This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play Me Something Quick and Devilish explores the heritage of traditional fiddle music in Missouri. Howard Wight Marshall considers the place of homemade music in people’s lives across social and ethnic communities from the late 1700s to the World War I years and into the early 1920s. This exceptionally important and complex period provided the foundations in history and settlement for the evolution of today’s old-time fiddling. Beginning with the French villages on the Mississippi River, Marshall leads us chronologically through the settlement of the state and how these communities established our cultural heritage. Other core populations include the “Old Stock Americans” (primarily Scotch-Irish from Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia), African Americans, German-speaking immigrants, people with American Indian ancestry (focusing on Cherokee families dating from the Trail of Tears in the 1830s), and Irish railroad workers in the post–Civil War period. These are the primary communities whose fiddle and dance traditions came together on the Missouri frontier to cultivate the bounty of old-time fiddling enjoyed today. Marshall also investigates themes in the continuing evolution of fiddle traditions. These themes include the use of the violin in Westward migration, in the Civil War years, and in the railroad boom that changed history. Of course, musical tastes shift over time, and the rise of music literacy in the late Victorian period, as evidenced by the brass band movement and immigrant music teachers in small towns, affected fiddling. The contributions of music publishing as well as the surprising importance of ragtime and early jazz also had profound effects. Much of the old-time fiddlers’ repertory arises not from the inherited reels, jigs, and hornpipes from the British Isles, nor from the waltzes, schottisches, and polkas from the Continent, but from the prolific pens of Tin Pan Alley. Marshall also examines regional styles in Missouri fiddling and comments on the future of this time-honored, and changing, tradition. Documentary in nature, this social history draws on various academic disciplines and oral histories recorded in Marshall’s forty-some years of research and field experience. Historians, music aficionados, and lay people interested in Missouri folk heritage—as well as fiddlers, of course—will find Play Me Something Quick and Devilish an entertaining and enlightening read. With 39 tunes, the enclosed Voyager Records companion CD includes a historic sampler of Missouri fiddlers and styles from 1955 to 2012.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musical theatre has come into its own in America; so much so that it has its own distinct identity. The point where American musical theatre came into its own is widely agreed to be in 1927 with the debut of the Kerns/Hammerstein musical Showboat. This musical was a first in several ways, primarily in the tight cohesive way music and dialogue combined to further the story, a rather new innovation for the period. Even with this austere reputation of being innovative, Showboat was not wholly original. This musical, as well as American musical theatre on the whole, was a product of the mingling of styles, a result of influences. Opera, minstrelsy, and vaudeville have collectively left a mark on American musical theatre, making it possible to trace its origins back to their respective histories. Using Showboat as an example of the culmination of the effects of these three on musical theatre in America, it will be shown how each one contributed to its growth. The effect of opera on the overall composition of what would become musical theatre as well as simply introducing the art form to America was significant as a starting point. Minstrelsy would contribute even more to format of theatre, as well as the mix of drama and acting with music as a primary part of the action. Vaudeville made similar contributions, even more clearly refining the ways music could be integral to the movement of a story and actually be a primary component in the staging of a tale. These influences are clearly seen in showboat and provided this revolutionary piece with a groundwork, a foundation to rise from. Showboat, although not directly derivative of opera, minstrelsy, and vaudeville, made use of various devices and formats left to it by its three predecessors to move musical theatre into a new era. All three contributors to American musical theatre, however, have one major point in common. Each introduced the concept of reflecting the issues of American society and history from the stage into what musical theatre would become. Opera, minstrelsy, and vaudeville all made use of preconceptions, misconceptions, and social commentary in America to present their stories. This use of stage to reflect and influence society is one of the strongest links between these three art forms and what became known as American musical theatre.
