dbo:abstract
  • "Bright Morning Star" is a traditional Appalachian spiritual, the earliest recording of which dates back to 1937. It has been sung by numerous folk artists, but was popularized in the folk revivals of the 1960s and 70s, particularly by The Young Tradition. The song was first collected by Alan and Elizabeth Lomax in Harlan County, Kentucky in 1937 as sung by G. D. Vowell, under the title "Bright Moving Stars are Rising". The origin of the song, however, predates the audio recording. A textual reference for the song exists in Edward Billups's 1854 book The Sweet Songster, a Baptist hymnal from Kentucky. "Bright Morning Stars" appears in Ruth Crawford Seeger's American Folk Songs for Christmas. She credits it to the Archive of American Folksong at the Library of Congress, with the identifier "1379 A1." (en)
