Irish traditional music has been practised in the Aran Islands over the last two hundred years at least. In that time, Aran has acquired a cultural importance in local, national and international contexts. Aran is now a palimpsest buried almost 'Pompeii-deep in interpretations' (Robinson 1992b, xvii). Yet, surprisingly, comparatively little of the rich Aran canon engages directly with Irish traditional music or, indeed, with any genre of music. In fact, music has been marginalised with the Aran canon. As a result, the music of Aran has also been marginalised within the wider contexts of Irish traditional music and Ireland. This is largely because of Aran's island location and because the Aran canon is authored mostly by visitors and not islanders. For Aran islanders, music is an essential element of life, performed and experienced in times of joy and in times of sorrow. Issues of context, perspective, authority and authorship are, therefore, key to understanding representations of music in Aran. Addressing these issues, this dissertation will focus on music collectors, who play such a vital part in creating the canons by which we often measure the musics of the past and of the present. It will question what inspired, motivated, influenced and challenged four visiting collectors and one local collector of music in Aran, and it will query their methods of representing traditional music. It will bring a critical eye to these representations of traditional music and to the processes of selection, collection and publication behind them. It will shed new light on the parts that performers, collectors and publishers play in making Irish traditional music such an evocative and pervasive element of Irish culture. Ultimately, it will begin a process of redressing the marginalisation of the music of Aran, and of bringing the music of Aran to a new audience.

Download and read online ebook The Ballad Collectors of North America write by Scott B. Spencer. This book was released on 2012. The Ballad Collectors of North America available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Much has been written about the songs gathered in North America in the first half of the 20th century. However, there is scant information on those individuals responsible for gathering these songs. The Ballad Collectors of North America: How Gathering Folksongs Transformed Academic Thought and American Identity fills this gap, documenting the efforts of those who transcribed and recorded North American folk songs. Both biographical and topical, this book chronicles not only the most influential of these "song catchers" but also examines the main schools of thought on the collection process, the leading proponents of those schools, and the projects that they shaped. Contributors also consider the role of technology--especially the phonograph--in the collection efforts. Chapters organized by region cover such areas as Appalachia, the West, and Canada, while others devoted to specialized topics from the cowboy tune and occupational song to the commercialization of folk music through song collections and anthologies. Ballad Collectors investigates the larger role of the ballad in the development of American identity, from the national appreciation of cowboy songs in popular culture to the use of Appalachian song forms in radio broadcasts to the role of dustbowl ballads in the urban folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Finally, this collection assesses the changing role of songs and song texts in the academic fields of folklore, anthropology, musicology, and ethnomusicology. Scholars and students of American cultural and social history, as well as fans of North American folk and popular music, will find The Ballad Collectors of North America a fascinating story of how the American folk tradition gained greater visibility, fueling the revolutions that would follow in the writing and performance of American music.
