With a Foreword by Thomas
Riis.
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

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

This exceptional
collection of 41 truly
beautiful airs and
ballads from the British
Isles offers both
well-known tunes by the
prolific blind Irish
harpist, Turlough
Oâ??Carolan and rarely
heard melodies by
anonymous composers; all
have stood the test of
time. Arranged for
soprano or tenor
recorder, these include
Oâ??Carolanâ??s
classically influenced
â??Lord Inchiquinâ?
and â??Eleanor
Plunkettâ? as well as
â??O Gentle Doveâ?
and â??Cuckoo
Dearâ?â?? both
examples of the strong
tradition of song in
Wales. Among other tunes,
the haunting modal
melodies of â??The Dark
Slender Boyâ? and
â??Enchanted Valleyâ?
express the melancholic
heart and soul of the
British Isles.
A
few of these songs have
taken on a life of their
own in modern times.
â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a
popular traditional tune
of northern England and
Scotland, was arranged
for soprano voice and
harp by the 20th century
British composer,
Benjamin Britten. â??The
Skye Boat Songâ?
originally recounted
Bonnie Prince Charles
Edward Stuartâ??s
journey to the Isle of
Skye after his defeat at
the historic Battle of
Culloden. Later, the song
evolved into a lilting
lullaby and was more
recently used as the
theme song for the
popular Outlander
television
series.
Departing
slightly from recorder
notation practice, author
Marcia Diehl has
judiciously arranged
these melodies complete
with spare slur markings
to aid the amateur player
in authentically and
musically rendering these
tunes.
