgeschichte
First published in 1867, this landmark book represented the first systematic effort to collect and preserve the songs sung by the plantation slaves of the Old South. To ensure authenticity, the editors notated most of the melodies and words directly from the singers themselves. The result was a rare musical treasury containing complete music and lyrics for over 130 songs, arranged by geographical region. Among them are: Roll, Jordan, Roll: Jehovah, Hallelujah: I hear from Heaven to-day: Michael, row the boat ashore: Turn sinner, turn O: Nobody knows the trouble I've had: No Man can hinder me: Heave away: Charleston Gals: I'm gwine to Alabamy: I want to die like-aLazarus die: Belle Layotte: On to Glory Jacob's Ladder: My Father, how long?: Musieu Bainjo: Lean on the Lord's side: God got plenty o' room. The book presents the melody lone and all the known verses to each song. The editors also include directions for singing, along with a commentary on each song's history, its possible variations, what some of its key references mean and other pertinent details. A new preface to the Dover edition by Harold Courlander appraises the book's importance in American musical and cultural history.
