Summary
"Although George F. Root is most often remembered for his Civil War songs, this "operatic cantata"shows him to have been a gifted and sensitive composer of music theater as well. The Haymakers represents the best of the dramatic cantata, a popular nineteenth-century genre that combined elements of American balladry with the oratorio, glee, and church music traditions made popular by Lowell Mason and his followers. The present edition is based on the original 1857 print published by Mason Brothers of New York, with all the missing accompaniments realized and with suggestions for mounting a modern, staged performance." -- Provided by publisher.

Contents
Part first. Arouse ye, arouse ye ; Away to the meadows, away! ; Sweet morn, how lovely is thy face ; To Him who made us ; Now steady swing your scythes ; With step firm and steady ; The sun has now drunk up the morning dew ; Toss it hither, toss it thither ; Toss it and With step ; Higher and higher mounts the sun ; The birds have sought the forest shade ; The hour of noon is here ; 'Tis the farmer's welcome call ; Sweet after toil cometh rest ; Refreshed now with vigor new ; 'Toss it hither ; Hark to the cheerful sound ; Prepare we now to close the labors of the day ; Come, follow, while gayly we rake up the hay ; In the west the sun declineth ; When wandering o'er the deep ; A dairy maid am I ; Softly the twilight fades
Interlude. Mary, love, the world reposes ; There's none so brave as Willie
Part second. Good morning ; How pleasant are those cheerful words ; Blithely go we forth, 'tis our harvest day ; Light-hearted are we, and free from care ; How like some tented camp ; Joy, joy, it is not the tented field ; Scenes of happiness, I love ye ; The dew now is off ; How good is He, the Giver ; How sultry is the day ; How hushed and still ; A shower! a shower! ; Now creaks the heavy wagon ; Shrouded is the sun ; Lo! the clouds are breaking ; Rainbow! Rainbow! ; All nature now rejoices ; Harvest home
Appendix. Heigho! How early the folks get up! ; Some folks like the country ; Hold on! ; My Katy's a girl beyond compare ; No, not yet ; Wasps! Wasps! ; Will anybody lend me an umbrella?
