Download or read book Music in the Mountains written by Kara Rogers Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the role traditional music plays in shaping and solidifying concepts of regional identity in Western North Carolina. The genres of traditional American music encompassed by this study include Ballads, Old-Time Music, and Bluegrass. Despite the ubiquity of these traditions across the national landscape, all three genres are recognized, both within and beyond the Southeast, as being representative of a Southern Appalachian ethos. This work investigates the causes for such deep associations between music and place. Four years of fieldwork and observation, including the author's active participation with the region's Folk Heritage Committee, which hosts traditional music events through the summer months, provides this study's methodological framework. In brief, this work examines the multiple traditional music communities in Asheville, North Carolina, and the surrounding area, provides biographical sketches of a small sampling of area musicians, and shows how individual musicians and distinctive traditional music communities merge at area festivals to reify concepts of regionalism. It finds that the designation of Ballads, Old-Time Music, and Bluegrass Music as Southern Appalachian regional music is both constructed and affirmed by the interplay between outsiders' and insiders' conceptualizations of regional identity.

Download or read book Wayfaring Strangers written by Fiona Ritchie and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, a steady stream of Scots migrated to Ulster and eventually onward across the Atlantic to resettle in the United States. Many of these Scots-Irish immigrants made their way into the mountains of the southern Appalachian region. They brought with them a wealth of traditional ballads and tunes from the British Isles and Ireland, a carrying stream that merged with sounds and songs of English, German, Welsh, African American, French, and Cherokee origin. Their enduring legacy of music flows today from Appalachia back to Ireland and Scotland and around the globe. Ritchie and Orr guide readers on a musical voyage across oceans, linking people and songs through centuries of adaptation and change.

Download or read book Minstrel of the Appalachians written by Loyal Jones and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that Bascom Lamar Lunsford would "cross hell on a rotten rail to get a folk song"—his Southern highlands folk-song compilations now constitute one of the largest collections of its kind in the Library of Congress—but he did much more than acquire songs. He preserved and promoted the Appalachian mountain tradition for generations of people, founding in 1928 the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville, North Carolina, an annual event that has shaped America's festival movement. Loyal Jones pens a lively biography of a man considered to be Appalachian music royalty. He also includes a "Lunsford Sampler" of ballads, songs, hymns, tales, and anecdotes, plus a discography of his recordings.
