Old American Songs are two sets of songs arranged by Aaron Copland in 1950 and 1952 respectively, after research in the Sheet Music Collection of the Harris Collection of American Poetry and Plays, in the John Hay Library at Brown University.[1] Originally scored for voice and piano, they were reworked for baritone (or mezzo-soprano) and orchestra.

I can barely understand the lyrics of songs in American English, even though I don't have any difficulties understanding regular spoken American English or any songs by British artists (I haven't listened to many songs by speakers of English dialects that aren't parts of the British and the American dialectal spectrums, so I can't definitively say whether I have any issues understanding them or not).

Copland's orchestrations of his two sets of American folk song arrangements were both premiered by William Warfield, who said, "If I had to make a choice, it would probably be toward the orchestra versions, especially for I Bought Me a Cat, where you have all these wonderful barnyard sounds in the orchestration." Copland took such pleasure in the popularity of the folksongs that he also approved various arrangements for chorus and orchestra.AuthorVivian PerlisYear1998A new edition of this work, edited by Philip Rothman, is now available from Boosey and Hawkes.

Baritone William Warfield sang the premiere performance of Copland's folk song arrangements at Town Hall in 1951. He said, "The songs were a tremendous success. Aaron was an excellent pianist and, of course, knowing the flavor of them so well, it was a tremendous experience working with him."

The Boatmen's Dance, a minstrel show tune by Daniel Decatur Emmett, composer of "Dixie," is a lively tune with imitation banjo playing in the accompaniment. The Dodger is a satirical political song found by Copland in a collection by John and Alan Lomax. It dates from the political campaign of 1884 when Grover Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine. Long Time Ago is a setting of a lyrical nostalgic ballad discovered by the composer in the Harris Collection at Brown University. Simple Gifts is the Shaker song used in Appalachian Spring arranged in a straightforward style closer to the

original folk version. I Bought Me a Cat, a children's nonsense song, repeats a refrain adding a farm animal as it proceeds. The harmony and accompaniment simulate barnyard sounds.

Great American stories of hardship, struggle, family, and life in the mountains are woven into folk songs passed through generations. Some songwriters with strong Appalachian roots are still gathering the stories of their elders and crafting them into songs that tell about life in a different time. Catskill Mountain folk-rock singer-songwriter, Theodore Leland Finkle collaborated with his cousin Jody Nebesnik and her family friend, Dr. Heidi Moore, on the lyrics of this song. His wife, Pamela West, wrote the haunting, old-timey melody. The story is one of many their great-aunt Helen told of growing up on Beach Hill in Andes, New York, during the time of the depression. The chestnut tree in this song is an iconic symbol of a way of life that, much like the chestnut tree, has widely died out in American culture, yet the roots remain in the words of Helen's story.

Meanwhile, for my father (born in 1920), who was the son of Polish immigrants and who grew up on the Lower East Side of New York, the Golden Age songs served as a means of assimilation. Offering sentiments he could identify with and images he recognized, these songs (just like his favorite novelists, Sinclair Lewis, Booth Tarkington, and John O'Hara) helped introduce him to the America beyond his household and his immigrant neighborhood. Part of what made these songs seem familiar to him, even as they helped bring him more closely into the American family, was that many of the people who'd written the songs had, in fact, grown up in the same streets in which he'd grown up and were, like him, the children of immigrants.

NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Dr. Juan Carlos Urea, Stephen F. Austin State University assistant professor of modern languages, will give a lecture/demonstration on poetry and music in Central America at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, in the Music Recital Hall on the SFA campus.

The presentation is part of the SFA School of Music's monthly Robert G. Sidnell Lecture Series in Music Education. The lecture's title, "Trovar: Memoria Potica de la Concin Hispanoamericana," is the same as Urea's book from which the lecture material is drawn.

Urea, who is also an acclaimed composer and musician, will begin his presentation with an overview of the whole book-an analysis of traditional, folk, protest and popular songs from Spain and Latin America, from medieval times to the 21st century.

The majority of the lecture will concentrate on the impact song has had on historical transformations in Central America since the 1970s. Urea will perform samples of the music during his presentation.

Urea earned his doctoral degree in Hispanic studies from Texas A&M University, his master's in music education from SFA and his bachelor's degree in music education from the Universidad de Costa Rica in San Jos, Costa Rica.

A member of the SFA faculty since 2004, Urea taught Costa Rican university students for three years. He also has 16 years of experience teaching music and Spanish to public school students in Costa Rica and Texas.

He has numerous written publications and musical recordings to his credit and was nominated for two Latin American Music Awards by the Academy of Country Music in 2000.

The lecture is free and open to the public. The Music Recital Hall is located in Room 160 of the Tom and Peggy Wright Music Building, 2210 Alumni Drive.
