| Jake Xerxes Fussell Three Ravens Out of Sight Paradise of Bachelors 2019 Music bed.
"In the mid-2000s when I was living in Oxford, Mississippi, I went to an estate sale at an antebellum house in town and found a first edition of Carl Sandburgβs famous 1927 book The American Songbag, which contains βThree Ravens.β Inside was an index card with a charming calligraphed βIf found, please return to,β written by the banjo player and singer John Hartford, along with his Tennessee address. Iβd been listening a lot to the music of Ruth Crawford Seeger, a member of the Seeger family of folk music fame, but also an important and influential avant-garde composer. Her music resides in that interesting place where modern abstract forms and traditional abstract forms collide. Her collection 19 American Folk Songs for Piano includes a wonderful minute-long version of βThree Ravens.β I couldnβt get enough of it, so I went back to my Hartford copy of the Sandburg book (from whom Seeger herself got the tune) and learned it."
