This book was released on 1994 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missouri Harmony was the most popular of all frontier tunebooks, with a history going back to 1820, when singing master Allen Carden introduced it into his St. Louis school. The 185 selections in The Missouri Harmony, compiled from earlier tunebooks, were old favorites used in churches and singing schools which sometimes convened in taverns. Abraham Lincoln and his sweetheart, Ann Rutledge, are said to have sung from The Missouri Harmony at her father's tavern in New Salem, Illinois. Shirley Bean points out in her introduction the importance of tunebooks and frontier singing schools in teaching Americans to read music. The Missouri Harmony, continuing the European tradition of shaped notes, contained the largest collection of compositions for congregations and choirs. Carden included thirty-seven fuguing tunes, among them "Lenox" and "Sherburne." The Supplement, added in the seventh edition in 1835, contains twenty-three hymn tunes, four choral numbers, a sacred song, and a duet; Isaac Watts was the author of most of the texts. This Bison Book edition duplicates the 1846 reprint of the popular ninth edition, which first came out in 1840. Shirley Bean's introduction provides a historical framework that will be welcomed not only by scholars but also by the modern shape-note singing community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a history dating back to 1820, The Missouri Harmony was the most popular of all frontier shape-note tune books. The 185 songs in the collection were favorites used in Protestant churches and singing schools, and many were already deeply rooted in American culture by the time of its first publication. The story of the book is the story of a burgeoning nation, with its origins in a St. Louis school (where it was introduced by singing master Allen Carden) and its spread along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. It's said that even Abraham Lincoln and his sweetheart Ann Rutledge sang from The Missouri Harmony at her father's tavern in Illinois. Compilations such as The Missouri Harmony not only helped teach midwesterners to read music but also carried a uniquely American heritage of shaped notes, a system of musical notation that grew out of the singing school movement in eighteenth-century New England. Furthermore, this heritage would be, according to composer Virgil Thomson, "the musical basis of almost everything we make, of Negro spirituals, of cowboy songs, of popular ballads, of blues, of hymns, of doggerel ditties, and all our operas and symphonies." Yet, despite its significance, the tune book was until now unavailable to contemporary choral and church music groups, including the thriving community of shape-note folksingers. This updated and expanded version of Allen D. Carden's 1820 volume now contains more than 300 pages of original and traditional music compositions collected by the St. Louis Shape Note Singers. An introductory text explains and illuminates the shape-note tradition and the history of the book. With this compilation, published nearly two hundred years after its inception, the heritage of a very different, yet ever influential, America thrives, and its songs, rich with our country's history, live on.

Book Synopsis The Missouri Harmony, 1820-1858 by : Shirley Ann Bean
Download or read book The Missouri Harmony, 1820-1858 written by Shirley Ann Bean and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tunebook and the singing school emerged as two of the most important developments in early-American music. Allen D. Carden's, The Missouri Harmony, was one of the outstanding shape-note collections from the first half of the nineteenth century and the first tunebook from Missouri. Carden traveled west in the year 1820 to establish a singing school in St. Louis, and subsequently compiled the tunebook for use in his own classes. At that time, however, St. Louis did not possess a font of type of setting shaped-notation and the actual printing took place in Cincinnati. Between 1820 and 1858, there appeared nine editions and twenty-one issues of Carden's book. Editions were repeatedly designated at "Reviesd and Improved," "Latest Improved Edition," or "New Edition, Revised, Enlarged and Corrected." A note-by-note comparison of all editions was made to establish the authenticity of these repeated claims of editorial revision. It was found that the first eight editions were characterized by simply a resetting of type but contained no changes in the musical aspects of the tunes or their settings. The revisions were in the form of correcting printing and notational errors (e.g., incorrect shapes, inaccurate placement of a note on the staff, notes inadvertently placed in the press upside down, and so forth). In 1835, a Supplement specifying "By An Amateur," was added to The Missouri Harmony. Effort was made to determine the identity of this "Amateur." Although insufficient existing records prevented positive identification, Timothy Flint has been advanced in this paper as a possible candidate. The Prefaces of Flint's tunebook and that of Carden contain identical statements and similar objectives. Flint had numerous occasions to become acquainted with both Carden and his tunebook, and was active in Cincinnati in 1834, just prior to the publishing of the 1835 edition of Carden's book. The Supplement contains "a Number of Admired Tunes of the Various Metres and Several Choice Pieces, Seleced from Some of the Most Approved Collections o Sacred Music." In contrast to the other sections of The Missouri Harmony, the voice parts are designated in each selection and the treble voice is assigned the tune. The revising of the ninth edition in 1850, was undertaken by Charles Warren at the request of the publishers. Warren was a noted Professor of Music in Cincinnati at the time and described as a "scientific musician." While Warren retained the tunes and general format of Carden's book (including the complete theoretical introduction), the settings were found to be quite different. The Missouri Harmony, a southern tunebook, had become "northernized" through the refinements made by Warren. Gone were the parallelisms, unprepared and unresolved dissonances, incomplete and ambiguous sonorities, retrogressive patterns, and lack of coincidence between strong textual and metric accents. The settings were polished and refined. An examination of the changes taking place in the musical and academic life of the period revealed the necessity for Warren's revisins. His refinements clearly represented the efforts of a northern, "scientific musician" to retain the popularity of Carden's four-shape collection while confronted with the rising competition from seven-shape collections, the progressive improvements espoused by the academic musical practices (forged originally by Timothy and Lowell Mason), and the growing refinement of taste on the part of the public by the middle of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating story of the birth and development of a rural American community from its origins at the turn of the nineteenth century to the years that followed the Civil War. Drawing on newspapers, account books, and reminiscences, the author of the prize-winning Women and Men on the Overland Trail vividly portrays the lives of the prairie’s inhabitants—Indians, pioneers, farming men and women—and adds a compelling new chapter to American social history. "This is a book for anyone who has ridden down a country road and, hearing the wind whistle through the cornstalks, wondered about the Indians and pioneers who listened to that sound before him."—Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune "Every chapter, almost every page, contains new ideas or throws new light on old ones, by means of a wealth of detail and clarity of though which brings the past alive again."—Hugh Brogan, The Times Literary Supplement "A notably successful example of the new work being done on the social history of rural America…. Faragher has constructed a vivid portrait of everyday life as well as an analysis of how the community developed and changed."—George M. Fredrickson, New York Review of Books "Here, succinctly set out, is the American prairie experience."—Publishers Weekly "Sugar Creek is a major new interpretation of America’s rural past."—Howard R. Lamar, Yale University Winner of the 1986 Society for the History of the Early American Republic Award John Mack Faragher is associate professor of history at Mount Holyoke College.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings written by Steve Sullivan and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From John Philip Sousa to Green Day, from Scott Joplin to Kanye West, from Stephen Foster to Coldplay, The Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings, Volumes 1 and 2 covers the vast scope of its subject with virtually unprecedented breadth and depth. Approximately 1,000 key song recordings from 1889 to the present are explored in full, unveiling the stories behind the songs, the recordings, the performers, and the songwriters. Beginning the journey in the era of Victorian parlor balladry, brass bands, and ragtime with the advent of the record industry, readers witness the birth of the blues and the dawn of jazz in the 1910s and the emergence of country music on record and the shift from acoustic to electrical recording in the 1920s. The odyssey continues through the Swing Era of the 1930s; rhythm & blues, bluegrass, and bebop in the 1940s; the rock & roll revolution of the 1950s; modern soul, the British invasion, and the folk-rock movement of the 1960s; and finally into the modern era through the musical streams of disco, punk, grunge, hip-hop, and contemporary dance-pop. Sullivan, however, also takes critical detours by extending the coverage to genres neglected in pop music histories, from ethnic and world music, the gospel recording of both black and white artists, and lesser-known traditional folk tunes that reach back hundreds of years. This book is ideal for anyone who truly loves popular music in all of its glorious variety, and anyone wishing to learn more about the roots of virtually all the music we hear today. Popular music fans, as well as scholars of recording history and technology and students of the intersections between music and cultural history will all find this book to be informative and interesting.
