Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos ● 15th Sep 2015		Review The composer of these two songs, Charles S. Skilton (1868-1941), was a leading representative of the "Indianist" movement in American music. "Indianist" composers tried to create a "genuine", national American music by borrowing melodies and rhythms from Native American songs, in the same way that European classical composers sometimes used melodies from their own countries' folk music. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



xiphophilos ● 15th Sep 2015		Released in 1920 according to S. Barr, Almost Complete 78 rpm Record Dating Guide II (1992) (source), but 1920 is apparently only the year when the recordings were made. The record is first listed among Charles Sanford Skilton's publications in the University of Kansas Graduate Magazine (Jun. 1921) p. 14 (source). Reviewed in The Southern Workman [publication of the Hampton Institute] 50.8 (Aug. 1921) p. 383: "Indian Music The Columbia Graphophone Co. has issued a double record of Indian compositions for orchestra by Prof. C. S. Skilton. The compositions are entitled "Kickapoo Social Dance" and "Sioux Flute Serenade." The melodies were supplied by George La Mere, a Haskell Indian student, so that the music is peculiarly a Lawrence product. This is the second double record of Prof. Skilton's compositions to be released by the Columbia Co., his "Two Indian Dances" having appeared last February. The records were made last summer [i.e., June 1920] by the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, under the supervision of Prof. Skilton, who was at that time in the East." Columbia ad ("Helping Children To Interpret Music") in the Educator-Journal [Indiana] 22.5 (Jan. 1922), p. 323. The same ad also appeared in the Wisconsin Journal of Education 54.2 (Feb. 1922), p. 39 and in the Colorado School Journal 37.6 (Feb. 1922), p. 47.
