SUMMARY:'Songs of the Common Man' Spring Concert, David Johnson Chor
 us, Covenant UMC, Cordova, TN
DESCRIPTION:Songs of the Common ManSpring concert by David Johnson Choru
 sCovenant UMC, 8350 Walnut Grove Rd., Cordova, TNFriday, Jun
 e 7, 7 p.m."Sometimes things can be expressed in a song that
  can't be talked about out loud."  This is opening comment m
 ade by David Johnson, Director of the David Johnson Chorus, 
 in describing the chorus' concert theme this spring.  "I'm c
 alling it 'Songs of the Common Man,'" Johnson explains.  "Th
 e songs come from three different eras of social stress in o
 ur country:  the 1950's and 60's; the time of westward movem
 ent into the Appalachians by our forefathers; and the time o
 f slavery."The chorus will be singing a number of familiar f
 olksongs from the fifties and sixties.  Some people called t
 hem "campfire songs" because they were tunes that were easil
 y sung and lyrics easily remembered among groups of teenager
 s.  There will be songs made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary,
  Pete Seeger, The Brothers Four, The Limelighters, and The C
 hristie Minstrels.  Many in the audience will remember Puff 
 the Magic Dragon, This Land is Your Land, Michael Row the Bo
 at Ashore, If I Had a Hammer and the haunting Where Have All
  the Flowers Gone?  And in the spirit of authenticity, the o
 nly accompaniment the chorus will use will be various member
 s of the group playing guitars.When immigrants from Scotland
  and Ireland moved westward toward the Appalachians they int
 roduced a style of singing that is known as Sacred Harp, als
 o called fa-sol-la singing because emphasis was placed on le
 arning the names of the shape notes.  This singing was most 
 recently featured in the movie adaptation of the book "Cold 
 Mountain."  The harmonies are haunting and the subject matte
 r heart breaking due to the difficult lives they experienced
 .  The last section of the concert will be of Negro Spiritua
 ls.  This genre has long been a hallmark of DJC.  Slaves bro
 ught tunes with them from Africa and infused them with words
  that reflected not only the hardships of their lives but al
 so of the hope they had in the hereafter, a place of joy and
  peace.
