Sinossi
Excerpt from Daniel Decatur Emmet
If a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation - andrew fletcher.
NO names are deathless save those of the world's singers. Frances E. Willard.
If this ascription of power and immortality seems somewhat sweeping and a little too poetically generous, the fact remains that music, affecting as it does the emotional in man and touch ing all its keys, exerts a distinct influence on individual and national destiny; and the simple songs that find their way to the universal heart shall survive long after the singer has departed and his very name, to the millions who have felt the spell of his genius, has ceased to be even a memory. The popular melody is one of the avenues through which the human soul finds ex pression. If it has its charm to soothe the savage breast, it has likewise its stimulus to action. With paeans on their lips men have crowded the road to death as to a festival. In our annals the song writers deserve a place. From lullaby to bat tle hymn they help to mould character and build the state.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the life of Daniel Decatur Emmett, the author of âDixie,â one of the most recognizable melodies in American history. The book traces Emmett's unlikely path to fame, from his humble beginnings as a printer's apprentice to his role as a minstrel performer and, finally, to his recognition as the musical genius behind the iconic song. The author delves into the historical context of the song's creation, exploring the social and political landscape of the antebellum South and its influence on Emmett's composition. The book also examines the complex legacy of âDixie,â a song that has simultaneously served as a symbol of both national unity and division. By shedding light on the life and work of Emmett, this book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring power of music and its ability to shape cultural and historical narratives.
