1919List3638New York City: M. Witmark & Sons 1919. Sheet music measuring 9 ¼ x 12 ¼ inches. Small ownership stamp to top margin some light wear overall very good. James Reese Europe 1881–1919 was a composer and bandleader instrumental in the transition from ragtime to jazz whose popularity and influence is impossible to overstate. He conducted the Clef Club Orchestra in New York City which only played music by African-American composers and was the first Black orchestra to perform at Carnegie Hall. Europe’s Society Orchestra toured the country with dancers Vernon and Irene Castle popularizing ragtime dancing. In 1916 Europe enlisted with the 369th Infantry Regiment also known as the Harlem Hellfighters a primarily Black regiment that became one of the most highly decorated American units in World War I. Europe was a second lieutenant and led the Hellfighters Band which toured France in 1818 and is credited with bringing jazz to the continent of Europe. James Europe died in Boston in 1919 when a member of his band taking issue with Europe’s criticism stabbed him in the neck during the intermission of a concert at Mechanics Hall.<br /> <br /> Offered here is the sheet music for “Good Night Angeline†composed by James Reese Europe and his frequent collaborators Noble Sissle 1889–1975 and James Herbert “Eubie†Blake†1887–1983. The cover features a photograph of the Hellfighters Band above a portrait of Europe. We find four other copies of “Good Night Angeline†at the Oakland Public Library the Library Company of Philadelphia the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture. Of interest to scholars of African-American musical and military history. M. Witmark & Sons unknown

Handy donated 100 copies of “We Are Americans Too†to Martin Luther King Jr. to raise money for the Montgomery Improvement Association.1<br /> <br /> Razaf’s lyrics for the song proclaim African Americans’ patriotism and roles in the US’s major wars from the American Revolution to World War I; the cover art shows Black soldiers marching together in Revolutionary War Civil War and WWI-era uniforms. At the time of writing the US was deep in the Jim Crow era; African Americans during World War II served in segregated units were mostly excluded from officership and were treated poorly at home and abroad. Razaf writes: “None have loved Old Glory more than we. / Or have shown a greater loyalty / Bunker Hill to the Rhine / We’ve been right there in line / Serving the Red White and Blue / All our future is here / Everything we hold dear / WE ARE AMERICANS TOO.â€<br /> <br /> We find four copies on OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Martin Luther King Jr. to Lovie M.
