Joseph Lamb - Reindeer Rag (1915) [HQ]

Описание: Joseph Lamb - Reindeer Rag (1915) [HQ] Piano

Joseph Francis Lamb born in in Montclair, New Jersey in 1887. He was a noted American composer of ragtime music. Lamb, of Irish descent, was the only non-African American of the "Big Three" composers of classical ragtime, the other two being Scott Joplin and James Scott.

The ragtime of Joseph Lamb ranges from standard popular fare to complex and highly engaging. His use of long phrases was influenced by classical works he had learned from his sister and others while growing up, but his sense of structure was potentially derived from his study of Joplin's piano rags. By the time he added some polish to his later works in the 1950s, Lamb had mastered the classic rag genre in a way that almost no other composer was able to approach at that time, and continued to play it passably as well, as evidenced by at least two separate recordings done in his home.

Lamb’s twelve rags published by Stark from 1908 to 1919 can be divided into two groups. As a first, The “heavy” rags which are incorporated with Scott Joplin’s melody–dominated style and James Scott’s expansive use of the keyboard registers. This style of rags includes

"Ethiopia Rag" (1909)
"Excelsior Rag" (1909)
"American Beauty Rag" (1913)
"Ragtime Nightingale" (1915)
"The Top Liner Rag" (1916)

And second, The “light” rags which have the cakewalk tradition show the narrow-range melodies inspired by Joplin. This style of rags includes

"Champagne Rag" (1910)
"Cleopatra Rag" (1915)
"Reindeer : Ragtime Two Step" (1915)
"Bohemia Rag" (1919)
"Contentment Rag" (1915) and "Patricia Rag" (1916) have both characteristics of “heavy” rags and “light” rags.
