Gibb Sahib Minstrel songs and chanties (44) RE: Minstrel songs and chanties 27 Jan 21

Steve,

It's going to be mostly group action songs, which Courlander doesn't focus on in particular. Moreover, I believe song styles developed between early 19th-early 20th c. So you see more in certain older historical samples (of which we have primary sources elsewhere).

There is some in the Work chapter ("High-o" (Parrish) p 116, "Jenny Gone Away"(Kemble) p118, "Molly Was a Good Gal" p119, "Shiloh" p120) and the Ring Games chapter ("Amasee," "Rosie Darling Rosie")

It's cool that he makes a transcription of "Rosie" (Alan Lomax recording), though his notation is displaced by a beat and that is in the "hammering song" genre.
