COUNTRY SCHOOL LEGACY: MUSIC ON THE FRONTIER

Paul A. Haack

She looked at the line of children. There, the very first inline was Georgie Bailey, his bright blue gaze fixed expectant-ly upon her. "How did you get them in? Did you just say, comein, children? Or --"

"What are we going to sing?" Georgie asked.

"Sing?"

"We always march in singing."

And so the year began with "Onward Christian Soldiers." Class

adjourned that way, too. (Marion Cockrell, The Revolt ofSarah Perkins, New York: David McKay, 1965)

This paper is meant to provide an overview of early country school

music and music education in the mountain-plains region of America. The

first section is an informal amalgam of impressions gained from the

sources listed in the bibliography, including texts, journals, official

reports and personal interviews. Part II is comprised of a more formal

analysis of the song materials useci in the country schools, and will

focus particularly on material from the last half of the 19th century

and the early 20th century, when the frontier was moving westward across

the Mountain Plains region. The analysis will be concerned with the

verbal, musical and functional elements of the selected sampling of

songs, and among other things will emphasize the use of music in the

enculturation and Americanization of various frontier ethnic groups--in

keeping with the then prevalent "melting pot" theory.

Part I

Music in the Country Schools: An Impressionistic Narrative

Music seems to have been a part of many country schools' activities

f..-om the earliest time forward. Often, particularly at first, it was

not regarded as a curricular subject to be studied for its own sake, not

as a "basic" in the sense of "readin', writin' and rhythms," but it soon

was recognized as a basic in a more direct, functional sense. It was

employed as a socializer to engender a community spirit of oneness and

belonging in the students (and during the weekend or evening activities,

it did the same for their elders as well). It was employed as a means

of enculturation to the "American way of life" for the ethically diverse

populations found on the frontier. It was used as an entertainment, as

an enjoyable change of pace from other kinds of school activities.

Often it was used as a symbol of validation--to officially open the

school day with a song. And at other times it was simply used to accom-

pany a march around the eassroom, which during cold weather was done

not so much for rhythmic activity as in an effort to keep the students'

feet from freezing. Thus music, probably less for aesthetic purposes

and more for functional reasons, found its way into frontier country

schools from the earliest of times.

Before detailing various aspects of music as a curricular and

extracurricular activity in the mountain-plains country schools, it may

be appropriate to recognize that music served to enhance many community

activities in the schools as well. It is an established fact that

country schools were (and in some cases still arc) the community centers

of their time; and many of the activities carried on as a part of this

function involved, if not featured, music.

Country school community centers provided the setting for meetings

(which often were introduced with a patriotic song, or had a musical

intermission by a school performing group); talks, lectures speeches

(which programs also were often introduced or interspersed with music);

picnics (with sing-alongs and other musical entertainments); box socials

and cakewalks (wherein a musical game determined who got what food--and

partner); patriotic celebrations (often involving appropriatel3, patrio-

tic songs, and combining several of the aforementioned activities);

worship and revival services, plays, dramas (all of which could involve

appropriate music); dances (wherein folk and ethnic musical styles often

domilated); and a variety of other activities, not the least of which

were musical concerts themselves. This last category, like some of the

aforementioned, might involve noted artists such as Jenny Lind travel-

ling the concert circuit under the auspices of P.T. Barnum, or more

commonly, local talent.

Obviously, such activities involved various segments, and often all

of the community. In the following sections the focus will return to

the more scholastic aspects of music in the country schools. These will

include consideration of the roles of teachers and students in the

instructional process; the matter of instrunental music; technology in

the form of the grammophone, victrola, radio, etc; and finally the

matter of music texts and the all important song literature employed in

the schools. This last area will lead to Part II and a formal-

functional analysis of a sampling of songs used in the country schools.

Teachers tended to play, sing, and /or teach music according to

their individual abilities. As early as the 1860's teachers' institutes

encouraged special attention "to the science of music" (The Kansas

Page 7: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

4

Educational Journal, Vol. 6, Oct. 1869, page 138). Singing as a part of

daily opening exercises was so common as to be virtually a standard part

of tne curriculum. However, beyond that point, the quantity and quality

of music activity in the schools varied a great deal--mostly with the

abilities of the teacher.

Prior to the second or third decade of the twentieth century, very

few teacher preparation programs gave much if any attention to music

education. If the teacher had not developed skills or taken lessons on

his or her own, he or she simply would not have much to offer the stu-

dents in the way of music instruction. At times, however, such circum-

stances were alleviated by the contributions of musically experienced

people in the community. Occasionally even an older student, possibly

someone who had had the opportunity to take some lessons from a "pro-

fessor" (private music teacher), would assume responsibility for some

music activities in the school.

By the 1920's there are accounts of music specialists serving the

rural schools of a country. In many cases each school was visited only

once or twice a month, during which time some intensive instruction took

place, and plans for follow-up instruction were made with the local

teacher. In one instance it was reported that the circuit riding music

teacher travelled by horseback; and in another case, the teacher went

over hill and dale, in sun and gale, via her bicycle. Travelling music.

specialists became more common toward the middle of the twentieth cen-

tury. Specialists aside, one county superintendent reported favoring

teachers who possessed some music competencies in the hiring process for

rural schools. Others encouraged thier teachers to take a general music

methods course.

Page 8: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

While most of the early music instruction centered on vocal and

rhythmic activities, instrumental groups soon sprang up and were incor-

porated into school programs. At times musically experienced country

school teachers also taught private lessons, or a student learned from

dad, using his fiddle, from mom, from the church organist, or from a

"professor" if such a person was available and affordable. In any

event, enterprising teachers would help the instrumentally experienced

young people it the schools band together into performing groups. These

often were called orchestras, even if they had only one orchestral

string instrument or only a guitar or mandolin. If there were no

strings of any kind, only winds and percussion, they were called bands,

even if membership numbered only four or five.

Late in the first quarter of the twentieth century there are re-

ports of schools combining their bands to form larger groups for more

exciting musical activities and events. In the second quarter of the-

century there are reports of accordion bands; and apparently tonette

ea:embles and rhythm bands were quite popular at this time as well, when

teachers felt able to organize them. Eventually those districts that

could afford music specialists had some more formal instruction in

instrumental music; however, v cal music remained the backbone of the

general music program. Some s ols even produced operettas on a yearly

basis, and many participated in massed song festivals.

Primary accompanying instruments for music activities in the rural

schools were organs and pianos. From what can be gather'd concerning

relative use, it appears that organs competed effectively with pianos

and might actually have been more common in the nineteenth century

(pianos having only been devised in the late eighteenth century). One

interviewee mentioned a story about how a giant box social provided the

entire financing for the purchase of an organ for the school. However,

of Vile twentieth century the heavier, metal framed

Frontier, and by

in some school/Settings, so skilled or not, people could put on, pump

out and sing a'ong with the rolls of the latest popular music.

The next technological advance to influence music education in the

country schools of the frontier was the grammaphone-record player. Many

interviewees report the use of Sousa marches which were early "hit-

parade" favorites around the turn of the century. As mentioned earlier,

these were used on cold days when teachers had children march around the

room to warm their half-frozen feet; but also when children were rest-

less during stormy weather and needed physical activity; to teach

"beats" and rhythms, and just for fun listening. Soon, in addition to

marches and other popular forms, classical music recordings became

available. The "classics" provided the basis for music appreciation

classes in the rural schools. They also provided a basis for the "music

memory" contests which became popular later on, and in which many rural

school children participated.

Radio was readily adapted to music instruction for country schools.

Shortly after network radio bacame effective in the 1920's, music educa-

tion programs were being broadcast to rural areas. Orien Dailey of

Wichita, Kansas was a pioneer in the desiLlopment of such prugrams. They

were broadcast once or several times a week and involved listening to

music, singing along, learning the names of notes, lines and spaces,

Page 10: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

scales, etc. In time, supplementary music booklets were available for

use by the teachers and students during and between broadcasts. Thus

the expertise of a master music teacher became available to many rural

schools via the airwaves.

Of the various types of music literature mentioned in the foregoing

sections, the most common is song literature. The Lamar, Colorado Arbor

Day Program of April 16, 1892 included the following: "Marching Through

Georgia," ."Columbia, Gem of the Ocean," "Rally Round the Flag," and

"Yankee Boy." It was mentioned in various interviews that in many

schools it was not unusual to spend at least 15 minutes a day singing

from song books. Children memorized patriotic songs, rounds, folk and

country tunes, as well as "silly songs" and popular ballads. Immigrant

children sang the same music as native children in the schools. Even

children of parents who generally spoke a language other than English

learned the English songs, and no rep.rts indicated that pupils learned

songs in other languages. This would probably have been regarded as

contrary to the principles of the great "melting pot." This does not

mean that songs of ethnic heritage were not learned and transmitted. It

is just that they generally were not employed as a part of school activi-

ties (except possibly it a most solidly ethnic community). Such music

was generally learned in the home, or at dances and other social func-

tions.

[It might be interesting to note that the music scores and song

books used in the Mountain-Plains region employed round notes from the

very first, rather than shape notes. This is of significance because

shape notes were largely a southern tradition, whereas round notes were

espoused by Lowell Mason of Boston music education fame. The general

influence of shape notes went no further north or west than Missouri, a

slave state at the time. It could not penetrate Kansas, in part due to

the Boston influence of the New England Immigrant Aid Society which sent

settlers and helped bring the territory into the Union as a free state.]

Several specific song titles mentioned by interviewees include:

"What a Friend We Nave in Jesus" (and many other religious hymn-tunes,

particularly in the early days); "America;" "Home Sweet Home;" "Stars

and Stripes Forever" (words were sung to the trio); "Red River Valley;"

"Jaunita;" "sop Goes the Weasel;" "Row, Row, Row Your Boat;" "It's a

Long Way to Tipperary:" "You're a Grand Old Flag;" "Blest be the Tie

that Binds;" "Battle Hymn of the Republic;" and "America the Beautiful."

Such songs functioned in many ways, but several of the most signif-

icant functons in the frontier school setting were the Americanization

(enculturation) of ethnic groups, the engendering of the American spir-

it, the uniting of a multi-cultural natipn, and the enhancement of

patriotism. Other common topics and functions were the transmission of

religious-spiritual attitudes and beliefs, personal values, interper-

sonal relationships, as well as feelings for the beauties of the land

and the wonders of nature.

Part II following will examine these functions via an analysis of

the verbal and musical content of a sampling of some older and more

obscure (to us, today) songs. These have been selected from music books

which were in use during the latter half of the ninteenth century and

the early part of the twentieth century--as the frontier moved through

the Mountain-Plains region.

Part II

Songs in the Frontier Schools: A Sampling and Analysis

Music books, primarily song books, followed the frontier schools

westward. The following resolution was passed at the Coffey County,

Kansas Teachers' Institute in 1869:

Resolved, that we give special attention, so far aspracticable, to the science of music--to become familiar withits principles ourselves, and to teach the same in our commonschools--and further, that we recommend to our teachers theuse of "Blackman's Graded School Songs" in the schools of this

county. (The Kansas Education Journal, Vol. 6, Oct. 1869, p.

138)

There is substantial reason to believe that the texts from which

examples were taken were actually used in the schools of the region be-

cause (a) the aforementioned songs a.._ in them; and (b) they were found

)

and collected in the region. Th texts currently reside in the Kansas

Historical Collection in Music ducation, University of Kansas, Law-

rence. The first several songs have been selected for analysis by

virtue of the fact that they were considered for use in the production

of the film which is a part of the Country Schools Legacy project, and

this should make them of some special interest.

Part II concludes with listings of song titles which serve to

expand on the song analyses and provide a broader sampling of the types

of song topics which were employed in the early music texts of the

contry schools.

Text

4

The lyrics and thee_ simple rhyming scheme are very orderly, re-

flecting the theme of the song: Nature's simple, revitalizing bea4,ies

and order are reflected the dawning of each new day. The text is a

very positive one ("We come...With faces blithe and gay,"); and extolls

the glories of the natural environment.

Music

The musical form is as regular and orderly as the text, being

strictly comprised of six two-measure phrases. These pair off nicely

into three sets, providing a straight-forward ABC form. The harmony is

based on simple I,IV,V chords and the melody echoes this simplicity by

adhering almost exclusively to the natural chord (arpeggio) and scale

tones. Ikhythmi.cally the piece reflects the 'same principles, having a

perfectly symetrical AABBAA rhythmic format.

Functions*

Communication: The song espouses a love of nautre and the beauty of the

natural environment and order of things.

Emotional Expression: The song is a hiely positive expression about

life, the renewal of life, and,6e-place of existence.

Enforcing conformity to social norms: The work (as well as play) eti.c

is espoused in a highly positive manner.

Contribution to the integration of society: The song extolls the abun-

dance and beauties of the land which are common bonds for the

various ethnic groups which share them.

Page 14: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

11

Aesthetic Engjoyment: The words and music reflect a valuing for the

orderly progression of simple beauties, and should stimulate some

enjoyment and appreciation particularly for those of a "classical"

nature.

Note: In the rilm, this piece could function as background for the

opening scene wherein youngsters are making their way to school in

the early morning.

"Gentle Rain"

J. R, Murray

Blackman, 0., and Whittemore, EE, and Blackman; 0., Graded Singers:

Book Three.* Cincinnati: John Church Co., 1973, p. 71.

Text

Each of the two verses of this brief but cheerful song has six

phrases, with regul=ar accent points in each phrase. The rhyming scheme

is a simple ABAACC. Frontier-agrarian values abound as the gentle rain

is called upon to "make our meadows bright," bless the fields, and cool

the earth. The spiritual element is acknowledged with rain equated to a

Gift of our dear Father's love."

Music

The stylistic marking for this song is "cheerfully," and the melody

gives a "running" feeling with two notes per beat most of the time. The

lighthearted effect is enhanted by several "skipping" figures (dotted

eight-sixteenth notes). The melodic form is a simple ABC, or could even

be construed as ABA-variation. This little tune is treated in a more

interesting harmonic manner than most simple songs. The first and third

sections have three part harmony (though the entire song could be done

in unison). The second an third lines move together and at times quite

independently from the meludy. The second section has the melody singing

two measures alone, echoed by the other voices in unison; Musically the

harmonic aspect is the most Interesting factor, and includes a super-

tonic chord as well as secondary dominants. The high points or climax

of the song occurs at the end of the third last measure with a fermata

(hold) on the key words "love" and "shower."

Functions

Emotional Expression: The song engenders happiness and a positive,

thankful attitude.

Entertainment and Aesthetic Enjoyment: The harmonic and rhythmic

aspects' lend life and musical interest to the song.

Communication: The song clearly expresses an appreciation for

rain, a high regard for nature in general, and a thankful

attitude toward God.

Contribution to the Continuity of Culture and the Integration of

Society: The song expresses common values in terms of what

was important in the rural frontier society--good rain, a

cheerful, positive attitude toward life and nature, and a

thankful reliance on God.

family and friends on the occasion of a school program. A number of

values and attitudes are conveyed, e.g., "Kind friends and dear par-

ents;" "good lessons;" "make us submissive and gentle, and kind;" "for

learning, we know, is more precious than gold;" "and thus lay up trea-

sures in mansions above;" etc. The song also begs the audiences' indul-

gence: "Remember we are all quite young; You'll pardon our blunders."

The meter is extremely steady and the rhyming scheme is a simple

AABBCCDD for each of the two verses.

Music

The melodic line is simple and clear, so as to enhance but not

obscure the simple but important communication of the words. The piece

is in three-quarter time with each phrase beginning on the third count

of a measure. Virtually everything moves at a steady quarter note pace

except that every phrase ending is a half note. The melodic structure

might be termed A,B,A,C,B (var.), B (var.), A (var.), D, but the real

unifying element is the continual repetition of 10 quarter notes follow-

ed by a half note. The harmony is not provided in this test, but very

obviously can be accounted for by basic I, IV, V chords--except for the

cadence half way through: In the fourth phrase there is a modulation,

*For "Primary Schools and Juvenile Classes."

17

involving a secondary dominant, to the dominant. This is the only point

of any musical sophistication in the piece, and lends a nice bit of

variety. The original key returns immediately at the beginning of the

next phrase via a phrase modulation.

. Functions

Emotional Expression: The song expresses earnest good wishes and

fond good wishes, love and friendship.

Entertainment: It is an entertaining way to introduce a school

program and provide basic information.

Communication: Introductory remarks and cautions, goals ani good

will are all being communicated as noted in the preceding

"Text" section.

Physical Response: This is not a major function, but the repeti-

tive, basic three-quarter rhythm will most likely cause a bit

of toe tapping or rhythmic body movement.

Enforcing Conformity to Social. Norms: As cited in the earlier

"Text" section, many values and virtues of the society are

recounted (including the values of education), and by being

set to music, they tend to become more memorable and ingrained

as well as more acceptable (according to recent research).

Validation of Social Institutions (the School); Contribution to

Continuity and Stability of Culture; and Contribution to the Inte-

gration of Society are important and all operative functions too,

by virtue of the above.

"The School Bell"

Words: Mrs. F.A. SAfford; Music: H.R. Palmer

Whittemore, E.E., and Blackman, A., Graded Singers: Book Three.* Cin-

cinnati: John Church Cr., 1973, p. 76.

Text

The four lines of each of the two verses are based on the identical

accent pattern: (rest) The rhyming scheme is a simi-

larly regular and simple AAEB. In this sense the form and the content

of the verses is very consistent and mutually reinforcing, because the

message is a simple, positive and forthright sermon on the pleasures of

the work ethic, e.g., it is good to begin on time; to please the teach-

er; the happiness of being praised; leave play 'til work is done (or

school is over); don't waste time; keep busy.

Music

The four very regular antecedent and consequent phrases of the song

are arranged it a simple, straight forward chorale style. The unim-

posing solid melody with its very typical AABA form enhances but does

not distract from the message of the words. The harmony, though in only

three parts, is in typical "Bach chorale style," and the steadily moving

quarter note rhythm is enlivened by passing eighth notes every couple of

measures, in the typical Baroque manner.

Functions

Communication: The most obviouL, function of this song is didactic.

It is meant to teach the principles of what is commonly termed

"the Protestant work ethic." The pleasant musical setting is

meant to enhance teceptivity to the message as well as to

enhance memory of it.

Enforcing Conformity to Social Norms; and Contribution to the

Integration of Society: .The work ethic was vital to survival

on the frontier; and persons will be happy and welcome in the

community if they are good contributors.

Contribution to Continuity and Stability of Culture: The song

makes clear that 411 should contribute their efforts to keep

the community vital, stable and a happy place to be.

"Try, ry Again"

George A. Veazie

McLaughlin, J.M., and Gilchrist, W.W., The New Educational Music Course.

(Teachers' Edition). Boston: Ginn & Company, 1904, pp. 98-99.

Text 411

Both the first section rhyming scheme of AABB and the second sec-

tions' AAABBB are interspersed with repetitions of the phrase "Try

again." The message is straight forward: All should heed that regard-

less of the difficulty of the task, if not successful at first, keep

trying; perserverance; it is no disgrace to fail as long as you try

again.

Music

The melody is as simple and straight forward as the message:MI

Virtually all movement is stepwise, and straight quarter notes are the

basis for the rhythmic movemedt. In fact, the end of the third line is

a simple descending scale. The harmony too is basically I, IV, V,

interspersed with an occasional diminished chord, ninth chord and secon-

dary dominant. This all serves to set the mood for and point up the

simplicity of the repeated phrase "Try Again!"

Functions lik

Communication: The didactic function is basic here. Teaching,

communicating the message that perserverence is of great value

is the primary purpose of the song.

Symbolic Representation is employed by example: "Try again" is

repeated again and again.

Enforcing Conformity to Social Norms: Trying and persevering are

the values or norms which were important on the frontier and

.._.

this song drives the message home through repetition.

23

Contributions to the Continuity and Stability of Culture and to the

Integration of Society: Willingness to try to accomplish, and

to persevere at difficult tasks was essential to stable exis-

tance in frontier societies. The song persuades toward such

stability, and stresses that all should heed--so the group may

be unified and integrated in its social behavior.

Note: This might provide some useful background in the film section oa

ethnic groups.

"Thirteen Were Saved"

or "Nebraska's Fearless Maid"

(Song of the Great Blizzard 1888)

Words and Music by Wm. Vincent

Published as Sheet Music by Lyon & Healy, Chicago, 1888

The text tells of an incident which took place in January of 1888

during a blizzard which wracked the Northwest and central region of the

United States. As reported in the Omaha Special, Miss Minnie Freeman,

the "plucky little teacher" at Mina Valley, Nebraska, saved her 13

pupils by leading them through the blizzard to a house three-quarters of

a mile away--after the door, windows and roof of the school were blown

away. She did this through the device of tying the children into a line

with a length of twine, thus keeping them from getting lost in the

blinding snow. The story is told in verse having the simple, basic AABB

rhyming scheme. The repair is sung twice between each of the three

verses, and at the cmd.

Music

The melodic format of the musical setting follows on ABAC form for

the verse and an ABCD phrase structure for the refrain (wherein C is

based simply on an ascending scale and D on the descending scale). The

harmony remains very simply I, IV, V oriented with the main point of

variety being a modulation to the relative minor (F major to D minor)

for the second part of the verse. The actual unifying factor (in light

of the lack of melolic repetition other than repeats themselves) is the

dotted eighth-sixteenth note pattern which permeates the entire piece.

This pattern is generally associated with agitation, excitement and

Page 29: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

26

lively motion. Therefore, it is particularly well suited as an accom-

paniment to the exciting tale of the "plucky maid" and her class.

Function

Communication: A primary use for this music is to tell and pre-

serve the story of the fearless maid. The song is also em-

ployed to communicate the general concept that frontier teach-

er. had to be brave and resourceful people.

Emotional Expression: The song is used to convey the excitement of

the described situation as well as the admiration for its

subjects.

Entertainment: Inasmuch as the song involves a tale of danger and

adventure, it served the function of entertaining many people,

particularly at the time of the incident.

Validation of Social Institutions: In its treatment of the fron-

tier school teacher, the song validates the work of such

persons and the school in society.

Note: This might provide some useful background music in film

sections dealing with winter and hardship on the frontier.

McLaughlin, J.M., and Gilchrist, W.W., The New Educational Music Course

(Teachers' Edition). Boston: Ginn & Company, 1904, p. 86.

Text

The text of this song is formulated in the traditional hymn for

worship style, replete with words such as "thee" "thou" and "thy." Each

of the three brief verses is very symmetrically arranged, with an AAAA

rhyming scheme. Each verse is a clarification of and elaboration on its

inital word (faith, hope, and charity). The text is a strong express-

ion of some of the most basic of Christian tenets. (Many hymns and

chorales are found in song books up to the turn of the century. Their

quantity tends to fall off after that.)

Music

The musical form is that of a simple but sturdy chorale. As such

it serves to reflect the basic tenets of the text, and the essential

lifestyle of the frontier and the people who helped America grow. The

simplicity and sturdiness is reinforced in the melody which is comprised

of four two-bar phrases, each having the same rhythmic scheme (six

quarter notes and a half note) and each concluding with a descending

cadence. Such repetition adds to the simple, straight forward and study

effect of "truth."

Functions

Communication: The song tends to illuminate the basic meanings of

faith, hope, and charity, and as such serves a didactic func-

tion. There is ample research evidence that facts and im-

pressions set to congruent music tend to be remembered more

effectively than verbal communication alone.

31

Emotional expression: While information is imparted feelings are

influenced as well ("deep darkness," "dark dangers," and "hold

us long").

Symbolic representation: symbolic phrases such as "burning

bright," "life's fleeting race," and "our anchor strong" are

effectively reinforced in the musical setting. This is espec-

ially true of the strong anchor symbol.

Validation of social institution and religious rituals: The tradi-

tional choral style of the music and the religious connota-

tions of the text serve this function admirably.

Contribution to the continuity and stability of culture: Tenets of

the common Christian ethic were basic to American culture and

the "melting pot" processing of immigrants.

Aesthetic Enjoyment: Both music and words provide a simple but

strong and somewhat feelingful formal statementone which

could be appreciated by anyone on the classical to mildly

romantic part of the aesthetic values continuum.

Note: In the film this piece could function as background for a court-

ing scene involving attendant.e of church services--in early days

the only allowable occasions for dates according to some community

rules.

"Death of Lincoln"

Words: Pauliaa, Melody: Scotch Tune

Blackman, 0., and Whittemore, E.E., Graded Singers: Book One.* Cincin-

nati: The John Church Co., approximately 1873, p. 67.

Text

The words employed in the text are of the old English type, or

might still be found in some religious verses: thou, thee, thy, weal,

woe, etc. This gives a hallowed flavor to the lyrics which honor Lin-

coln or the "nation's father, friend;" "strong in word, and deed, and

prayer," "whc didst God's chosen lead," and "hast the people freed."

The form of the text is classically symmetrical and simple. Each of the

three verses has eight balanced phrases, with a rhyming scheme of

AAABCCCB.

Music

The melody is as classically symmetrical as the text: There are

three measures of half-quarter followed by a dotted half, and this

pattern repeats twice before the fourth varies to two measures of half-

quarter and two of dotted half. The second half of the melody Is iden-

tical to the first half described above. The form, in two phrase units,

is A,B,A (transposed), B. The ultimate unifying element is the simple

half-quarter rhythm which permeates the tune. No harmony is provided,

but the tune could easily be accommodated by simple I, IV, V chords.

*For "Primary Schools and Juvenile Classes."

Functions

Emotional Expression: "We bend O'er they grave-sod;" Griefs that

darkly swell;" "the martyred dead;" etc.

Communication: The song tells the story of Lincoln's heroism and

death that all may share in its meaning.

Symbolic Representation: Word meanings aside, the structure of the

text and music, in their classical formality, symbolically

enshrine Lincoln in a classical setting not unlike that of the

Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

Enforcing Conformity to Social Norms: The song strongly promotes

the worth and importance of freedom.

Contribution to the Integration of Society: The song stresses the

fact that Lincoln freed people and "didn't God's chosen lead

thru 'a sea, ah! red indeed! Some Southern people still

resist the idea that the Union supporters were God's chosen,

and there is little doubt the song found more widespead favor

in the northern states than the Southern States. However, it

certainly functio,ld to integrate immigrants, many of whom

were escaping oppression in their homelands, into the American

value system, enculturating them with history and a hero.

"For Absent Friends"

A. Mary A.B. Dobson

Ripley, F.H., and Tapper, T. Melodic Second Reader. New York: Ameri-

can Book Co., 1906, p. 128-129.

Text

The text is patterned in a clear and simple ABABCDCD rhyming

scheme. It expressed the feeling of and probably is included here

particularly for the benefit and understanding of immigrant members of

the community. Paraphrase: As evening comes out thoughts go to loved

ones on other shores in distant lands. Though it is not totally a song

of worship and supplication to God, it is for the most part so. Para-

phrase: They pray for us so you may keep us strong and true in our new

land, as we pray for them. 0 glorious shepherd of thy sheep, watch over

us all with everlasting love until we are reunited in peac. Thus

two-thirds of the text would be totally appropriate in a church hymnal.

Such expressions, along with church hymns themselves, were common up to

the publication of this book. They gradually became less common during

the ensuing years.

Music

Formally the song is in two parts. After a four meausre intro-

duction, the first part, structured AB, is set in a minor mode. A two

measure-interlude and the second part, structured CC., are set in the

relative major key. Harmonic interest is enlived uy several secondary

dominent and diminished seventh chords, as well as an occasional pedal-

paint. Rhythmically the tune moves at a moderate quarter and eight note

pace, with the predominant unifying pattern being two quarter notes, a

dotted quarter and an eighth note. The music is essentially in chorale

style, in keeping with the severent, hymn-like atmosphere of the text.

33

Page 40: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

37

Functions

Emotional Expression: Love, longing and supplication are the

themes. Aesthetic Enjoyment: The text is poetic and the

music has some feelingful reinforcements for it--in addition

to some interesting formal and harmonic nuances.

Communication: The text communicates feelings for loved ones and

progress to God.

Conformity to social norms, and Validation of Religious Rituals are

functions which are operative inasmuchas, even when being

integrated into a new society, :t is proper to remember and

pray for your parents and friends who have been left behind- -

and the hymn-like setting of both the text and chorale help to

validate the religious aspect of such behavior.

Contribution to continuity, stability and integration of the soci-

ety are served for the same reasons. The stabilizating-

integration function is effective because the song provides an

acceptable outlet and catharsis for the loneliness and/or

longing which were shared by many in the urban immigrant as

well as the rural frontier communities.

"Fatherland"

Franz Abt.

Blackman, 0., and Whittemore, E.E. Graded Singers: Book Four.* Cin-

cinnati: John Church & Co., 1873, p. 47.

Text

The text tells of noble pride in the homeland, and also that "'Tis

from noble deeds of duty that a nation's blessing comes," so let us keep

our vows of patriotism in time when saftey fades and sorrow looms. "all

our success comes from Heaven....Let thine arm shield from harm, Lord,

our Oftherland." The atmosphere is that of a hymn of praise, resolu-

tion to duty, and supplication to God. The "thee's" and "thy's" rein-

force the religious feeling, and apparently at this time in America's

history, there was no problem in publishing and using song texts which

united feelings of God and country in a very spiritual manner. The

rhyming scheme is a well-balanced and straight forward AABCBCDD(DD).

Music

The musical setting is in a hymn-chorale style which serves to

enhance the reverent atmosphere of the text. The four part harmony is

quite basic within the chorale tradition, and replete with many moving

voices, not unlike the Bach chorale style. The melodic format is essen-

tially ABBCC, and the unifying, recurring rhythmic figure is dotted

quarter note, eighth note,- half note (or quarter note-quarter rest or

note in place of the half note).

*For "High Schools, Conventions, Choirs and All Classes and Choruses of

Male and Female Voices Combined."

Functions

Emotional Expression: Patriotism and praise for the homeland are

intermingled with pleas of supplication to God for its preserva-

tion.

Aesthetic Enjoyment: Repetitive factors in the text and setting

along with moving voices in the harmonization are probably the

most functional aesthetic aspects for most hearers.

Communi-:ation: The song communicates ideas and feelings of patriot-

ism and prayer.

Conformity to Social Norms: The soag reminds people of duties to

the fatherland, as well as the pride and joys which spring

from loya'ay to it.

Validations of Social Institutions and Religious Rituals are served

ty the formal, reverent and generally appealing text and music

of the song.

Continuity stability and integration of the society are all served

as everyone's benefits and duties are extolled.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE VALUES EXPRESSED IN AN 1873

MUSIC EDUCATION SONG TEXTBOOK

(A Country School Legacy: Humanities on the Frontier Project)

Paul A. Haack

Introduction

As the title implies, this country school_legacy special research project

was concerned with an analysis of the song text material found in Part I of

Graded Singers, Book I, for Primary Schools and Juvenile Classes, by 0. Blackman

and E.E. Whittemore (Cincinnati, C 'o: The John Church Company, 1873). The 55

songs which constitute Part I of this text were intended. for use in the first

three grades of the elementary school. Several rote learning songs constitute

Part II of the text and contain similar textual content in terms of the

values expressed. This text along with its companion volumes for the higher

grades, Books II, III and IV, may be found in the "Kansas Historical

Collection in Music Education" of the Department of Art and Music Education

and Music Therapy, Bailey Hall, The Univerisity of Kansas, Lawrence.

In the preliminary analysis it was found that the song texts under study

could generally be categorized according to six topics or "key word factors,"

each of which appeared in at least ten of the fifty-five songs. These word

factors were:

lor -- including references to the enjoyment of life and nature, and ex-

pressing positive attitudes toward the beauties of life and the

natural environment;

kindness and love--including references to kin, teachers, classmates,

animals, and nature;

nature--including'references to animals and the environment, particularly

birds, flowers, seasons and especially the spring season, brooks,

hills, fields, and woods;

religion--including references to God, prayer, thanksgiving, supplication,

and reverence;

school--including references to learning, study, and teachers;

work and diligence' -- including references to concerted efforts, persistence,

and accomplishment.

The body of the report will be comprised of a succinct analytical statement

4concerning each of the fifty-five song texts. Each statement will conclude

with the initial letters of whichever key word factors seem to apply. The

summary and conclusions section will summarize the quantitative information

concerning the key word categories and offer any general conclusions which may

appropriately be drawn from the analysis.

The Song Text Analysis

as well as their usefulness in guiding travelers. (N)

3. "Bells" tells us that Sabbath bells announce the love of God and thus are

very important. And, for the youth seeking truth, school bells are the

key. (RS)

4. "Be Gentle to the Dumb Ones" refers to animals and encourages children tobe patient and kind. Do not beat your beasts. To strike is wrong. More

is accomplished by love than fear. (KN)

environment. (NR)

31. "See the Blessed Rain" compares rain to diamonds. Rain is the richestgift of heaven for the green fields and the smoky towns.

fields of grain, fruit and trees are mentioned and in the winter verse,ice, snow, cold and sledding are mentioned. We love all the seasons--all

nature. (JN)

Summary and Conclusions

The key word factors hypothesized for use in the forgoing analysis seem

highly appropriate for describing the essential qubject matter of the song

texts. From the quantitative standpoint it\is judged that the joy factor,

which included references to the enjoyment of life and nature as well as

indications of positive attitudes towards the beauties of life in the natural

environment, was present in at least twelve of the fifty-five songs analyzed.

The kindness and love factor, which included reference to kin, teachers,

classmates, animals, and nature in general, was evident in at least sixteen of

the songs. The nature factor, which included references to animals and the

natural environment (birds, flowers, seasons, brooks, hills, fields, woods and

clouds), was evident in at least thirty-two songs. The religion factor,

including references to God, prayer, thanksgiving, petition, and reverence,

was evident in at least nineteen of the songs. The school factor, including

references to learning, study, and teachers, was evident in at least fourteen

of the songs. And finally, the work and diligence factor, which included

Page 54: Country School Legacy: Music on the Frontier. Country ...Fountain Plains Library Association, Silt, Colo. ... enculturateto the "American way of life," a symbol of validation, and

references to cor^cientious effort, persistence, and accomplishment, was

evident in at leas, _n of the songs. While each of the factors was suffi-

ciently represented to be determined a major factor, the nature factor gained

significant prominencJ with its thirty-two references. All of the others

ranged between ten and twenty and were obviously of major importance as

concerns the attitudes, ethics, morals, and values of late 19th century

America, at least as these were expressed in the primary song text literature

which was analyzed in this study.

In conclusion, and based on the analysis undertaken, it seems safe to say

that scngs were quite consistently employed for didactic purposes, that is,

for purnoss of inculcating and enculturating students with the dominant

attitudes, ethics, morals and values of the time. Furthermore, these values

seem to cen,er on at least six factors which in this study have been defined

in terms of joy or enjoyment, kindness and love, nature, religion, school, and

work and di' .gence. Given ±11-2 conclusions it may be fair to speculate that

song materials such as those analyzed in this study seem to be the musical

equivalents of the famed McGuffey readers, particularly when one considers the

contents of the song texts. Finally, it may be noted that the song melodies

themselves i. .t generally of a simple, pleasant and forthright style, consist-

ing of simple rhythms and essentially scale-wise or bavic chord-wise move-

m_nts. Thus the musical (jollities are not only appropriate to the,age level

and teaching objectiv for which the text is intended, but they also rein-

force and enhance the simple, basic values expressed in the texts of the

songs.

Aorld, hoping it luny do its pout toe:tell sssnkissg music a pensument study in

mot schools, tool thee elevate the standard of music in our country, noel

make us, as a people, musical.Its most obvious feature is, (lint it follows No. 3. Work of a more

liflicoslt character has been intstnIsseed; discussions of subjects a little souse

domough, and the nil '.e, of cootie, of a sumo enjoyable tontine

1 mokisog at the ok a little more carefully, we find these features :

T'se soak of L'A we SIMI I/40 loss been elaborated. TWO pas ts having been

The AITI:NDI X is a novel feature fora soissic book. Ito this will be roomd

some iliStlISCLIOUS for teachers.

It is ple:tsnost to observe the public suite! iu its sing fsmn rho old

I. DosTlucrooas IN Tones, An examination of various tones (muslcs1

:muds) will had OS to observe the three following differences :

1st. lAossg or short.II. High or Ism.3d. Solt or lots:1.

II. PIM PERTS 1.3 or Tusk:3.-11e three preceding distinctions lead us to

recognise three esorsespossolissg properties of tosses:

1st. lietsgt1s,2s1. Pitch.11. Power.

1.1;.. DEPARTMENTS. 09 account of these three properties, which we

necessarily consider in the study of music, it becomes convenient to divide

the subject into also following nutsssessts:

1st: Itsivvonscsthat which treats of length.2d. Moi.oloscatIsnt which trestle of pitch.

IntsAmIcsthat whirl' Denis of power.

RHYTHM /C S.

1. LENUTII of 1114 Aic, Ilse absolute length of tones is not

considered. We do not measure the length of sounds, spakiog ono n militate

long, another a Ions tls of a minute, etc. The only length we consider, is s

relative one. Oise toms is as longns the time we are ;staking osse motion

of the hand, another is as long evils, etc.i. NOTE. .MOW relative lenglIsa of tome are sopresented by notes.

The name of the notes arc :

r rWs*. W1.01. Hwy. MN NO.. goorter U.S.. lag6111 NA*.

Others derived front the above:

1°'0 etc.

stslonth

0._ . etc,

. Whole Nolo. 0.110 Mat NO..

The slot having (meial( as snitch length its the note before It,Tito large Isos.tn ice the length of the %thole note. The whole sots has

twice the leuglls os' the half note, etc.
