Late in his life, composer J. Rosamond Johnson (Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing) submitted to his longtime publisher, E.B. Marks, a list of songs that would comprise a volume of his best early popular songs written with his pre-1910 partner Bob Cole and his brother, James Weldon Johnson (Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man). That list was never put into print...until now. Featuring an introductionby Dr. Thomas Riis (Just Before Jazz) and several rare photos, this new compilation is the latest legacy offering from the Marks archive, which contains a rich heritage of turn-of-the-century African-American, and thus distinctly American, pre-jazz-era popular song. Includes: Ain't Dat Scan'lous * Big Indian Chief * The Big Red Shawl * The Bleeding Moon * Congo Love Song * The Countess of Alagazam * Fishing * I Don't Want to Be No Actor Man No Mo' * I'll Always Love Old Dixie * I'll Keep a Warm Spot in My Heart for You * I've Got Troubles of My Own * The Katy-Did, the Cricket and the Frog * Lazy Moon * Lit'l Gal * Louisiana Lize * Lovely Daughter of Allah * Ma Mississippi Belle * The Maiden with the Dreamy Eyes * Mudder Knows * My Heart's Desiah is Miss Mariah * My Castle on the Nile * Nobody's Lookin' but de Owl an' de Moon * Oh, Didn't He Ramble * The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground * On the Road to Monterey * The Pathway of Love * Roll Them Cotton Bales * Save It for Me! * The Spirit of the Banjo! * Sugar Babe * Two Eyes * Under the Bamboo Tree * When de Jack O'Lantern Starts to Walk About * When It's All Goin' Out, and Nothin' Comin' In * Who Do You Love?

Norbert Schultze: E- oder U-Komponist? Opern- oder Schlagerkomponist?Genau dazwischen, meint er selbst und beschreibt sein Leben, vom Geburtsort Braunschweig 1911 uber Studium in Koln und Munchen bis zum Studentenbrettel Die vier Nachrichter 1931, dem er unter dem Pseudonym Frank Norbert mit Unterbrechungen 4 Jahre lang angehort - zusammen mit Kurd E. Heyne, Bobby Todd und Helmut Kautner. Dazwischen ist er Opernkapellmeister in Heidelberg und Darmstadt, wird dort 1933 von den neuen Machthabern vertrieben, nach dem Erfolg seiner Oper Schwarzer Peter (Hamburg 1936) jedoch verwohnt und privilegiert, darf wahrend des Krieges Filmmusiken komponieren (u.a. Symphonie eines Lebens) und seine zweite Oper Das kalte Herz. 1945 drei Jahre Berufsverbot. Schreibt danach wieder Musik zu insgesamt 70 Filmen (u.a. 1958 Das Madchen Rosemarie), zu einem Musical Kapt'n Bay-Bay (Hamburg 1950), einer Operette Regen in Paris (Nurnberg 1956), der Fernseh-Oper Peter der dritte (ZDF 1966) und an die 100 Lieder und Chansons, von denen Lili Marleen (1938) ganz ohne sein Zutun weltweite Verbreitung findet. Schultze erzahlt uber seine Librettisten (Walter Lieck, Hans Leip, Fritz Grasshof u.a.) und seine wichtigsten Interpreten: Lale Andersen und Marlene Dietrich (Lili Marleen), Rudolf Schock (Ach, ich hab in meinem Herzen) und Hans Albers (Nimm mich mit, Kapitan, auf die Reise). Er berichtet aus sturmisch bewegter Zeit, fuhrt uns offen und ehrlich durch Hohen und Tiefen seines Lebens, ohne sich zu schonen und ohne eigene Fehler zu verschweigen.Ein hochinteressantes Dokument zur Zeitgeschichte, informativ, unterhaltsam und spannend.

This collection of 41 timeless melodies is tastefully arranged for soprano and tenor recorders with suggested breath marks and accompaniment chords. Selections include a variety of influences which provide a historical and aesthetic view of the American musical landscape. The works of both well-known, classically trained composers and unknown folk artists are featured in standard notation arrangements suitable for performance by intermediate players. The one thing these tunes have in common is their striking melodies, which in many cases have endured throughout the ages.
