1855List3682Philadelphia: Edward L. Walker 142 Chestnut St. above 6th 1855. Folio sheet music pictorial lithographed cover approximately 13.5 × 10.5 inches. Light edge wear and minor toning; very good with a strong impression of the cover illustration. An antebellum piano dance reflecting the plantation imagery that circulated widely in mid-nineteenth-century American popular music. “Cuba Plantation Dance†was composed by Chas. H. Wilson a little-documented composer whose name appears chiefly in connection with this work and issued in Philadelphia during the early 1850s by Edward L. Walker the predecessor firm to the major publishing house Lee & Walker. A copy is recorded in the Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins which dates the publication to 1855.<br /> <br /> The cover presents a stylized plantation landscape framed by tall stalks of sugar cane with a small central vignette of a dancing Black figure. The use of Cuban plantation imagery reflects contemporary American fascination with the Caribbean sugar economy and with plantation life beyond the United States. During the 1850s Cuba was one of the largest slave societies in the Atlantic world. By the midcentury the island’s sugar plantations relied on hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans and the enslaved population of Cuba was estimated at roughly 400000 people in the 1840s–1850s working primarily in the rapidly expanding sugar industry. Although Spain formally agreed to end the Atlantic slave trade in 1820 illegal importations of enslaved Africans into Cuba continued for decades supplying labor for the island’s plantations well into the 1850s. American publishers frequently borrowed such imagery for plantation-themed dance music marketed to the parlor trade. Pieces labeled “plantation dances†or “Ethiopian dances†formed part of the broader culture of minstrel and plantation entertainment. The title page bears a dedication to “Miss Arabelle Conrad†typical of mid-century sheet music addressed to amateur pianists. Along with the aforementioned copy in the Levy collection we find copies at Michigan and Temple. Edward L. Walker, 142 Chestnut St., above 6th unknown

Light uniform browning; occasional minor foxing and small stains; signatures loose. Third edition. OCLC 20912723. <br /> <br /> A compilation of traditional Swiss folk songs and occasional instrumental selections including music for the Alphorn and solo piano compositions many arranged by Ferdinand Fürchtegott Huber. <br /> <br /> The alphorn was a "wooden trumpet of pastoral communities in the Alps. . The commonest length of the alphorn is about 185 cm in which case its range extends to the 5th or 6th harmonic as quoted by Beethoven at the end of the Pastoral Symphony. . Alphorns were known best as herdsmen's calling instruments serving also in some areas to summon to church and formerly to war. They may also be numinous: among the Mari of Russia the long wooden trumpet is made for the spring festival and afterwards sacrificially burnt or hidden in a sacred place. Overall likeness in making and using alphorns and their distribution suggest that they possibly may have originated among post-Celtic peoples of the Migration Era. There is no firm evidence of prior existence; 'cornu alpinus' in Tacitus is less than proof of a wooden trumpet of which the earliest specimen from the 9th-century Oseberg ship Oslo Vikingskiphuset supports iconographic suggestions that wooden trumpets of moderate size were used as summoning and military instruments in early medieval northern Europe in addition to their pastoral functions." Anthony C. Baines revised by Max Peter Baumann in Grove Music Online. Rossini evoked the Alphorn in his iconic 1829 William Tell Overture. <br /> <br /> Of great importance to the preservation of the oral heritage of Swiss alpine herders. J. J. Burgdorfer unknown
1865000014958Paris: Librairie Internationale A. Lacroix Verboeckhoven & Co 1865. Later edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Small 8vo. 5 iv-x 6 17-293 5 pp. Half contemporary red artificially grained sheep over marbled paper boards spine in six compartments with gold lettering on the spine. Marbled endpapers and pastedowns. This edition not in Graesse. The Song of Roland portrays a French knight who fought for Charlemagne at the end of the eighth century. The poem is said to be the oldest surviving complete work of French literature. The epic poem is followed by "Chronique de Turpin" the Carolingnian work on Charlemagne's campaigns in early-medieval Spain. The Turpin Chronicle is based on military legends of early-medieval France but it is not in fact historical. Its composition is said to have taken place at the end of the eleventh century into the beginning of the twelfth century. Translated from the Anglo-Norman into modern French by Alex. De Saint-Albin; the Turpin Chronicle was originally written in Latin but is published here in French. A lovely edition of the epic poem integral to the French literary and historical canons. A bookplate from 1875 on the front pastedown the faint odor of tobacco to the leaves. Librairie Internationale A. Lacroix, Verboeckhoven & Co hardcover
