Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Folk-Song and Popular Poetry Mr. Williams's essays merit a few words of commendation from folk-lorists on this side of the Atlantic as being calculated to interest readers in a subject which is full of profound significance, but against which they may possibly be prejudiced in the degree that science claims it as material for analysis. For within the last few years folk-lore has been promoted to the rank of a serious study and the Folk-Lore Society of London, aided by its numerous and lusty offshoots, both American and Continental, is busily applying the scientific method to fireside tale, custom, song, and ballad seeking what old philosophies lie at the heart of these, and what they have to tell about intercourse between peoples in the past. Nevertheless, the folk-lorist treats his subject-matter as tenderly as Isaak Walton bade the angler hook his worm, for he remembers what poetry the song and saga hold, and that laughter and tears are ever young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Posy of Folk Songs In the Garden (An Old French Song) In a gay garden filled with flowers All days and hours, God formed man in His likeness, And gave him here Of love, wherewith his days to bless, A pledge most dear. Adam lay down in the sweet shade A lime tree made, Alone he lay on the green grass In quiet deep, When suddenly it came to pass He fell on sleep. There while he slept that Sovereign King The Angels sing, Took a rib gently with all care, From out his side, And formed a flower, a woman fair, To be his bride. Adam awoke in pride and joy, Without alloy, "Behold her there, bone of my bone, O God above, Give her to me, no more alone, She whom I love."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in the Study of Folk-Songs The folk -song probably preceded the folk tale. If we are to Judge either by early record or by the analogy of back ward peoples, it seems proved that in infant communities anything that was thought worth remembering was sung. It must have been soon ascertained that words rhythmically arranged take, as a rule firmer root than prose. As I do not know how to read, says a modern Greek folk-singer, I have made this story into a song so as not to forget it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk-Songs of Eastern Europe Therefore, in dealing With many of the songs, I have asked the friends who have written verses for me to be guided solely by the inspiration of the melodies. There are a few exceptions to this, such as the Greek song: 0 let me wander; and the Finnish song, Sweetheart, in which the general meaning of the words found with the melodies has been followed because the thought and the feeling of them seemed suitable to the music.

Download or read book The Blues Lyric Formula written by Michael Taft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first rigourous and detailed exploration of exactly how blues singers used formulas to create songs, and it more than amply fills the gap in the the study of the blues, where the structure and content of the lyrics have been less fully explored than the musical form. Focusing on the songs recorded by African-American singers for pre-World War Two commercial recording companies, this is an excellent structural analysis of the formulaic composistion of blues lyrics. This book gives a step-by-step description of the rules implicit in this formulaic structure and inspires new discussion of lyric structures. A wide array of readers will find this insightful and informative: from students of African-American music, cultural studies, history and linguistics, to Blues fans fascinated by exactly how the lyrics of this influential music style are written.

Download or read book Scots Folk Song Classic Reprint written by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scots Folk Song On the interpretative side the ancient song and ballad indeed presuppose a traditional culture, a culture which, as Yeats has pointed out in his essay on Popular Poetry, cannot be taken for granted in these days, and much study and imagination, therefore, may have to be brought to bear on the subject before it will yield its full message. Such is one of the peculiar difficulties on the interpretative side. On the technical side there is much to accomplish, for it is a great mistake to imagine that simple Scots songs are simple in performance. The voice must be cultured and controlled. But after studies in voice-production have been made, we are only at the beginning of things. Although a fine cantabile type thereis in Scots Song, but few of the best of our songs can be regarded as mere opportunities for vocal display. Indeed in some of the character songs and lilts (in which we are very rich) you must put your voice in your pocket, so to speak, and bring out only so much as is required at the moment to supply the necessary lilt and colour. On the purely musical side it cannot be too much insisted upon with young singers - and some not so very young either - that accent and shape, beauty of form, intelligibility of phrase, and the hypnotism of rhythm which plays such an all-important part in all art - can be attained only by carefully worked out gradations and that such gradations can be achieved only by fierce economy, by cutting away as well as by adding on, by lessening the tone-quantity in one place that it may stand out in relief in another. If, indeed, you begin a tone-curving phrase with one shadow of a shade too much tone, you may from the first have made your' intended crescendo curve impossible. And if - after a point, an accent arrived at, worked up to - you lean with the faintest too much stress or too long duration on a weak following beat - a common rhythmical feature in Scots music - you have wiped out again your climax, your point, you have destroyed your lilt, blurred your melodic shape.
