The Voices that Are Gone
Author: Jon W. Finson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019535432X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
In this unique and readable study, Jon Finson views the mores and values of nineteenth-century Americans as they appear in their popular songs. The author sets forth lyricists' and composers' notions of courtship, technology, death, African Americans, Native Americans, and European ethnicity by grouping songs topically. He goes on to explore the interaction between musical style and lyrics within each topic. The lyrics and changing musical styles present a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century America. The composers discussed in the book range from Henry Russell ("Woodman, Spare That Tree"), Stephen Foster ("Oh! Susanna"), and Dan Emmett ("I Wish I Was in Dixie's Land"), to George M. Cohan and Maude Nugent ("Sweet Rosie O'Grady"), and Gussie Lord Davis ("In the Baggage Coach Ahead"). Readers will recognize songs like "Pop Goes the Weasel," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Fountain in the Park," "After the Ball," "A Bicycle Built for Two," and many others which gain significance by being placed in the larger context of American history.

Your Soul to Keep
Author: Ed Stauffer
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457547015
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Good and evil have always existed, and the battle between heaven and hell has been waged since before humankind’s earliest memories. Agents on both sides of this unending war move across the world, searching for and claiming souls to fill their ranks. They scour battlefields and dark alleys, appearing in hospitals and at the bedsides of the dying. They sometimes dwell among the oblivious masses going about their lives, not knowing that anyone could be an agent of heaven—or of hell. Hellerman is one of these agents, a shadow who descends upon the dying to procure their souls for his master. Throughout millennia, he has traveled across the continents, appearing at one moment in a far-removed village in Africa and later in the vast cities of Europe and North America. He has never questioned his duty before. But he has never had anyone show him what it is like to have someone care about him and for him. And with that friendship comes another battle—this time, inside himself—whose outcome will alter his destiny completely.
