Antique Minstrel Music Score

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:43:15 -0500

$5.00
Please note: I do not approve of the attitudes expressed in this old publication. I offer it as a piece of America's history, which has its sordid episodes, of which this item is representative.

This is a vocal music score from MCMV. (I'm slow and inaccurate with Roman numerals, but I think that's 1905.) It's for an overture including these songs, original spellings preserved:
1.Intro
2.Lilly Dale
3.Gwine to Run All Night
4.Dearest Mae
5.Buffalo Gals
6.Massa's in de Cold Cold Ground
7.Little More Cider
8.Old Black Joe
9.Oh Susanna
10.Shine On
11.Way Down Upon de Swanee Ribber
12.Dixie Land

This is complete and in good condition. The pages number to 15, so there are 4 pieces of folded paper. These papers would be perfect for altered art dealing with race relations in America or ???
