CABIN AND PLANTATION SONGS,

AS SUNG BY THE

HAMPTON STUDENTS.
ARRANGED BY

THOMAS P. FENNER,
IN CHARGE OF MUSICAL DEPARTMENT AT HAMPTON.
;

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"
**

"Bright Sparkles in de Churchyard,'''' "Dust an' Ashes,"'' and "The Church ob

God,'''' which seemed especially susceptible to such development, suggests possi-


bilities 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 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.
THOMAS P. FEXNER.
Hampton, Va., January I, 1S74.

NOTE. — The melodies in this book, with three exceptions


on pages 206, 245, —
247 — are published here for the and these exceptions are themselves
first time,
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.

" A secret prayer-meeting song, sung by Thomas Yess, a blacksmith and a slave. He especial-
ly sang it when any one confessed religion. Thomas Yess 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 lioni
them." J. M. Waddy.

(
This song was a favorite in the Sea Islands. Oiice when there had been a good deal of ill
feeling excited, and trouble Mas apprehended, owing to the nncertaiu action of tne 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.)

" 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.

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

in Jat great gtttin^up fttornin'.


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 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.

The explanation which has beeu given tts of the origin of this curious hymu is, we think, in-
valuable as an example of the manner in which external facts grew to have'a strange symbolical
meauing 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 tbem, establishing itself soon
as a standard church and chimney-corner hymn.

De wicked hung around' wid der groans an' de'r cries,

Dat awful rain, she stopped at last, de waters dey subsided,
De oie ark a-moverin', &c,
An' dat oie ark wid all on board on Ararat she rided,
De oie ark a-moverin', &c.
