Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Songs of Robert Burns: Now First Printed With the Melodies for Which They Were Written; A Study in Tone-Poetry In bringing together for the time the songs of Robert Burns with the melodies for which they were written I do not propose to criticize either. So far as the verses are concerned they have remained famous for more than a century, and are likely to continue famous independent of any literary criticism. So far as the airs are concerned - airs which go to make up the folk-music of Scotland, that particular form of unconscious art of which the vehemence, pathos, and often eccentric progressions have been known outside the limits of the country for the last 250 years - want of space forbids any criticism. A merely verbal description of music cannot convey any real impression to the general reader, and an imperfect technical account of Scottish music would be unsatisfactory to the expert. Both will doubtless prefer to read the music for themselves and form their own opinions. For this reason the Preface will be confined to an explanation of (1) Burns sown theory as a song-writer, (2) how he carried it into practice, and(3) what his qualifications were for writing and adapting his verses to pre-existing music. To begin with, then, the term song as it is now used admits of more than one meaning. Originally it meant - and was invariably - a combination of poetry and music, something to be sung. It did not mean, as it often means nowadays, verse with or without tune; nor was it, like the songs of most modern poets, purely literary verse to which music might accidentally be attached. For Burns's songs, peculiarly, this latter meaning is insufficient, and I designate Burns a tone-poet because he wrote for music, and his songs with their airs are a study in tone-poetry. His Commonplace Book (recording his experience about the age of twenty-three, and before he was known to the world) makes this evident, and shows beyond all doubt that he always associated music with his songs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burns and Folk-Song "There is nothing new or mysterious in Burns," says Professor Elton, "except his perfection." The valuation, just in the broadest sense, can be stated with still greater economy. Save that it was individual and peculiar, Burns's perfection was not new. There had preceded him descriptive poets, narrative poets, satiric poets, lyrical poets - all of whom were and are worthy of being classed as perfect by reason of one or more of their poems. In none, however - if we agree to exclude Shakespeare - was perfection so mysterious in its origin or so faithful to its own high standard. That perfection, and not, as some would have it, his personal imperfections, real or imaginary, is the secret of his immortality; its mystery the secret of the world's persistent concern. The biggest brain in Scottish national literature is undoubtedly Scott's, but we do not celebrate his birth at every anniversary; most of us have forgotten the date of his entry into the world, if, indeed, we ever knew it. But Scott was an imperfect, a tantalisingly imperfect, genius; Burns was, when he liked, the unerring master of his art.

Again, why is he great, but from this, that his own songs at once found susceptible ears amongst his compatriots; that, sung by reapers and sheaf-binders, they at once greeted him in the field; and that his.

Download or read book Performing Robert Burns written by Ian Brown and published by EUP. This book was released on 2022-11-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is unashamedly aimed at a wider market than the ordinary academic volume, as it seeks to extend the impact of the research it contains, making it available to the worldwide community of Burns enthusiasts, without compromising on scholarship. Contributors have been selected not only for their academic rigour and reputation, but also because of their ability to handle their material with elegance and accessibility for the general reader. They offer fresh insights for both academic and general readers, not least through the volume's interdisciplinary approaches, including a contribution from the great interpreter of Burns's songs, Sheena Wellington. A key part of this volume's attraction lies in the way it opens up fresh issues and aspects of performance and performativity and their impact on our perception of Robert Burns and his work.

Download or read book Notes on Scottish Song Classic Reprint written by Robert Burns and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Scottish Song The principal part (I) of the following text is a verbatim copy of holograph Notes of Robert Burns in an interleaved copy of the first four volumes of Johnsons Scots Musical Museum, which belonged to Robert Riddell of Glenriddell, the friend and neighbour of Burns at Ellisland. Then follow (Ii) the Notes written by Riddell in the same volumes. The interleaves in the volumes being incomplete, I have described (Iii) the missing leaves, with the songs which faced them in the volumes, with a copy of three important notes which R.C. Cromek inserted in his Reliqucs of Robcfi Burns 1808, as from the hand of Burns. Obviously these cannot be verified. The last part (Iv) consists of a series of spurious notes, also printed by Cromek in the Reliqucs. These are not in the volumes, and never were there. The object of the present small book is simply to correct the misleading statements of Cromek, whose work was received with acclamation, and was so successful that a second edition was printed in 1809. In the year 1813 it was again published as the fifth volume of Curries Works of Robert BurnSy and the Notes now referred to, being a considerable and important part of the volume, have remained, and have been accepted as the authentic waiting of the poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Song Book: A Complete Collection of the Folk-Songs, Carols, and Rounds, Suggested by the Board of Education (1905); Edited and Arranged for the Use of Schools This collection contains all the songs recommended for older children by the Board of Education in their Blue Book of Suggestions see Appendix VI., p. 131. The accompaniments are of the simplest character, and are merely intended to suggest sufficient harmony to make clear the tonality of each song, and in some cases to reinforce the characteristic rhythm, Without distracting the attention of the singers from the melody itself. English children may at first experience some difficulty in grasping the peculiar scales and intervals of Keltic tunes; but What Scotch, Welsh, and Irish children can sing naturally, English children can acquire, and the trouble involved will be amply repaid by the widening of their musical horizon, and by the more deeply poetical influence which Keltic music will exert upon the young mind.
