Folk Blues Proves 'Musi' Book For Music Lovers Folk Blues by Jerry Silverman: The Macmillan Company, 297 pages; $6.95. Men have been singing since the beginning of time. History, as such, was preserved during the Dark Ages by wander ing minstrels who kept alive the rolk tales handed down from pre ceding generations. Men developed musical instru ments to accompany their songs. But the sound of their own voices brought an emotional satisfaction that has changed little down the ages. Perhaps the cowboy, crooning a mournful melody on the range sings as much to soothe his own fears of the big night as to quiet the dogies in his charge. At practically any convention gathering in Oregon, someone will lead off with "Oh, give me a home . . ." and the crowd will join in "Where the buffalo roam. . . ." What the group is actually doing is rendering a cap- pella a Western folks blues. The cowboy songs grew in popularity side by side with the Negro blues and may both be said to be repre sentative of American folk songs. The first blues were sung unac companied, according to Jerry Sil verman, whose detailed research has resulted in Folk Blues, re leased the last week in Novem ber by The Macmillan Company. The blues are an expression plains, "or rather, individual re actions, to a way of fife." The blues arc one of the great coniriouuons made Dy ihe Negro people to American culture, and have become a significant contri bution of American music to the world. The blues as we know them came into being as a separate musical form from 1885 through the ensuing years to 1930. During the period, people of a generally lower economic status in urban as well as rural communities were dependent upon themselves for whatever music they cared to bring into their lives. The musicological and sociologi cal factors which made a cowboy song differ from a Negro blues are less important than the fact that they both sprang from the inherent urge to sing. Silverman sets forth the Negro blues in definitive form as a liv ing, breathing, singing art. In his introductions are' biographical sketches of early exponents of the blues, including Blind Lemon Jef ferson, Huddie Ledbetter (Lead belly), Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie and Josh White. For the devotees of the art, he has a tech nical explanation of the harmonic pattern of ihe blues. For those with no "ear for music," he ex plains more simply the character istically altered tones which have come to be known as blue notes.

The 110 American Folic Blues in the book are ar ranged for voice, piano and guitar. The magnitude of the task be comes apparent when it is realized tiat he was dealing, for the most part, with music which was never originally written down. Add to this the fact that the tonal and rhythmic sequences of blues do not come from the same culture which produced our system of musical notation. "The Negro blues singer embel lishes his melodies with countless subtleties of pitch and tempo vari ation," the author explains, adding if indeed these embellishments are not the very heart of the mat ter. . "Therefore. I tried not to lose sight of the fact that this is a songbook and, instead of striving lor accuracy for accuracy s sake. attempted to render instead easily comprehensible, singable versions of the blues singers' . complex mel odic and rhythmic vocal inventions." The songs selected form a repre sentative assortment, divided into categories by the moods of condi tions that originally called them forth; unrequited love, prison, pov erty, discrimination, whiskey or so of a way' of life."
