An invitation to attend “An Evening with Stephen Foster” had me searching my library for a book I last remember reading 50 years ago. Incredibly, I found it in a stack of music on the bottom shelf of a cabinet—A Treasury of Stephen Foster, illustrated with preface, historical notes, and arrangements.
Stephen Foster was born on the Fourth of July in 1826, slavery was the law of the land and California was still part of Mexico. Foster died 38 years later in 1864. He was dead broke with 38 cents in his pocket.
In his short life he left a grand musical legacy that includes such standards as: “Oh! Susanna”, “My Old Kentucky Home”, “Beautiful Dreamer” and “Hard Times Come Again No More”.
This book, if you can find it, is a great introduction to Foster, his times and his works—illustrated and with the music.
