1883208551883. Very good overall. An interesting hand painted and roneoed ship's musical program. Produced for an Australian ship voyage 29th November 1883 with the proceeds of the performance "devoted to the relief of the suffering of a destitute and invalided steerage passenger". <br /> <br /> The evenings proceedings are roneographed inside the fold. It lists 15 performances including arrangements for violin and piano; a "letter song: Rip Van Winkle"; other songs a recitation; "Italian boat song"; and a vocal duet. The performers include Mr. & Mrs. Rignold and Signor Steffani. Mr. & Mrs. G. Rignold are recorded as having traveled from Adelaide to Sydney on 29th January 1883 on the ship "Birksgate" and in October 1886 they traveled on the ship "Hanroto" from Hobart to Melbourne with Mr. & Mrs. Lohr all of them described as "Theatrical". Signor Steffani is listed in the Sand's Sydney Directory for 1883 at 129 Phillips St. and in 1895 as a "teacher of singing" at 56 Elizabeth St. ancestry dot com. In fact the performances by "professionals" were most likely money making efforts for the performers who traveled repeatedly between various ports in Australia. One wonders if the money collected actually went to relieve the suffering of "a destitute and invalided steerage passenger" unless that is Mr. Rignold or Mr. Steffani. <br /> <br /> The R. M. S. John Elder made voyages between London and Australia see article in the Sydney Morning Herald referring to arrival from London on 15 July 1885 just 6 months after this voyage on the NLA website. It seems possible that this voyage was only in Australian waters as the Rignold's were already in Australia in January 1883. <br /> <br /> The cover of the program is hand painted with a background design of gingko leaves daffodils and a dragon fly with a tropical island view superimposed. On blue coated paper folded with the number 1 penciled at lower left of the front. In some spots the text of the reproduction is faded and it has been re-written by hand in purple ink. Short closed tear bottom edge. Folded folio 8 3/4 x 13 1/2". The paper is speckled with white dots akin to some unusual sort of bleaching perhaps related to the paper making process as it skirts the cover illustration. <br /> <br /> An unusual survival. unknown

1922204651922. African American Sheet Music. "Water Boy: A Negro Convict Song". Arranged by Avery Robinson. Boston Mass: The Boston Music Co. 1922. As Sung by Mr. Roland Hayes an American lyric tenor and composer. 7 pages. Measures 9" x 12". "Waterboy" a.k.a. "The Water Boy" is an American traditional folk song. It is built on the call "Water boy where are you hidin'" The call is one of several water boy calls in cotton plantation folk tradition. Numerous artists have written and/or recorded their own versions of this African-American traditional song including Avery Robinson who wrote this edition and who popularized "Water Boy" as a jazz song in the 1920s. The opening call to the "water boy" has been said to bear a resemblance to melodies found in classical works by Cui Tchaikovsky and Liszt as well as a Jewish marriage song and a Native American tune. The first melody of the subsequent refrain is similar to the old German tune "Mendebras" used for the hymn "Oh Day of Rest and Gladness." Mad epopular by African American songwriter singer and composer Roland Hayes. Hayes taught at Black Mountain College for the 1945 Summer institute where his public concert was according to Martin Duberman "one of the great moments in Black Mountain's history" and after this concert in which unsegregated seating went well the school had its first full-time black student and full-time member of the faculty. Staple bound and in very good condition. Pencil signature of a noted film scholar "Thomas Curtiss" is in the upper front corner. Overall in very good condition. unknown

Work done by this system is always cleaned off the stones as soon as finished so that the entire number of copies is likely to be required are always ordered at once.

If your copy is correct you need have no fear.' Discusses details of legal deposit and asks to be informed on some matters relating to the song. 'What will you do . You may depend on the work being thoroughly well done.' ITEM SEVEN two pages: Wood to Robinson 30 October 1873. 'I always enquire whether copies sent me are correct because proofs not being given it is not at all likely I can take responsibility of mistakes in copies sent me.

But as you seem rather fearful of the result I have taken the trouble to copy the whole out and send it herewith for your approval. NOT PRESENT Please see if it is correct & the music arranged as you desire to the two verses and if you return it at once I shall at once proceed. You will thus see that I have done all that can be expected to insure correctness & if I can turn out 70 pages of Band music with only the omission of one crescendo - and no mistakes surely 2 pages may be done properly.'

'Respecting terms of course it ought to be One Guinea ask about it and try hard for it but if any demur is made do not object as something was mentioned to me a short time since about obliging a friend for such a ceremony but I gave no decided answer; of course I being away alters the case . but take what is offered and I will arrange with you afterwards'.
