Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Songs and Ballads How far is a collection of Sea Songs a monument to the memory of poets and musicians who have endeavoured to represent the taste and spirit of sea-faring folk, or a record of compositions commonly sung by sailors to audiences of their brethren? This question is nearly sure to meet every one whose experience goes back to the time when seamen tried to relieve the monotony of a long voyage and entertain their shipmates by singing - to tunes never made the subject of musical notation - songs never reduced to writing. Most of these have disappeared beyond hope of recovery. A few have been preserved, but have been so altered in the process of preservation that they only faintly resemble the originals. The Introduction to this little volume is surely a proper place in which to remind or for the first time inform landsmen that, till a date within living memory, British sailors had a set of folk-songs of their own; composed and sung by their own minstrels; and almost, perhaps quite, unknown to their fellow countrymen on shore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rovings: Sea Songs and Ballads London Docks Ghosts in Deptford If ghosts should walk in Deptford, as very well they may, A man might find the night there more stirring than the day, Might meet a Russian Tsar there, or see in Spain's despite Queen Bess ride down to Deptford to dub Sir Francis knight. And loitering here and yonder, and jostling to and fro, In every street and alley the sailor-folk would go, All colours, creeds, and nations, in fashion old and new, If ghosts should walk in Deptford, as like enough they do. And there'd be some with pigtails, and some with buckled shoes, And smocks and caps like pirates that sailors once did use, And high sea-boots and oilskins and tarry dungaree, And shoddy suits men sold them when they came fresh from sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Sea and Lays of the Land Among the songs in this collection are the Brand New Ballads already known more or less to the public, several of them having an American newspaper circulation, while a few are given at times in public readings; since I have learned, for example, that "In Nevada" was one of the stock-pieces of Mr. Clifford Harrison. They now reappear amended and with additions. In the "Songs of the Sea" the reader will not fail to observe that three or four, such as the "Mermaid" and "Time for Us to Go," are not by me at all. They are sailors' songs of the olden time, introduced as suggestions for other lyrics, as I have indeed declared in the text, and also to aid in the main purpose or idea which inspires the whole collection - they being in this respect like stones from more ancient edifices built into new houses, as was the wont of men in the middle age.

Curiously A enough, I find that as many shore people are interested in these songs as sailors. I have added a few more Songs and Shanties of course there are numbers of others, but I think this selection is fairly representative. I have been asked why The Banks of Sacramento is not inserted 3 this was nothing but an old Christy Minstrel song turned into a Shanty, and for that reason I omitted it. Questions have been asked about others, but it is impossible to use all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Whaleman: And Other Sea-Songs The thought was seized upon by the people of New Bedford, who wondered that nobody had thought of the matter before. The above is an extract from one of many articles written on the subject of The Whaleman, and his Statue, which was proposed in a little song written and published ten years ago, come May. There may be divers reasons, and none of them wonderful, why the suggestion was not ooffered before. Perhaps people addicted to wondering are not given to thinking.

Download or read book Old Salem in Ballad and Song written by Robert E. Strom and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Salem in Ballad and Song is a collection of ballads and songs that have roots in Salem Massachusetts' history through the oral and the written tradition. The songs, ballads and broadsides describe events and give a hint of Salem's past and its influence in helping to shape America, both politically and socially. The book traces the history of Salem not only through ballads and songs but vintage photographs, postcards and newspaper clippings. The book can be a learning tool to teach Salem's history through singing. The rich material unearthed laid the foundation for Old Salem in Ballad and Song. In the introduction, the author examines the role ballads and songs played in chronicling current events and saving them for posterity. The pages that follow are crammed with lyrics, verses, musical scores, illustrations and historical tidbits relating to works with Salem connections. Some names will be familiar to many readers. Famed 19th century bandleader Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, who wrote the best-known version of When Johnny Comes Marching Home, led the Salem Brass Band from 1855 until 1858. The equally famous Hutchinson Family Singers performed at a New England Anti-Slavery Society convention held in Salem in 1844, and the group's temperance song King Alcohol, says the author, was inspired by the town's controversial Deacon Giles Distillery. And while Manuel Fenollosa is hardly a household name, the Salem composer's Emancipation Hymn (1863) was one of the most popular tunes of the Civil War era.
