Folk Music in Britain, Ireland and the USA (Music Matters),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Provides a definition and a history of folk music, and describes how this music form has been used in celebration of the changing seasons and as a medium for protest From School Library Journal Approaching his topic from a distinctly British viewpoint, Griffin defines folk music as the music of a community, whether geographic or political, performed for and by its members, and makes a distinction between true folk music and popular music performed in folk style. He concentrates on the former, tracing its history from the times of the Celtic tribes through the 20th century. Griffin finds folk music's roots in the daily lives and discontent of common people, such as old Irish "treason songs" and the music of pagan, seasonal celebrations and its descendants. A section on American folk music includes discussion of miners' songs, cowboy music, railroad and hobo songs, etc. Griffin's writing requires some concentration as he blends history, interpretation, and lyrics, freely mixing in archaic terms. Unfamiliar words and names are defined in footnotes at the bottom of each page. Libraries with Melvin Berger's The Story of Folk Music (Phillips, 1976) already have a more readable book with an American focus and more on folk instruments, modern developments, and black music, but it needs updating. Griffin's book offers more detail in areas that are not as well covered by Berger. Jeffrey A. French, Cleveland HeightsUniv . Heights Public LibraryCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
