They are rarely discordant and often add a charm to the performance. 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 :

Ever since the publication of the first edition in 1874, when the band of Hampton Student Singers werehelping to raise the walls of Virginia Hall by its concerts in the North, there have been frequent requests for their music. Meanwhile, though the old favorites have not been neglected, many more melodies, striking and beautiful, have been brought in by students from various parts of the South. The field seems almost inexhaustible. Their origin no One response to a demand.

So

most

NOTE TO NEW EDITION For the fourth time we are publishing these Negro ReFolk Songs. To this edition are being added some twenty-five new ones, for the use of which we wish to acknowledge the courtesy of Professor F. J. Work of Fisk University, Mrs. Jennie C. Lee of Tuskegee Institute, the Calhoun Colored School, and the Penn School. ligious
It is exceedingly gratifying to know that these songs and Negro Folklore generally are not only continuing to hold their own among white people but are becoming more and more popular with Negroes themselves. General Armstrong
often referred to the plantation songs as a wonderful possession which the
Negro should hold on
to as a priceless legacy.
Though the words are sometimes rude and the strains often wild, yet they are the outpourings of an ignorant and poverty-stricken people whose religious longings and ideals struggled for expression and found it through limited vocabularies and primitive harmonies. They are not merely poetry, they are more than They
are truly a priceless legacy.
poetry, they are
life itself
— the
life of
the
human
soul mani-
festing itself in rude words, wild strains, and curious though
beautiful harmonies.
For nearly a score of years I have led the plantation songs at Hampton Institute, and while in a general way we adhere to the music as notated in this book, we find that the best results are usually obtained by allowing the students, after they have once caught the air, to sing as seems to them most easy and natural.

" A secret prayer-meeting song, sung by Thomas Vess, a blacksmith and a slave. He especialsang it when any one confessed religion. Thomas Vess 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 from
ly
