That article- and I'd love to read it- was mentioned in at least one earlier discussion on Mudcat, quoted here: *** Subject: RE: Stephen Foster - How original was he? From: Jim McLean - PM Date: 09 Aug 11 - 07:18 AM
There is an article by George Pullen Jackson in The Musical Quarterly, Vol. XXII, 1936, called Stephen Foster's debt to American Folk-song. There are many examples of derivations for his most famous songs.Just a couple of examples,'Linda Has Departed', 1859, uses the Tannahill suggested tune for 'The Braes o' Balquhidder', The Three Carles o' Buchannan, 'Willie, We Have Missed You' 1854, uses the melody of 'Jock of Hazeldene'. ****************
Jim McLean- Do you know if an available online source for this article?
