They are rarely discordant and often add a charm to the performance. It is of course impossible to explain them in
words, and to those who wish to sing them, the best advice is
that most useful in learning to pronounce a foreign language
:

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 the music of the past. At present,
however, the freedmen have an unfortunate inclination to despise

Ever since the publication of the first

edition in 1874, when the band of Hampton Student Singers
werehelping to raise the walls of Virginia Hall by its 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

NOTE TO NEW EDITION

For the fourth time we are publishing these Negro ReFolk Songs. To this edition are being added some
twenty-five new ones, for the use of which we wish to acknowledge the courtesy of Professor F. J. Work of Fisk
University, Mrs. Jennie C. Lee of Tuskegee Institute, the
Calhoun Colored School, and the Penn School.
ligious
It is exceedingly gratifying to know that these songs

and Negro Folklore generally are not only continuing to hold
their own among white people but are becoming more and
more popular with Negroes themselves. General Armstrong
often referred to the plantation songs as a wonderful possession which the
Negro should hold on
to as a priceless legacy.
Though the words are

sometimes rude and the strains often wild, yet they are the
outpourings of an ignorant and poverty-stricken people
whose religious longings and ideals struggled for expression
and found it through limited vocabularies and primitive harmonies. They are not merely poetry, they are more than

soul mani-
festing itself in rude words, wild strains, and curious though
beautiful harmonies.
For nearly a score of years I have led the plantation

songs at Hampton Institute, and while in a general way we
adhere to the music as notated in this book, we find that the
best results are usually obtained by allowing the students,
after they have once caught the air, to sing as seems to them
most easy and natural.

" A secret prayer-meeting song, sung by Thomas Vess, a blacksmith and a slave. He especialsang it when any one confessed religion. Thomas Vess was a man whose heart was given to these
songs, for in the neighborhood where he lived, it seemed like a prayer-meeting did not go on well
without him.
I have long since learned wherever he was known what happiness he got from
ly
them."

This song was a favorite in the Sea Islands.

Once when there had been a good deal of ill
feeling excited, and trouble was apprehended, owing to the uncertain action of the Government
in regard to the confiscated lands on the Sea Islands, Gen. Howard was called upon to address the
colored people earnestly. To prepare them to listen, he asked them to sing. Immediately an old
woman on the outskirts of the meeting began "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen," and the
whole audience joined in. The General was so affected by the plaintive melody, that he found it
difficult to maintain his official dignity.)

the old master could hear them and when he died their old mistress looked on them with pity,
and granted them the privilege of singing and praying in the cabins at night. Then they sang this

Note. There is so little variety to the verses of " Sweet Canaan " that we have not thought it
worth while to give them at greater length. They readily suggei-t themselves, and seem to be
limited only by the number of the singer's relations and friends.

hi Uat
great gtttttuup JUdornin'.
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 way made by an
old slave who knew nothing about letters or figures. He could not count the number of rails that
he would split when he was tasked by his master to split 150 a day. But he tried to lead a Christian 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. Towe.

or,
The explanation which has been given ub of the origin of this curious hymn is, we think, invaluable 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 Baud 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
inexplicably, this swinging " Milk-White Horses '' sprang up among them, establishing itself soon
as a standard church and chimney-corner hymn.

(Sung by the men of he
U. S. Colored Volunteers.)
Note. While
recruiting and drilling the 9th. Regiment, U. S. Colored troops at Benedict,

Maryland, in the winter of 1863-64, the men gathered around the camp-fire would sing by the
hour the melodies of the plantation slave life that they had just left not always very melodious;
but late one evening I was startled by a magnificent chorus from nearly a thousand black soldiers, that called me from my tent to listen to its most inspiring strains, and I caught the
following words which I called the Negro Battle Ilvmn.''
S. C. Armstrong.
