MODERN NEGRO SONGS.
They Do Not by Any Means Represent
That Individual.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American
There is on the market now surfeit of
music intended to represent negro songs.
The chief aim of some composers seems to
be to produce music of this sort. In their
anxiety to create a laugh they overtaX
themselves to bring out something that is
as untrue in representing the song of the
negro as Ii is in presenting the Warbing
of a canary. Occasionally some song IS
published that has a good vein of humor
in it, and at the same time pleases in so
much as 1t is true to the thing it is in
tended to represent. The song old Black
Joe" is one of this kind. But there are
many songs written now for negro songs
that are no more negro songs than they
are the songs of the American Indian.
The writer of the song nowadays thinks
his song incomplete unless he has the
razor and Chicken" brought out in
every stanza. Judging from the police
records the club and pistol seem TO be the
favorite weapon of the negro now. The
pistol and the cash box seem to be their
favorite temptation now yet the razor
and hennery still live in the songs that
writer's, craving for fame, bring before
the public.
1t is also noticed that would-be prima
dcnnas. with the hem of the skirt in one
hand the other hand thrown back like the
Mexican dancing the fanGango, and the
body distorted like it is in the death dance
of the wild Indian. jumps. yells and hops
over the stage in the blind belief that she
is representing a negress. She does one
thing, and that very we'll In her dress she
represents the quantity wild Hottentot
girl thinks necessary; in her acting she
inficts on the audience a new dance, and
in her singing she possesses the happiness
of being real. for no two of these prima
donnas have the same idea of a negro song
The negro in his singing, so far as he is
observed by the writer's Of these songs and
the singers of them, prefers chorus to solo.
In the days of slavery many negro owners
when they heard the songs of slaves knew
full well that the work was going on A
happy -go-lucky race, even in bondage
they would always sing. In their church
service the songs of these people again de-
lighted In chorus. 1t seems absurd for a
female to sing the song of a negro man.
for it is well known that in every age of
the negro song the negro has prided HIM
self on his bass. Come down on de bass
was always heard whenever a crowd of
these people gathered together to sing
The songs that have been written to rep
resent the song of the negro his habits or
his life, have in late years been incorrect.
Every lover of music can appreciate "Suwa-
nee River or "Massa's in De Cold, Cold
Ground" but the people who are pleased
with the jargons Of today called negro
songs as ignorant of the true concep-
tion of the merits OF a negro song as is
| the composer himself The latter filings
| bis song to the public with the same idea
that the grave digger had of Hamlets
| going to England-'it makes no difference
| for there the people are as mad as he''
