Title: Minutes of the Forty-Eighth Annual Session of the North Ohio Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church . .
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Lorain, Ohio: [The Conference], 1929. Good. 8½” x 6”. Paper wrappers. Pp. 99. Good: wrappers and bifolium comprising frontis and title detached; light chipping to edges; unevenly toned. This is a record of an annual meeting of the North Ohio Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first independent Black denomination in the United States. This book documents the 48th annual session and begins with a frontis portrait of its presiding bishop, William Henry Heard. Born into slavery, Heard served in the South Carolina Senate from 1876 to 1877, joined AME the following year and rose quickly through its ranks. He served as United States Ambassador to Liberia from 1895 to 1898, fought tirelessly for equality and died in 1937. Along with detailed minutes of daily conference activities, the book holds names and reports of officers and committees not limited to the women's Mite Missionary Society, Ministers Wives' Association, “Evangelists” and “State of the Church and Country.” It notes countless churches, members and donations, including “Contribution to Wilberforce,” and reports on Bishop Heard's trip overseas: “When he reached Paris, he was subjected to no humiliation on the ground of color. There are no race distinctions there . . . The young people can improve their education by travel . . . [and] enjoy the experience of being treated like men and women.” The last few pages hold tables of financial data, with every district, town and pastor in the conference listed. Rich coverage of an Ohio conference of an important African American denomination. We were unable to locate any holdings in OCLC.

Title: Trocha. A Cuban Dance
Author: [Music – Dance – Cuba / Caribbean – African-Americana] Tyers, W. H.
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Covers detached, loss to front cover, contents complete, fair to good.
Description: New York: Jos. W. Stern & Co, 1890. Folio sheet music, illustrated pictorial cover printed in orange. 5 pp. (including cover). Approximately 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Covers detached, loss to front cover, contents complete, fair to good.. A decorative late nineteenth-century dance publication for “Trocha,” described on the cover as “A Cuban Dance,” composed by the African American composer and bandleader W. H. Tyers. The elaborate pictorial cover incorporates stylized tropical foliage and island scenery rendered in a bold single-color design, typical for the period’s fascination with exoticized musical forms. William H. Tyers (1870–1924) was an African American composer, arranger, and bandleader active in New York during the ragtime era. Born in Petersburg, Virginia, to Henry Tyers and Jane “Jennie” Jones, both formerly enslaved, he spent part of his youth in Richmond before his family relocated to New York City, where he began studying piano. His early teachers recognized an aptitude for composition as well as performance, and by the mid-1880s he was writing dance pieces including polkas and waltzes. Around the age of twenty Tyers secured employment as a music librarian and arranger with a touring concert company, a position that brought him to Europe, where he studied orchestration and arranging with Professor Gaspari in Hamburg. Returning to New York, Tyers became active in the city’s rapidly expanding popular music trade, working as an arranger and composer for publishers including F. A. Mills and Jos. W. Stern & Co. In 1896 he published “Sambo,” a syncopated march sometimes considered to be one of the first instrumental rags.[1] “Trocha”, also released in the 1980s, brought Tyers prominence for his ability to write Latin-style rhythms. It was re-issued in 1913 as a tango, and its success led Tyers to work as an arranger with Joseph W. Stern in 1897. Tyers’ compositions blended contemporary American dance music with Caribbean and Latin themes, a style reflected in pieces such as Trocha and later in his well-known ragtime composition Panama (1911), which remained a staple of early jazz and dance orchestras. OCLC finds two copies with different entries, at the Cleveland Public Library and the British Museum Reference Collections.
