PREFACE TO MUSIC.
The slave music of the South presents a field for research and study very exten-
sive 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 destroy-
ing its original characteristics ; the only proper field for such development being
in the harmony.
Practical experience shows the necessity, in some cases, of making compensation
for its loss in being transplanted. Half its effectiveness, 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 per-
formance. 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 untouched. On the other hand, the improvement which a careful bring-
ing out of the various parts has effected in such pieces as Somed dese Morniti s"
**
Another obstacle to its rendering is the fact that tones are frequently employed
which we have no musical characters to represent. Such, for example, is that
which I have indicated as nearly as possible by the flat seventh, in " Great Camp-
fneetin' ," " Hard Trials" and others. These tones are variable in pitch, 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 perform-
ance. 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 Study all the rules you 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 long-
ings, are dying off, and if efforts are not made for its preservation, the country will
soon have lost this wonderful music of bondage.

" This hymn was made by a company of Slaves,who were not allowed to sing or pray anywhere
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
hymn, and shouted for joy, and gave God the honor and praise." J. B. Towe.

My mother used to tell me how
the colored People all expected to be free some day, and how
one night, a great many of them met together in a Cabin, and tied little budgets on their backs, as
though they expected to go off some where, and cried, and 6hook hands, and sang this hvniu.

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 sugge.-t themselves, and seem to be
limited only by the number of the singer's relations and friends.
CABIN AND PLANTATION SONGS. 235
" I have heard niy 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 rails 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. Towe.
