The American Guitar Collection
In
19th Century America, guitarists, composers and publishers were all very busy
producing guitar sheet music of all kinds. From classical
compositions, to jigs, reels, songs, arrangements
and even transcriptions from operas for solo
guitar. We are now making much of this often forgotten
American sheet music for guitar
available again.
The music of two interesting guitarists in the collections: 1. Vahdah Olcott-Bickford (October 17, 1885 – May 18, 1980) was an American astrologer and guitarist, composer, arranger and teacher, sometimes known as "the Grand Lady of the Guitar".
2. Justin Holland an African American who was one of the first
American classical guitarists, and he was a teacher
and a composer.
Included also are two unique collections of what may be the earliest arrangements for guitar of Sousa marches, and Stephen Fosters own arrangements of his classic songs for guitar accompaniment.
This page also has large collections of old sheet music and instruction books for banjo, mandolin and ukulele.

Geronimo's
Medicine Song
 In
the words of Geronimo:
"The song that
I will sing is an old song, so old that
none knows who made it. It has been handed
down through generations and was taught to
me when I was but a little lad. It is now
my own song. It belongs to me. This is a
holy song (medicine-song), and great is
its power. The song tells how, as I sing,
I go through the air to a holy place where
Yusun (The Supreme Being) will give me
power to do wonderful things. I am
surrounded by little clouds, and as I go
through the air I change, becoming spirit
only."

 Ned Straight was a very versatile
and widely traveled and experienced Irish-American songwriter and all
around musician in mid to late 19th Century America. He was an early writer of what later would come to be known as "protest" songs.
We have not been able, after much searching, to find many details about Ned Straight, but we can say that his songs were often quite popular, and, that one can certainly call him the forerunner of what became later the "singer-songwriter" protest songs.

The Music of an American Music Maverick
Anthony Philip Heinrich
 Anthony Philip Heinrich (1781 - 1861) came very close to being totally lost in the well populated (and sometimes deserved) waste bin of American music history. But then!... in 1917, over 1000 pages of writings and close to 350 compositions) made it to the Library of Congress. And low and behold... this almost totally forgotten composer was rediscovered and found to be one of the more original composers in American history.

 This unique five verse song that we have arranged was created from "Quabi, an Indian tale, in four cantos, by Philenia, a lady of Boston".

George Washington's
Favorite Song?
"The Derby Ram" song has been known since at least the beginning of the eighteenth century. The ram has even been incorporated into thecoat-of-arms of Derby, England. 
The song and the association of a ram with the town of Derby as a ballad made it's public bow in child lore in The Only True Mother Goose Melodies, c1843, and has been repeated in nursery books many times since then.
This ballad about one of the most elaborate lies ever told is said to have been the favorite song of "he who never lied", George Washington.
We have prepared an arrangement of this song, and arrangements of 7 traditional pieces of music related to George Washington.

 The early American Shakers practiced a celibate and communal lifestyle and pacifism. They are also known for their simple living, architecture, technological innovation, and furniture, art and music.
They also composed thousands of songs, and also created many dances; both were an important part of the Shaker worship services. In Shaker society, a spiritual "gift" or "vision" could also be a musical revelation or a musical dream, and they considered it important to notate such musical inspirations as they occurred.

The first American musical?
 The Black Crook was a large scale "musical" first produced, with great success, in New York in 1866. Many music historians consider The Black Crook to be the first American musical.
The original production opened on September 12, 1866 at the 3,200-seat Niblo's Garden. It was an amazing five-and-a-half hours long, but despite its length, it ran for a record-breaking 474 performances, and revenues exceeded a record-breaking one million dollars.
Go to The Black Crook page and learn more about this musical, read what none other than Mark Twain had to say about it, and download some of the sheet music related to The Black Crook.

fascinating story in and of itself, and, is an

Music composed by
Nobody
 In 19th Century America, a fact
that is not widely known is that thousands of
pieces of sheet music were published. Music on
every conceivable subject from the hippopotamus
to free-love was published.
Strangely enough, one of the very popular things
to do was to publish sheet music using fake,
often comic names.
We have gathered together a few of these pieces
of music and created a PDF book out of them.

Political Songs
in 19th Century America
Politics in America has always
been lively since day one. In the 19th Century,
when printing was growing in America it involved
a lot of singing, a lot of song writing and
sheet music. It also involved some great satire,
humor and classic protest songs.
We have collected a few of these pieces of
political music.
Political Songs
|
This is a lovely song by Colonial American composer Timothy Swan, expressing the emotion of individuals who are about to leave their loved ones and home, for military duty.
One can see how this rather profound song about a soldier leaving to fight in a war could now relate to all the brave medical heroes and first responders fighting our current "war" against the coronavirus.
The poem Timothy Swan used for this piece of music may have been written by him, but is often attributed to that famous historical individual known as "anonymous".
We have prepared a basic PDF arrangment of this piece of music, using Swan's music and poem, adding guitar chords, a piano (or harp) accompaniment and a bass line. You can uses this basic arrangement to create your own arrangements of this lovely song.

Santa Claus
A Christmas Cantata
Published in 1879, "Santa Claus - A Christmas Cantata", by W. Howard Doane, is a 48 page publication. The Cantata was composed and published with the idea that people of many ages, without intensive music skills, including schools, Sunday Schools and choirs, can perform the piece as a group. The composition was created for simple solo and multi-part choral singing with a piano accompaniment, and also contains non-musical recitations. The cantata can be performed with or without costumes. The theory was to create a lovely but simple cantata that musical and singing people of all ages and skills can perform and enjoy.

Brief biography of the Author:
" A few years back I thought I was past my “best before” date and I needed the spiritual support my grandfather had always given me. My memories of him and his tales form the basis of these stories. Montreal (and Weir in the summers) was my home for about two decades. The stories ended when my grandfather died on August 3, 1960. I was twelve.
Over the years I was able to record two vinyl LPs and two CDs (all my own work) and one LP with other musicians and writers. I earned a bachelor’s degree in education (secondary) and taught for twenty-two years, became an emergency medical responder for six years, a volunteer firefighter for fifteen, and a town councilor for two year"
 The music career of TB Murdoch, known to the music world as "Bruce Murdoch" included recording for Elektra Records and performing at many forums and coffee houses during the heyday of the folk revival and the singer/songwriter movement in Greenwich Village during the 1960s that produced Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary, Eric Andersen, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs and many more. He  also performed at the Newport Folk Festival, in Carnegie Hall and recorded an album produced by Richie Havens for his label and an album produced by Radio Canada.
He has recently recorded 2 new collections of his latest songs.

Music from the Ephrata Cloister
 The Ephrata Cloister or Ephrata Community was a mystical, communal religious community made up of both men and women members. It was established in 1732 by Johann Conrad Beissel at Ephrata, in what is now Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Beissel taught music at the Cloister and wrote hundreds of songs and choral works. The music of the Ephrata choir has been described as “sacred” and “alchemical.” Many of the other members of the cloister also devoted themselves to poetry and music and art. Their choir became widely known in early America for their ethereal and unique music, created in a musical notation system created by Beisell. We have created arrangements using melodies from Ephrata....

William Sidney Mount
Artist and Musician
 William
Sidney Mount (1807-1868), was a
man of many talents. As well as being a fine
artist, he was also a musician, composer and
collector of the folk music of early America.
And if that is not enough to impress......, he
also invented a type of steamboat paddle wheel,
a unique two-hulled sailboat, a traveling
painting studio on wheels and a hollow back
violin, named the "Cradle of Harmony".

"What you have told us is all
very good. It is indeed bad to eat apples. It is
better to make them all into cider."
- Benjamin Franklin

America, reporting a Native American's response to the story of Adam
& Eve.)
