| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "In this innovative resource, Thomas P. Walsh has compiled a unique collection of approximately 1,400 published and unpublished American musical compositions related to the Philippines during the American colonial era from 1898 to 1946. Walsh surveyed a wide array of sources...
Although most of the chronologically listed songs will be new to scholars and students, those like "Ma Little Cebu Maid," "My Own Manila Sue," "My Filipino Belle," "Down on the Philippine Isles," "Beside the Pasig River," "My Philippino Pearl," and "I Want a Filipino Man" were all published and widely promoted by the Tin Pan Alleys of major U.S. cities, performed on stage, and listened to on records and piano rolls across America. The lyrics often illustrate popular American attitudes, from shrilly patriotic numbers about the Battle of Manila Bay and the later Fall of Bataan and Corregidor to wistful, romantic, and even charming reminiscences of happy days spent in "old" Manila to racially charged pieces rife with deprecating stereotypes of Filipinos.
The book reprints a number of hard-to-find lyrics, making them available to readers for the first time in more than a century. It also provides copyright registration numbers and dates of registration for many published and unpublished songs. Finally, more than 700 notes on particular songs and numerous links provide direct access to bibliographic records or digital copies of sheet music in libraries and collections. Exhaustive in scope, Tin Pan Alley and the Philippines is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of American history, Pacific sturies, popular culture, and ethnomusicology."
