The Hampton Series Books 1-4
This collection of Negro folk songs represents a faithful effort to place on
paper a precise record of old plantation songs. The songs are compiled by
Natalie Curtis-Burlin, whose notation presents a vivid transcription of
actual performance. Included are precise scores of 19 spirituals, work-songs
and play-songs in four sections, each notated for male quartet with a piano
reduction. In addition, all four sections feature thorough engaging
introductions that discuss the social context of the times, the people and
their music.
