Band Combs Drums Give Horns Prepare Sextet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the moment six children, a mix of young and very young, eagerly prepare to entertain an audience with their sextet performance in the late 1890s. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, hold an assortment of musical instruments - drums, horns, and combs with paper. Their expressions radiate excitement and anticipation, as they stand in a semi-circle, ready to harmonize and create music together. The historical significance of this image lies in its representation of childhood innocence and the universal language of music. At a time when formal music education was not readily accessible to all, children found joy and expression through informal means such as playing in neighborhood bands or sextets. This photograph is a testament to the power of music to bring people together, regardless of age or circumstance. The use of unconventional instruments, such as combs and paper, adds to the charm of this image. The children's creativity and resourcefulness in creating music with everyday objects is a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of childhood. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring power of music to bring people together and create memorable moments. It is a reminder that music transcends time and culture, and that the joy of making music is a universal experience.
