Verbal and Musical Peculiarities

The songs in the new book being
printed with absolute llteralness both
as to words and music, and the melo-
dies being unprovided with accompa-
niments or even simple harmonies,
singers who may be inclined TO con-
suit them with reference 10 use in the
concert room will have TO wait for the
promised publication OF q number Of
them with pianoforte aceompaniments
by Mr.. Sharp, except as to such as ap-
pear in their English form in the book
Of zone Hundred English Folksongs," !"
published last year. or the nine bal
lads which Mr.. Sharp selects as the
most admirable from a purely musical
point of view only one, "The Golden
Vanity" and of the eleven songs
similarly appraised only "Come, All Ye
Fair and Tender Ladies'" appear in
"The Lonesome Tunes" OF Miss Wy
man and Mr.. Brockway. All of Miss
McGill's arrangements, as has been
said, have been ignored, though some
of them, notably "Thc Cherry Tree
Carol" as Miss McGill found it in
Knott County. Kentucky, have n beauty
quite as great as, il not greater than,
the tunes in the collection of Mrs
Campbell and Mr.. Sharp. To these
two publications we advise our con-
cert singers TO turn, at least until Mr.
Sharp shows that he is able to make
them more attractive. The structure
Of the tunes from a scientific point of
view, as set forth in Mr.. Sharp's
analysis, is more interesting TO must
cal students than TO singers.
Some Of the literary peeuliarities of
the songs make wider and more
curious appeal. Many a speculative
commentary has been based on the
singular changes which have taken
place in the progress OF time because
Of the fact that tho songs lived in the
popular mouth for centuries before
New-York tribune., 1917-12-23

they were written down and printed.
Personal equation had much to DO
with these alterations from original
forms as we'll as the common habit
among illiterate singers Of listening
more TO sound than sense. An anus
ing illustration of this tendency, espe
eiAlly among children, is found in the
story (Which may be pure inventionl
of the father who was amazed when,
in answer TO the question what he
had learned in school that day, his son
gave him for answer: "Angie two
times. Niger on a pond" 1t required
a visit TO the school itself to discover
that this was the child's version Of a
definition which the class had been
asked to chant in concert: "Angle:
Two lines meeting at n point" The
writer has q vivid recollection of a
dear relative brought up in the Nauga-
tuck Valley, Conn, repeating a frag
ment Of the old English ballad, "The
Maid Freed from the Gallows," as she
used to sing IL in childhood:
30, have you got my golden ball,
o, have you come TO set me free,
Or have you come to see me hanged
On the skslly-gally tree!"
When a version sung by negro chill
dren In Harlem Of "The Jews Daugh-
ter" which preserves the awful super
stition, not yet eradicated in Eastern
Europe, of the blood accusation q. e.,
the belief that Jews sometimes kill
Christian children 10 use their blood
at their Passover FEAST, was nct.d
down by the late Mr. W. W. Newell,
long secretary of the American Folk
lore Society, "The Jews Daughter"
had been changed into "The Dukes
Daughter" and Hugh of Lincoln into
Little Harry Hughes" How these
transformations had erept into the
ballad was plain TO Mr.. Newell when
he learned that the little blacks had
learned it from some Irish plsymate.,
and the mother of the latter explained
that she had learned it from her moth
er, who had learned il in Ireland
There are too many Of these curious
and amusing transformations in the
New-York tribune., 1917-12-23

book before us to be set forth and
discussed. We can mention only a
few. We note "Bells, Blubs," for what
may have been "Beelzebub"; per
badus" for Barbados; "Jury flower
gent the roseberry" for "Jennifer gen.
tie and rosemaree," when in the Eng
lish ballad "Jennifer" was probably al
ready a corruption of Juniper; "And
you shall have the cheers of cherry
cold girl" for aye shall hae cheer and
charcoal clear" Some lines have many
variants which do not change the
meaning, as "He mound her on a milk
white steed," "Hs jumped upon the
milk-white steed," ale holp there is
old English) her on his milk-white
'teed," "She lit on the milk-white
steed." In Lord Thomas and Fair
Ellinor" the name of the lady is vari-
ously "Ellendry," "Elender" and
Lady Helen" Young Beichan, who
was also Lord Bateman" in Old Eng
land, is Lord Bacon" or Bates
man; Walter Scott's Lord Rendel,"
who is Lord Randall" and "King
Henry" also at home is Jimmy Ran
dolph," and Jimmy Randall" in the
mountains here. A somewhat cryptic
line in "Lord Thomas" which con-
veyed a request Of the young noble
man to advise him as to which of two
girls to choose for wife, Is riddle
me all as one" in Miss McGill's YER
sion, and variously go roll q song as
one; "Come, tell me your design"
Pray, tell me your willing mind" and
IN riddle TO you my younger son and
sdvise you all as one" in Campbell
and Sharp. The act Of ringing the
bell at a castle gate is thus variously
described: He "jingled at the ring"
"dingled at the ring" rang his bells
and rung." "dingled so loud with the
ring" "rattled the bell and 1t rung."
Quite naturally, some OF the places
mentioned in the original ballads have
been given local hsbitation and a
name, North Country" becoming
"North Carolina" etc, ETC.; we cannot
80 on with the enumeration. The
curious reader will find much to en-
list his speculation.
