Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Harp of the West He slept, and his soul was uplifted, And borne on the Night's ebon breast, To lands where the red sun still sifted, His beams o'er the drouth-stricken West. The corn standing dead by the highways Bore nought Of the life-saving grain, The cattle that roamed in the byways Were seeking for moisture in vain. Oh think of the famine-struck masses, Oh, look on our harvest all sere! He saw the grim face of Starvation Look out from the half-open door, He saw the Storehouse of the Nation As bare as a wide threshing floor! He heard the babes calling for mercy, Oh, give of your millions to save! But nought from a plethoric purse, he To succor the needy ones gave! He sleeps, but his spirit is roaming Away from his body of clay, The shadows still dance in the gloaming, And bow to the gods of Cathay. He stands where the waters are sweeping The earth with a glittering scythe, He sees where the torrents are heaping Up bodies that fearfully writhe; The gold of a fair woman's tresses, The snow of her bosom all cold, Death touches with silent caresses, Then Clasps in a passionate fold. Out there, a pale arm in the darkness, Is laid on a pillow of moss, And cut by another whose starkness, Forms with it a white marble cross. He hears the weak moan of the dying, Storm-tossed on that ocean-swept shore, And voices of women there crying, Half lost in the elements roar. The winds say, Oh give to the needy! The waves say, The billows Of Time, Are heartless as we, and as greedy, They'll cover you, too, with their rime! He hears, but the love of his riches, Lies close to his world-hardened heart, Fills full all its corners and niches, And leaves for sweet Pity no part. He Slept, and he heard a voice calling, Come, look on the ocean of fire! Its terrors so red and appalling, Would satisfy Satan's desire! The glare of that furnace was blinding, The face of the heavens was white, The flames in their fury unwinding Had burned up the curtains of Night. The terrified creatures were moaning, And seeking for shelter in vain, The pines of the forest were groaning.

Download or read book The Makers of the Sacred Harp written by David Warren Steel and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative reference work investigates the roots of the Sacred Harp, the central collection of the deeply influential and long-lived southern tradition of shape-note singing. Where other studies of the Sacred Harp have focused on the sociology of present-day singers and their activities, David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan concentrate on the regional culture that produced the Sacred Harp in the nineteenth century and delve deeply into history of its authors and composers. They trace the sources of every tune and text in the Sacred Harp, from the work of B. F. White, E. J. King, and their west Georgia contemporaries who helped compile the original collection in 1844 to the contributions by various composers to the 1936 to 1991 editions. The Makers of the Sacred Harp also includes analyses of the textual influences on the music--including metrical psalmody, English evangelical poets, American frontier preachers, camp meeting hymnody, and revival choruses--and essays placing the Sacred Harp as a product of the antebellum period with roots in religious revivalism. Drawing on census reports, local histories, family Bibles and other records, rich oral interviews with descendants, and Sacred Harp Publishing Company records, this volume reveals new details and insights about the history of this enduring American musical tradition.

Download or read book The Sacred Harp written by Buell E. Cobb, Jr. and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On any Sunday afternoon a traveler through the Deep South might chance upon the rich, full sound of Sacred Harp singing. Aided with nothing but their own voices and the traditional shape-note songbook, Sacred Harp singers produce a sound that is unmistakable--clear and full-voiced. Passed down from early settlers in the backwoods of the Southern Uplands, this religious folk tradition hearkens back to a simpler age when Sundays were a time for the Lord and the “singings.” Illustrated with forty-one songs from the original songbook, The Sacred Harp is a comprehensive account of a unique form of folk music. Buell Cobb’s study encompasses the history of the songbook itself, an analysis of the music, and an intimate portrait of the singers who have kept alive a truly American tradition.
