"Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" is a song attributed to famed black composer/musician James A. Bland (known as the black Stephen Foster), and was published in 1878. However music historians tell that the the song was being sung as early as 1840, and was popular during the American Civil War period. Credit, however belongs to James A. Bland for formatting it in a form that could be published, and for making it popular. A Boston music publisher that had printing houses in 5 states published, printed and distributed the music throughout the USA in the years following 1878.
In 1940, the state of Virginia adopted the tune as their state song, and it was retained by Virginia until 1997. Although Virginia's official state song is now "Our Great Virginia", this James A. Bland song remains their state anthem.
I find the tune to be a particularly beautiful one.
