We are so glad you have joined us to celebrate the power of music to make social change. Each of the first three SONGS OF PROTEST events, starting in April of 2017, was presented to sold-out audiences in our Rockland, NY community. This latest concert, was supposed to have taken place in-person on April 6th, 2020. We had the performer lineup and songs already chosen when we had to halt the entire season due to the pandemic. As in SONGS OF PROTEST 1, 2 & 3, we had planned to present an evening filled with amazing performers and powerful songs that have had a historical impact on social justice. When we decided to resume the series virtually, we rethought the concept. With so much going on in our country and the world, we offered the performers the opportunity to write or present an original work about an issue from our current state of affairs.

  • Inventory of American Sheet Music (1844-1949)
    University of Dubuque / Charles C. Myers Library INVENTORY OF AMERICAN SHEET MUSIC (1844 – 1949) May 17, 2004 Introduction The Charles C. Myers Library at the University of Dubuque has a collection of 573 pieces of American sheet music (of which 17 are incomplete) housed in Special Collections and stored in acid free folders and boxes. The collection is organized in three categories: African American Music, Military Songs, and Popular Songs. There is also a bound volume of sheet music and a set of The Etude Music Magazine (32 items from 1932-1945). The African American music, consisting of 28 pieces, includes a number of selections from black minstrel shows such as “Richards and Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels Songster and Musical Album” and “Lovin’ Sam (The Sheik of Alabami)”. There are also pieces of Dixieland and plantation music including “The Cotton Field Dance” and “Massa’s in the Cold Ground”. There are a few pieces of Jazz music and one Negro lullaby. The group of Military Songs contains 148 pieces of music, particularly songs from World War I and World War II. Different branches of the military are represented with such pieces as “The Army Air Corps”, “Bell Bottom Trousers”, and “G. I. Jive”. A few of the delightful titles in the Military Songs group include, “Belgium Dry Your Tears”, “Don’t Forget the Salvation Army (My Doughnut Girl)”, “General Pershing Will Cross the Rhine (Just Like Washington Crossed the Delaware)”, and “Hello Central! Give Me No Man’s Land”. There are also well known titles including “I’ll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In my Dreams)”.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Indianapolis was a rich center of ragtime and jazz in the early twentieth century. Ragtime, a uniquely American musical genre based on African-American rhythms, flourished throughout the United States from the late 1890s to the end of World War I. There were several distinguished ragtime composers and performers in Indianapolis during that time. Many were African-Americans who performed along Indiana Avenue, but little of their music was published. Most of the published composers were middle class whites, including numerous women. The city’s ragtime community included May Aufderheide, Cecil Duane Crabb, Will B. Morrison, Julia Lee Niebergall, J. Russel Robinson, and Gladys Yelvington. In the early twentieth century jazz was created primarily by African-Americans. Indianapolis was a favorite destination for touring musical shows, and there was much work for local musicians.

  • Black Music Research Journal How the Creole
    Black Music Research Journal Center for Black Music Research Columbia College Chicago Volume 8, #1 (Spring 1988) How the Creole Band Came to Be By Lawrence Gushee and Harry Carr © 1988 Lawrence Gushee and Harry Carr Reprinted by permission of the Black Music Research Journal All rights reserved HOW THE CREOLE BAND CAME TO BE LAWRENCE GUSHEE In the two years between the spring of 1914 and the spring of 1916, three ragtime bands consisting of New Orleans musicians began to dis- seminate the popular-music performing style of their native city to the country at large. The first of these was the Creole Band, which was or- ganized in Los Angeles and toured in vaudeville and musical comedy for nearly four years. It has been referred to briefly by practically all com- prehensive histories of jazz, almost always with important inaccuracies concerning dates and activities. The sole surviving photograph of the group has often been published, also usually incorrectly dated (see Fig- ure I). The performers you see are, in the front row, drummer Ollie "Dink Johnson, who only worked with the group before it began to tour, leader and violinist James Palao, and guitarist Norwood Williams. Standing in the back row are Edward Vincent, trombonist, often still in- correctly listed as Vinson or Venson, cornetist Freddie Keppard, clarinet- ist George Baquet, and string bassist William Manuel Johnson. The second ragtime group was Brown's Band, which, after working as a unit in New Orleans for approximately three years, had a small success in Chicago, then went on to fail in New York City.

This small collection is comprised of illustrated sheet music dating primarily from the first quarter of the twentieth century. Representing a cross-section of popular music at the time from minstrel tunes to patriotic marches, most of the songs were selected either for their representation of African Americans (usually in stereotypical and racist caricature) or as examples of pro- war propaganda during the First World War. See similar SCUA collections: African American Performing arts World War I Background Song sheets and sheet music have been a focal point for publishers in Britain since at least the seventeenth century and the United States since the latter half of the eighteenth century. For popular music in particular, publishers recognized early on that a well-chosen illustration drove sales, and as changes in printing technologies lowered the costs of producing illustrations, the front wrappers of popular songs were increasingly given over to eye-catching graphics. Lithographed covers became common beginning in the 1820s, and by the 1840s, color was added to the mix. As half-tone illustration further drove down costs in the latter two decades of the century, illustrated sheet music reached a peak of popularity.
