Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book captures the rise of New York's passionately musical Irish Catholics and provides a compelling history of early New York City. The Unstoppable Irish follows the changing fortunes of New York's Irish Catholics, commencing with the evacuation of British military forces in late 1783 and concluding one hundred years later with the completion of the initial term of the city's first Catholic mayor. During that century, Hibernians first coalesced and then rose in uneven progression from being a variously dismissed, despised, and feared foreign group to ultimately receiving de facto acceptance as constituent members of the city's population. Dan Milner presents evidence that the Catholic Irish of New York gradually integrated (came into common and equal membership) into the city populace rather than assimilated (adopted the culture of a larger host group). Assimilation had always been an option for Catholics, even in Ireland. In order to fit in, they needed only to adopt mainstream Anglo-Protestant identity. But the same virile strain within the Hibernian psyche that had overwhelmingly rejected the abandonment of Gaelic Catholic being in Ireland continued to hold forth in Manhattan and the community remained largely intact. A novel aspect of Milner's treatment is his use of song texts in combination with period news reports and existing scholarship to develop a fuller picture of the Catholic Irish struggle. Products of a highly verbal and passionately musical people, Irish folk and popular songs provide special insight into the popularly held attitudes and beliefs of the integration epoch.

  • Release : 2004
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 572 pages

Download or read book Folk Song written by Ian Russell and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last thirty years, there have been very few volumes published in the UK devoted to the study of folk song and the folk song revival, much of the research in the field appearing in the pages of the Folk Music Journal or coming from North America. This extensive collection of papers, while not comprehensive, is intended in part to fill this void and to make a contribution to the field of study. It is the unashamed product of a major conference to mark the centenary of the founding of the Folk-Song Society, held at the University of Sheffield, 10-12 July 1998, and organised jointly by the University's Department of Music and National Centre for English Cultural Tradition, together with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, the successor to the Folk-Song Society since its merger with the English Folk Dance Society in 1932."--p.1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sculptures of Conrad Shawcross RA explore subjects that lie on the borders of geometry and philosophy, physics and metaphysics. For the 2015 Summer Exhibition's Annenberg Courtyard installation, Shawcross created a large-scale, immersive work consisting of five cloud-like forms in steel. Made from thousands of tetrahedrons, these forms stand at over six metres high and weigh five tonnes each. Shawcross explains: "The Greeks considered the tetrahedron to represent the very essence of matter. In this huge work I have taken this form as my 'brick', growing these chaotic, diverging forms that will float above the heads of visitors." As well as photography of the works in situ, this publication contains working drawings, structural diagrams and a text by the architecture writer Patrick Sykes. AUTHOR: Patrick Sykes is an architecture writer and radio producer whose work is featured or forthcoming in The Times, Mas Context, Warscapes, Polis and on BBC Radio 4. SELLING POINTS: * Includes structural diagrams showing the construction of this dramatic work * Features an exclusive interview with the artist himself * Conrad Shawcross is the youngest living Royal Academician 80 colour
