Book excerpt: Song and dance style--viewed as nonverbal communications about culture--are here related to social structure and cultural history. Patterns of performance, theme, text and movement are analyzed in large samples of films an recordings from the whole range of human culture, according to the methods explained in this volume. Cantometrics, which means song as a measure of man, finds that traditions of singing trace the main historic distributions of human culture and that specific traits of performance are communications about identifiable aspects of society. The predictable and universal relations between expressive communication and social organization, here established for the first time, open up the possibility of a scientific aesthetics, useful to planners.

Download or read book The New Penguin Book of English Folk Songs written by Julia Bishop and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Spectator's Books of the Year 2012 'Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For we've received orders for to sail for old England But we hope in a short while to see you again' One of the great English popular art forms, the folk song can be painful, satirical, erotic, dramatic, rueful or funny. They have thrived when sung on a whim to a handful of friends in a pub; they have bewitched generations of English composers who have set them for everything from solo violin to full orchestra; they are sung in concerts, festivals, weddings, funerals and with nobody to hear but the singer. This magical new collection brings together all the classic folk songs as well as many lesser-known discoveries, complete with music and annotations on their original sources and meaning. Published in cooperation with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, it is a worthy successor to Ralph Vaughan Williams and A.L.Lloyd's original Penguin Book of English Folk Songs. 'Her keen eye did glitter like the bright stars by night The robe she was wearing was costly and white Her bare neck was shaded with her long raven hair And they called her pretty Susan, the pride of Kildare' In association with EFDSS, the English Folk Dance and Song Society

Download or read book The Anglo American Ballad written by Dianne Dugaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995. This book’s collection of key essays presents a coherent overview of touchstone statements and issues in the study of Anglo-American popular ballad traditions and suggests ways this panoramic view affords us a look at Euro-American scholarship’s questions, concerns and methods. The study of ballads in English began early in the eighteenth century with Joseph Addison’s discussions which marked the onset of an aesthetic and scholarly interest in popular traditions. Therefore the collection begins with him and then chronologically includes scholars whose views mark pivotal moments which taken together tell a story that does not emerge through an examination of the ballads themselves. The book addresses debates in tradition, orality, performance and community as well as national genealogies and connections to contexts. Each selected piece is pre-empted by an introductory section on its importance and relevance.

Book excerpt: PREFACE. FLAX culture and praparation, though ranking amongst the oldest of the worlds industries, is nevertheIess very imperfectIy supplied with any publications which present in seriatim a compIetc description of thc essential and possiblc methods connected wit, h the selection of sced, suitability of land anti its prcparatiori, harvesting and handling of flax crops, incltxding rcttir g, s cutching, preparing the flax for the market and the saving of seed for subscqueut sowings or fcotiing purposes. It was with a vicw of ncutralixing to some extent this cleficiency, that I consented to propare for publication in Foolr form t, Ile results of a long and enthrasiastic study of the pro blems associated with the ultivat io a n n d preparation of this national, csscritial and commerciaI commodity. Speaking generally, I have long been ardcntly interested, theoretically and practically, in flax cultivation and prbeparation. As a result of much study, numerous discussions with prodrlcers arid experimenters, observations and tabulated experiences, I have naturally formed some definite conclusions, even on such a subjcct as Flax, in any branch of which, every experimenter and obscrvcr has a different opinion to offer. The substance of thcsc cxpcricnces I have embodied in my lectures to the students at the Municipal Technical Institute, Belfast. These classes have recently been particularly wcll attended by successive groups of demobilized officers and men arid farmers sons who have gone, or are going out to British East Africa to grow flax, among other crops, for thornothcr country. This volume embodics not only the above-mentioned lectures, but also includes an exhaustive description of the .usual methods practised md the recent dcveloprnents and modem1 methods of httudling flax arid thc possiFiIitjes connected with flax cultivation from seed, to seed and fibre Tncidentally, the future of the Linen Irldustry depe ltls primariIy for its continued success and increase upon the supply of its raw rna, teriaI-flax, and it is hoped that this treatise will contribute to encourage many to grow flax who hitherb0 never a, ttempted to do so, pcrha. ps, from a lack of holdedge of the subjcct, its natural importance a, nd its rern nerat iivpeo ssibilities.
