Veel van de songs van Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864), die onder meer Oh! Susannah, My Old Kentucky Home en Beautiful Dreamer schreef, waren erop gericht de zwarte Amerikaanse slaven een menselijker gezichtte geven. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schreef hij echter naar aanleiding van de afwezigheid van zijn vrouw toen hij in New York en zij in Pittsburgh woonde. De melancholie van de song komt in dit arrangement van PhilipSparke prachtig naar voren.

Viele Lieder des amerikanischen Komponisten Stephen Foster handelten von den schwarzamerikanischen Sklaven zur Zeit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Foster war ein gewissenhafter Arbeiter und verbrachte manchmal Monate damit, den Text eines Liedes zu perfektionieren. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schrieb Foster nach einer langen Trennung von seiner geliebten Frau. Dieses strahlende Werk ist ein ideales langsames Zwischenspiel für Ihr Konzertprogramm.

Stephen Foster (1826-1864), fu un compositore molto meticoloso. Dedicò a volte mesi al perfezionamento della scrittura di un testo. Conobbe il successo nel 1848 con Oh! Susanna e la crescente notoriet gli consentì di lasciare la provincia americana alla volta di New York. Ma il trasferimento non ebbe l’effetto desiderato, tanto che nel 1854 sua moglie Jane e sua figlia Marion ritornarono a Pittsburgh. L’assenza prolungata di sua moglie gli ispirò la canzone Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.
