Both songs feature contrast between a high instrumental register with a low vocal one, comic exaggeration, hyperbole, verse and refrain, call and response, and syncopation. Richard Crawford observes in America's Musical Life that the song resembles Dan Emmett's " Old Dan Tucker", and he suggests that Foster used Emmett's piece as a model. Foster's music was used for derivatives that include "Banks of the Sacramento", "A Capital Ship" (1875), and a pro-Lincoln parody introduced during the 1860 presidential campaign. In The Americana Song Reader, William Emmett Studwell writes that the song was introduced by the Christy Minstrels, noting that Foster's "nonsense lyrics are much of the charm of this bouncy and enduring bit of Americana", and the song was a big hit with minstrel troupes throughout the country. Together with " Oh! Susanna", "Camptown Races" is one of the gems of the minstrel era." his dialect verses have all the wild exaggeration and rough charm of folk tale as well as some of his most vivid imagery . He composed it as a piece for solo voice with group interjections and refrain . Richard Jackson was curator of the Americana Collection at New York Public Library he writes:įoster quite specifically tailored the song for use on the minstrel stage. "Camptown Races" was introduced by the Christy's Minstrels.
