Victor records (Jan 1912)

VICTOR RECORDS | Number | 5 Price FISK UNIVERSITY JUBILEE QUARTET—J. W. Work, N. W. Ryder, Rev. J. A. Myers, A. G. King, L. P. O’Hara The Jubilee Songs collected and introduced to the world by Fisk University, and which might be called Negro Folk Songs, are without parallel among musical productions. They touch the heart with their pathos; and, although intensely religious, they sometimes excite to laughter by their quaint conceptions of .eligious ideas or Biblical facts. Kept fresh and living by contact with the people, and sung by trained vocalists who are thoroughly in sympathy with the emotional nature of their originators, they have a unique and powerful appeal to all classes. The original company of Jubilee Singers traveled seven years in the United States and Europe. After the disbanding of this company, the work was kept up by a quartet which has been kept in the field for the whole or part of each season. The Victor has secured the exclusive record services of the genuine Fisk Quartet, and now presents a number of their unique songs. In some of the records the 2nd Bass is sung by Mr. King, whose portrait appears above, and in others this part is rendered by the new basso, Mr. O'Hara.
