Think of what is coming as a combination of the Great Depression and the Civil War all rolled into one. It’s why I left Seattle for a tiny fishing village on the Georgia coast two years ago.

You’ll need the tissues for Thomas Hampson’s version of “Hard Times”. The video will leave you shaken. Just a friendly warning.

By 1860, the 34 year old
Stephen Foster found himself forced to return to the plantation song just as Northerners were getting tired of hearing anything about the South. Regional tensions were at the boiling point. Foster wrote one of his most famous songs, a hymn that praises the spirit of the laborer at the end of his life and is based on the black church tradition of the spiritual. Its achingly beautiful, even if it fell out of favor during the Sixties.
Foster: Old Black Joe
A plantation tune about a paddle wheeler.
The Glendy Burk
Written in 1851, this wasnt finally published until 1860. The death of children was an everyday occurrence in an era when it was a struggle for any child to make it past its ninth birthday. This is a song of grieving, yet done in a major key.
Virginia Belle

This is synonymous with Foster and is a critical part of American song: De Camptown Races Around 1850, "Sacramento," a popular sea shanty, was adapted to the tune of "The Camptown Races," a huge hit at the time (I'd provide a link if I could find a decent recording). Soon afterwards, "De Hamborger Veermaster" (Hamburg's four-master), a song adapted from "Sacramento," was being sung by German sailors. Although it uses a different melody than "The Camptown Races," it retains the English-language chorus of "Sacramento," while the verses are sung in low German.
The song describes a "hard case" ship that is filthy and louse-ridden, whose food supply consists of maggot-infested bacon and spoiled--salt pork--sounds like a ship that has recently been in the news.

In 1860,
Stephen Foster and family moved from Pittsburgh to New York for the second time. In 1861, his wife and daughter moved back to Pittsburgh. For all practical purposes, the marriage was over.
Foster took up residence in lodging houses and cheap hotels in the theater district, trying all the while to get a contract with a publisher. The outbreak of the Civil War made everything tenuous in Fosters world, in that contracts became impossible, and he was forced to sell his songs outright with no possibility of royalties.
Foster: The Merry, Merry Month of May
One survivor from 1862 is a period piece about the war. As expected, Foster took a strong stand for the Union. This is a great song if youre a Yankee. Note the hatred that one group of Americans felt for the other.
Thats Whats the Matter
Heres Alison Krauss, with Yo-Yo Ma, Mark OConnor and Edgar Meyer.
Slumber My Darling
Judith Edelman does a fine modern job with this song.
No One to Love
This was something of a recruiting tune for the North. Foster set the poem to music, and there is about 1:30 of explanation at the beginning of the video.
We are Coming, Father Abraham
Gentle Lena Clare
From this period of few successes comes one of his best songs. Its unforgettable, beautiful and one of his masterpieces. Thomas Hampson does a magnificent job.
Beautiful Dreamer
