Written by Henry Clay Work , perhaps the most famous composer o f the Civil War era, in 1864, “Wake Nicodemus” combines the custom of portraiture through song with an abolitionist sentiment calling for freedom ( Glass, 96). The character, Nicodemus, charges those around him to “ Wake me up at the first break of day. Wake me up for the great Jubiliee” (Glass, 97). This song was considered one of the most beautiful songs of the day (Glass, 96).

"Wake Nicodemus" employs the story of a slave as a tactic for promoting abolition. By allowing the audience to enter into Nocodemus' life, and by allowing the listener to know him and sympathize with him, the case for abolition is made all the more compelling. Nicodemus is characterized as a prophet: wise and impressive. He is almost supernaturally wise and humble, in every way the sage. Thus he is portrayed as a man, and as he looks forward to the "good time coming", the listener too longs for that day.

All Records conservatively graded by the VJM Record Grading System(vjm.biz)

VJM GRADING DEFINITIONS

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E+ is the highest grade I use.

E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) G- (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.
