No Customer Reviews
Old Plantation Hymns is a book that contains a collection of previously unpublished melodies that were sung by slaves and free African Americans in the Southern United States during the 19th century. The book is compiled by William E. Barton and includes historical and descriptive notes about the songs and their origins. The melodies are presented in sheet music format, making it possible for readers to play and sing the songs themselves. The book provides a unique insight into the musical traditions of the African American community during a difficult time in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
