Synopsis Negro Folk Rhymes by : Thomas W. Talley
A collection of African American songs and rhymes, some of which in their original African language followed by translations, all of which concluded with an essay not only describing the content and the manner in which the songs and rhymes were told, sung and danced to, but also the effect they had on the minds of African Americans living through the days of slavery and following until 1922.

Synopsis Negro Folk Rhymes by : Thomas Washington Talley
Of the making of books by individual authors there is no end; but a cultivated literary taste among the exceptional few has rendered almost impossible the production of genuine folk-songs. The spectacle, therefore, of a homogeneous throng of partly civilized people dancing to the music of crude instruments and evolving out of dance-rhythm a lyrical or narrative utterance in poetic form is sufficiently rare in the nineteenth century to challenge immediate attention. In Negro Folk Rhymes is to be found no inconsiderable part of the musical and poetic life-records of a people; the compiler presents an arresting volume which, in addition to being a pioneer and practically unique in its field, is as nearly exhaustive as a sympathetic understanding of the Negro mind, careful research, and labor of love can make it. Professor Talley of Fisk University has spared himself no pains in collecting and piecing together every attainable scrap and fragment of secular rhyme which might help in adequately interpreting the inner life of his own people.

Synopsis Thomas W. Talley's Negro Folk Rhymes by : Thomas Washington Talley
In 1922, Talley, a black chemistry professor at Fisk U. in Nashville, published the first collection of American black folksongs. The initial international acclaim for the book faded as attention turned to blues and spirituals. The new edition includes material from Talley's unpublished papers. Many of the over 300 songs are accompanied by musical scores. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
