About this collection
Explore Natalie Curtis's pioneering collections of American musical heritage. This collection features The Indians' Book, a comprehensive 583-page documentation of American Indian songs and legends, and Negro Folk-Songs, an authentic record of spirituals, work-songs, and play-songs from Hampton Institute. Both volumes offer vocal arrangements—including male quartet settings with piano—alongside the cultural and historical context behind these traditional melodies. Essential resources for singers, educators, and musicians interested in American folk traditions and multicultural music.
