Subject: RE: DT Study: Rise and Shine (Give God Your Glory) From: GUEST,Guest Date: 02 Jun 19 - 04:14 PM My great grandmother remembered the preacher singing the Noah's arky song and dancing across the stage when she was about 8...so that would have been 1902 or so. So they've been around awhile anyway. |

Subject: RE: DT Study: Rise and Shine (Give God Your Glory) From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jan 17 - 05:54 PM I'm wondering how far back we can trace the "arky-arky" verses, and whether or not we concur with the attribution to Peter Anders Svensson & Magnus Sveningsson. Now, I found a musician named Anders Peter Svensson - born in 1974, so that's not the guy. My sister brought the song home from Girl Scout Camp in about 1968 or something, and it was well-known by kids in the 1960s. I suppose it's quite possible the song came off a children's record at the time. Any print sources earlier than the 1973 Folksinger's Wordbook? Oh, I like this: dbopm :: the database of popular music shows 3 songs published in Sweden in 1995:
I made the change in Wikipedia. Hope they accept it. Here's a link to "Rise and Shine," by Svensson's group, the Cardigans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sp1A20VCok -Joe- |

Subject: ADD: Rise and Shine (Spiritual) From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jan 17 - 02:59 AM The Traditional Ballad Index makes reference to Dett - that's Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro as Sung at Hampton Institute, by R. Nathaniel Dett. The book is available at archive.org Here's my transcription of "Rise and Shine" from Dett, 1909 edition: RISE AND SHINE CHORUS Oh, rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory Rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory Rise and shine, an' give God de glory, glory For de year of Juberlee. Jesus carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom Carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom Carry de young lambs in his bosom, bosom For de year ob Juberlee Jesus lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters Lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters Lead de ole sheep by still waters, waters For de year ob Juberlee CHORUS Oh, come on, mourners, get you ready, ready Come on, mourners, get you ready, ready Come on, mourners, get you ready, ready For de year ob Juberlee You may keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, burning For de year ob Juberlee CHORUS Oh, come on, children, don't be weary, weary Come on, children, don't be weary, weary Come on, children, don't be weary, weary For de year ob Juberlee Oh, don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin' Don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin' Don't you hear them bells a-ringin', ringin' For de year ob Juberlee CHORUS Similar melody, too. So, it has traditional roots, but must we pay royalties for the arky, arky? Well, if it's Universal, at least it's easy to license. I learned the song in the early 1960s. |

Subject: RE: DT Study: Rise and Shine (Give God Your Glory) From: GUEST Date: 08 Jan 17 - 02:59 AM I learned it in Hebrew school. Been thinking of recording it. I'm not surprised if it's commercial, it does have a sort of slick feel to me. |

Subject: RE: DT Study: Rise and Shine (Give God Your Glory) From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jan 17 - 02:38 AM Now, the reason why I started this thread is because Wikipedia says
Could it be that this song I've known all my life and assumed to be a traditional camp song, is actually a commercial production? |
