Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negro Folk-Songs, Vol. 1 of 4 Through leaving unspoiled this fresh, intuitive song-impulse in the Negro, and through cherishing the old music in its original purity and simplicity, Hampton has glorified the song of the slave as it has dignified the manual labor of the freedman, and is preserving in living form that spontaneous musical utterance which is the Negro's priceless contribution to the art of America. Negro dialect is used in these notations, for to sing these typical Negro songs in words from which have been expunged the racial and picturesque quality seems as colorless, inartistic and unnatural as to sing Scotch or Irish ballads in anything but the vernacular, or German and French folk-songs in other than their own quaint and simple verse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negro Folk-Songs, Vol. 4 of 4: Books I-II, Spirituals, Books III-IV, Work-and Play-Songs It was spirited singing and it was devout; but the inspirational quality of the group-feeling made this music seem a lambent, living thing, a bit of divine fire that descended upon these black people like the gift of tongues. It was as though the song had first hovered in the trees above their swaying forms, intangible, till one of them had reached up and seized it, and then it had spread like flame. And as usual with Negroes, this was extemporaneous part-singing, - women making up alto, men improvising tenor or bass, the music as a whole possessed so completely by them all (or so utterly possessing them!) that they were free to abandon themselves to the inspiration of their own creative instinct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Trail of Negro Folk-Songs I have had this active interest as a collector for about ten years, but in reality I suppose I began in my cradle. Both of my grand fathers owned large plantations with many slaves, my Grandfather Scarborough in Louisiana and Grandfather Ellison in East Texas, and so my parents grew up amid a wealth of Negro folk-lore and song, which they passed on to us children. And most of my own life has been spent in the South, where I have had opportunity to know colored people as a race and as individuals. How many memories of my childhood and youth are associated with loved black faces! How I enjoyed the songs the Negroes sang, even though I was ignorant of their value! If only as I listened I had but learned them accurately, or. Had begun long ago consciously to collect them and record them, I should be fortunate now. If I might go back to that time and say.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Play-Party in Indiana a Collection of Folk-Songs and Games With Descriptive Introduction, and Correlating Notes But preparations had also been going on at the farm house. In the Spare-room the rag carpet had been lifted, not because it was too smooth for the games, but because the rough boots and coarse shoes Of the players wore it out. Around this same room, heavy blocks of wood held up long boards, which made a bench for the lookers-ou. In the kitchen a roaring fire was kept in the fireplace; here the parents and children were to stay. Usually there were fewer Old people than young; yet there were enough men to discuss the prospective crops, the coming election, the slavery question and predestination; and plenty of women there were to pop the corn over the coals, crack the walnuts, wash the winesaps, cut the cakes, and watch the babies. About dusk the first players arrive. The girls at once retire to the bedroom to slip off their long black calico riding skirts and to leave their heavy wraps. The boys' overcoats and caps, too, are piled on the bed and now all are ready to play. There is no need to wait for ceremony. Thaddeus knows Josie, and Josie knows Hiram. Receiving line and formal introductions are far from the spirit of the play-party. The first four players are not Slow in starting the games with the Old drinking song, All GO Down to Bowser's. Others arrive, and in Spite of the dim candle-light and the increasing confusion, each boy can easily pick out the favorite girl, in the fairest muslin dress, to be his partner for the next set. A few rounds Of Old Dan Tucker are immediately succeeded by Needle's Eye, Skip-to - My Lou and We're Marching Down to Old Quebec. Several couples Silently drop out when Weevily Wheat is named as the next, for it is played like the dance Virginia Reel, and offends the more scrupulous consciences. A stanza from a Texas version echoes this feeling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Negro Folk Rhymes written by Thomas W. Talley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negro Folk Rhymes: Wise and Otherwise, With a Study Being the expression of a race in, or just emerging from bondage, these songs may at first seem to some readers trivial and almost wholly devoid Of literary merit. In phraseology they may appear crude, lacking in that elegance and finish ordinarily associated with poetic excellence; in imagery they are at times exceedingly winter-starved, mediocre, common, drab, scarcely ever rising above the no happy environment of the singers. The outlook upon life and nature is, for the most part, one of imaginative simplicity and child-like naivete; super stitions crowd in upon a worldly wisdom that is elementary, practical, and obvious; and a warped and crooked human nature, developed and fostered by circumstances, shows frequently through the lines. What else might be expected? At the time when these rhymes were in process of being created the conditions under which the American Negro lived and labored were not calculated to inspire him with a desire for the highest artistic expression. Re stricted, cramped, bound in unwilling servitude, he looked about him in his miserable little world to see whatever of the beautiful or happy he might find; that which he discovered is pathetically slight, but, such as it is, it served to keep alive his stunted artist-soul under the most adverse circumstances.

Download or read book Some Current Folk Songs of the Negro Classic Reprint written by W. H. Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Current Folk-Songs of the Negro Now that this brochure is being reprinted by the Texas Folk Lore Society, I take the opportunity to say a word concerning its author and its history. Although not a numbered publication, Some Current Folk Songs of the Negro (1912) was the first item produced by the Texas folk-lore Society. At the time dues to the Society were two-bits a year-not enough to allow a very extensive publication. Number I (now reprinted under the title of Round the Levee) was not issued until 1916; then it was seven more years before another volume was issued, since which time, 1923, the Society has sent out a book annually to its members. The credit for initiating the Society's policy of recording the lore of Texas and the Southwest belongs to Will H. Thomas. At the time his pamphlet was issued, he was president of the organization, to which office he was elected again in 1923. His idea was that people who work with folk-lore should not only col lect it but interpret it and also enjoy it. This view is expressed in his delightful essay on The Decline and Decadence of Folk Metaphor, in Publications Number II (coffee in the Gourd) of the Society.
