Forgotten Children's Songs - Tenor Banjo Songbook for Beginners with Tabs and Chords If in the book "50 Timeless Children Songs with Tabs and Chords," we presented the 50 most popular children's songs of today's era. But in this book, "Forgotten Children's Songs," we presented 40 children's songs that were popular around 1880. We immediately notice that the repertoire of songs from those days is quite different from a set of modern children's folk songs. But this is not surprising. Most of these children's songs, such as "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Humpty Dumpty," "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," and the like, most likely got their final shape right in the mid-1800s. William Wells Newell (1839-1907), a folklorist, the founder of the American Folklore Society, collected the most popular children's songs on his travels in the United States. In the book "Games and Songs of American Children" from 1884, we notice songs that are hardly sung by today's children. At the time of publication of this book, "Forgotten Children's Songs," we do not find most of these songs even on almighty Youtube. The other half of the songs in this book are songs that were once so popular that we find them in almost every old book. But nowadays they have almost disappeared from children's games. There are, of course, several reasons for the loss of popularity. Former educational songs became almost banned in modern education. We avoid, for example, mentioning acts of violence, such as the once-daily hunt in the song "Hare and Hunter." For example, we avoid former worldviews, like "What care we for gold or silver?". Nowadays, we can hardly imagine a child singing "I'm glad I am a farmer." It is better not to talk at all about old archetypal ballads that do not correspond to our advertised notion of modern life. And so on. In short, before us is a new book of slightly older but once most popular children's songs that portray the world in a slightly different way. Book benefits Collection of 40 once most popular, but nowadays forgotten old-time children's songs. Suitable for parents and children.
