PREFACE TO MUSIC.
^T^HE slave music of the South presents a field for research and study very extensive and rich, and one which has been scarcely more than entered upon.
There are evidently, I think, two legitimate methods of treating
this music : either to render it in its absolute, rude simplicity, or to
develop it without destroying its original characteristics ; the only proper field for such development being in the harmony. Practical experience shows the necessity, in some cases, of mak- ing compensation for its loss in being transplanted. Half its eflfect- iveness, in its home, depends upon accompaniments which can be carried away only in memory. The inspiration of numbers ; the
overpowering chorus, covering defects ; the swaying of the body the rhythmical stamping of the feet ; and all the wild enthusiasm of the negro camp-meeting—these evidently can not be transported to the boards of a public performance. To secure variety and do justice to the music, I have, therefore, treated it by both methods.
The most characteristic of the songs are left entirely or nearly un- touched. On the other hand, the improvement which a careful bringing out of the various parts has effected in such pieces as " Some o' dese Morni7i''s," " Bright Sparkles in de Chnrchyard," "Dust an' Ashes," and " Tlie Church oh God," which seemed especially susceptible to such development, suggests possibilities of making more than has ever yet been made out of this slave music.
Another obstacle to its rendering is the fact that tones are fre- iv PREFACE TO MUSIC. quently employed which we have no musical characters to represent.
Such, for example, is that which I have indicated as nearly as pos- sible by the flat seventh, in "Great Camp-meeti7i' ," "Hard Trials," and others. These tones are variable in j)itch, ranging through an entire interval on different occasions, according to the inspiration of the singer. They are rarely discordant, and often add a charm to the 25erformance. It is of course impossible to explain them in words, and to those who Avish to sing them, the best advice is that
most useful in learning to pronounce a foreign language : Study all the rules ijou please ; then—go listen to a native.
One reason for publishing this slave music is, that it is rapidly passing away. It may be that this people which has developed such a wonderful musical sense in its degradation will, in its maturity, produce a composer who could bring a music of the future out of this music of the past. At present, however, the freedmen have an unfortunate inclination to despise it, as a vestige of slavery ; those who learned it in the old time, when it was the natural outpouring of their sorrows and longings, are dying off, and if efforts are not made for its preservation, the country will soon have lost this wonderful music of bondage.
The melodies in this book, with few exceptions, are published here for the first time, and these exceptions are themselves original in arrangement and effect. The words of the slave hymns are often common property through the South, sung to different tunes in different sections of the country. THOMAS P. FENNER.
Hampton, Va., January 1, 1874. INTRODUCTION.
XN publishing this new and enlarged edition of the Hampton
Songs, little explanation is needed, for it is done in response to a demand. Ever since the publication of the first edition, in 1874, when the band of Hampton Student Singers were helping to raise the walls of Virginia Hall by their concerts in the North, there have been frequent requests for their music. Meanwhile, though the old favorites have not been neglected, many more melodies, striking and beautiful, have been brought in by students from various parts of the South. The field seems almost inexhaustible. Their origin no one exactly knows. An old " Aunty," questioned on the subject, de- clared that " When Mass'r Jesus He walk de earth, when He feel tired He sit a-restiu' on Jacob's well and make up dese yer spirituals for His people." A half-familiar strain, recalling some old ballad or psalm-tune, now and then suggests a possible solution for some " of them ; and, as Lowell said of Chaucer, If one can transmute lead into gold, why ask where he got his lead ? " So strikingly original, as well as of such quaint, pathetic, even artistic beauty, are most of them, that they justify Edward Everett Hale's assertion, that they are " the only American music." A consideration of the slave music of the South, from the musi- cian's standpoint, was made by Mr. Thomas P. Fenner, who trained the original band of Hampton Student Singers, and arranged the songs in the first edition of this book, his preface to which is sub- joined. The disposition which he noticed in the freedmen to be V Vi INTRODUCTION. ashamed of the songs of slave times still exists. Some of the old ring is lost with the experience that called it forth. Yet the people are still natural musicians, and it is easy to arouse in the more advanced an intelligent interest in the characteristic music which excites so much sympathy and respect for their race, is so identified with their past history and their present fortunes.
NOTE TO THIED EDITION.
In 1891 a second edition was printed, and to this w^as added several new songs, including a few from Indian and other nation- alities represented at Hampton, arranged by Mr. F. G. Rathbun, at that time musical director at Hampton, and also a few from the Tuskegee collection arranged by Mr. R. H. Hamilton, a graduate of Hampton and one of the original band of Hampton Singers.
To these are now added over forty new ones, collected and ar- ranged by Miss Bessie Cleaveland, musical instructor at Hampton since 1892. The hymn called by General Armstrong the Negroes' Battle Hymn, sung by his colored soldiers during the war and since then
at Hampton, is added to the collection ; also, by special request, the grace sung at meal-time by the students of the school.

This song is a remarkable paraphrase of a portion of the Book of Revelations, and one of the finest specimens of negro "Spirituals." The student who brought it to us, and who sings the Solos, has furnished all that he can remember of the almost interminable succession of verses, which he has heard sung for half an hour at a time, by the slaves in their midnight meetings in the woods. He gives the following interesting account of its origin : " I have heard my uncle sing this hymn, and he told me how it was made. It was made by an old slave who knew nothing about letters or figures. He could not count the number of raUs that he would split when he was tasked by his master to split 150 a day. But he tried to lead a Chris- tian life, and he dreamed of the General Judgment, and told his fellow-servants about it, and then made a tune to it, and sang it in his cabin meetings." J. B.

The explanation which has been given ue of the origin of this curious hymn is, we think, in- valuable as an example of the manner in which external facts grew to have a strange symbolical meaning in the imaginative mind of the negro race. In a little town in one of the Southern States, a Scriptural panorama was exhibited, in which Gideon's Band held a prominent place, the leader being conspicuously mounted upon a white horse. The black people of the neighborhood crowded to see it, and suddenly, and to themselves inexphcably, this swinging "Milk-White Horses'' sprang up among them, establishing itself soon as a standard church and chimuey-corner hymn. o > ^S fe r^f'^^.rzi! b*_-.^ ;fei=^ig Oh, de band ob Gid - e - on, band ob Gid - e - on, band ob Gid - e - on.

(Song for the Emperor's birthday.) Note.—This song, the words of which were composed by Baron Takasaki, the poet-laureate of Japan, shows the divine honors that are paid to the Son of Heaven, as the Japanese love to caU their Emperor. The feeling toward the Emperor is not so much patriotic as religious, and the song is a hymn of praise. The glory of the sun never fails nor grows dim. Though swift-passing clouds may ofttimes hide his light. Now he shines through their screen, now clouds hide his rim, Then again the winds arise and the shadows take flight. So our nation's Sun, though hidden through ages of night, Now rises in glory ; the fresh breezes come at his call Clouds are fled that through centuries darkened his light. The people now rejoice, for their Sun shines upon all. Chorus. —Glory to our King, long live our King. Glory to our King, long live our King. Long may he live. Words by Baron Takasaki.
