This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the things I did to pay my way through college was to entertain at coffee houses, playing the guitar and singing folk songs. Many of the songs in the collection are old favorites that were in my repertoire. While I sang a lot of songs from the English-speaking countries, I especially loved finding tunes from other countries. Many those songs have found their way into this book. Then, when I finally put the book together with 45 songs, there was a space left over just big enough to add one more song. So, I did! The songs are arranged as solos, duets, and rounds. As well as notes for the psaltery, lyrics and guitar chords are included for many of the tunes. This collection includes: Anile Anile Vaa Vaa Vaa, Avenging and Bright, Ba Huangshan Biachen Fu, The Blackest Crow, Blow Away the Morning Dew, Bottom of the Punchbowl, Branle de Bourgogne, Ciocarlanul - The Lark, Come All Fair & Tender Maidens, Come Dance and Sing, Corcorans Cross, Early One Morning, Flowers of Edinburgh, For Ireland I'll not Tell Her NameFour Marys, The Gentle Maiden, The Great Silky of Sule Skerry, Green Broom, Hatikvah - The Hope, The House Carpenter, How Can I Keep from Singing?, Huron Carol - 'Twas in the Midst of Wintertide, Jasmine Flower, Jubilate Deo Omnis, Kathleen O'Moore, Korobeiniki, Land of Our Fathers, Lord Thomas of Winesberry, Mairi's Wedding, Mallibrok, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, The Minstrel Boy, Mo Ghile Mear, Mo Li Hua - Jasmine Flower, Moscow Nights, Muss I Denn, Never Weather-Beaten Sail, Odzidani - Expectation Waltz, Piri Miri Dictum Domini, Sakura - Cherry Blossoms, Sara Sara, Three Ravens, Water is Wide, Whistling Gypsy, Yslwffyl - The Doorknocker, Yuki - Snow Song.

Download or read book The Early History of the Viol written by Ian Woodfield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-04-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the development of the viol from its late medieval Spanish origins to the sixteenth century, when it became the most widely played bowed instrument in western Europe. Ian Woodfield examines the two most important ancestors of the instrument, the Moorish rahab and the vihuela de mano. From these two instruments emerged an early form of viol, the Valencian vihuela de arco, which spread rapidly across the Mediterranean during the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia. The viol was enthusiastically accepted by the d'Este and Gonzaga families and other Italian arbiters before migrating across the Alps and into the rest of Europe. The author discusses all aspects of the viol during its Renaissance hey-day: the growing perfection of viol design at the hands of Italian craftsmen; the gradual evolution of tuning systems; the development of advanced playing techniques and the wide range of music, both solo and consort. The final chapter examines the growth of a viol playing tradition in sixteenth-century England, in particular in the London choir-schools. Dr Woodfield brings iconographic evidence and an interesting approach to this study which will be of interest to musicologists, iconographers, organologists and viol players.
Download or read book The Viola d Amore written by Rachael Durkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first scholarly history of the viola d’amore, a popular bowed string instrument of the Baroque era, with a unique tone produced by a set of metal sympathetic strings. Composers like Bach made use of the viola d’amore for its particular sound, but the instrument subsequently fell out of fashion amid orchestral standardisation, only to see a revival as interest in early music and historical performance grew. Drawing on literary accounts, iconography, and surviving instruments, this study examines the origins and development of this eye-catching string instrument in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It explores the rich variation of designs displayed in extant viola d’amore specimens, both as originally constructed and as a result of conversion and repair. The viola d’amore is then set into the wider context of Elizabethan England’s development of instruments with wire strings, and its legacy in the form of the baryton which emerged in the early seventeenth century, followed by a look at the viola d’amore’s own nomenclatorial and organological influence. The book closes with a discussion of the viola d’amore’s revival, and its use and manufacture today. Offering insights for organological research and historical performance practice, this study enhances our knowledge of both the viola d’amore and its wider family of instruments.

Download or read book Appalachian Dulcimer Traditions written by Ralph Lee Smith and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Appalachian dulcimer is one of America's major contributions to world music and folk art. Homemade and handmade, played by people with no formal knowledge of music, this beautiful instrument arrived in the light of the 20th century with virtually no written record. Appalachian Dulcimer Traditions is a first-hand report to enlarge our knowledge of the dulcimer's history by searching the hills and "hollers" of Appalachia, looking at old instruments, and listening to the tales of old folks. After reviewing the instrument's special musical features, the book describes some related instruments, and reveals little-known facts about the dulcimer's origins on the early Appalachian frontier. The book then describes three major design traditions of the dulcimer, each centered in its own geographical area, and focuses on important makers in each of the three traditions--the Melton family of Galax, Virginia, Charles M. Prichard of Huntington, West Virginia, and "Uncle Ed" Thomas of Kentucky. A final chapter describes four Appalachian makers of the folk revival transition, who began making instruments the old-time way and modernized them to meet the needs of Post-World-War-II urban players. The book concludes with listings of dulcimer recordings in the Archive of Folk Culture of the Library of Congress.
