1 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Archives and Special 1 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Archives and Special Collections The Howard T. Glasser Archives of Folk Music and Letter Arts Howard T. Glasser Scottish recordings 1960, 1963 MC 81 Extent: 60 audiocassette recordings and 63 digital audio cassette copies Biographical note: Howard T. Glasser, former professor of Design at UMass Dartmouth (where he taught for 30 years), enjoys an international reputation as a graphic artist and calligrapher. Glasser’s avocation, traditional music, led him to six months of collecting and research in Scotland in summers of 1960 and 1963. His large collection of recordings has been a resource for scholars and performers for many years. In 1961, while teaching at Carnegie Mellon University, he established the University Ceilidh programs at a time when folk music enjoyed a revival in this country. They flourished for seven years, giving several artists important boosts at the start of their careers. In 1968 he introduced the Ceilidh gatherings, concert and radio broadcasts to the University of Rhode Island and in 1971 to SMU (now UMD). He is founding director of the Eisteddfod-Ceilidh programs at SMU, and publisher and designer of the Ceilidh Columns. The Eisteddfod was an annual institution at SMU/UMD for 20 years. Howard T. Glasser is now retired from teaching, but maintains his involvement in folk music circles. Since 2005 the Eisteddfod has taken place in Brooklyn, NY Scope and contents note: digital and analog audiocassette copies of Howard Glasser’s 1960 and 1963 recordings in Scotland. Includes renditions of songs, stories, instrumental pieces, oral interviews and introductory dialogue. The recordings were originally made on reel-to-reel tapes, recorded on location during 2 separate 3 -month journeys through Scotland using HTG’s portable tape recorder. HTG recorded over 200 hours of material. UMass Professor Gary Martin received a grant in 1999 to transfer the reel-to-reel recordings to analog cassettes, and ultimately digital audio cassettes. The collection includes a log of transfers listing the contents of each tape, compiled by Martin. Tapes are numbered CAS 001A-CAS 060B and digital audio tapes are numbered DAT 001-DAT 063.

  • Lyrics + Detailed Song N...Or MMFLBF
    Extended Liner Notes and Lyrics for My Mind From Love Being Free by Lindsay Straw Since so many of these songs were learned primarily from three singers, I feel that it’s worth elaborating a bit on each. Lizzie Higgins & Jeannie Robertson: Nearly half come from the Scottish musical dynasty of Jeannie Robertson and Lizzie Higgins: “Far Over the Forth,” “Lord Lovat,” “When I Was Not But Sweet Sixteen,” and “Lovely Molly.” Jeannie and Lizzie’s powerful, emotional singing styles and repertoire continue to move me, years after stumbling upon them in the Voice of the People collections. Jeannie Robertson was a major figure in the British folk revival. She and her family were Travellers in Aberdeenshire, and were bearers of a rich musical history. Her daughter Lizzie reluctantly performed and recorded Jeannie’s songs and carried on her legacy, as did many other singers who learned from her over the years. Musical Traditions’ In Memory of Lizzie Higgins and James Porter & Herschel Gower’s Jeannie Robertson: Emergent Singer, Transformative Voice, along with the Mainly Norfolk website, have been invaluable resources for further exploring both the songs and singers. Rita Gallagher: Several songs ­ “The Bonny Light Horseman,” “The Mermaid,” and “Lurgy Stream” ­ were learned from Rita Gallagher’s albums. Rita’s gorgeous voice and intricate ornamentation are hugely responsible for my love of old­style Irish singing. Rita is from Donegal, and when she was younger she learned from Paddy Tunney and other members of his family. She has also been kind enough to take the time to answer a nerdy folk singer’s questions via email.

  • Oral Tradition 29.1
    Oral Tradition, 29/1 (2014):47-68 Voices from Kilbarchan: Two versions of “The Cruel Mother” from South-West Scotland, 1825 Flemming G. Andersen Introduction It was not until the early decades of the nineteenth century that a concern for preserving variants of the same ballad was really taken seriously by collectors. Prior to this ballad editors had been content with documenting single illustrations of ballad types in their collections; that is, they gave only one version (and often a “conflated” or “amended” one at that), such as for instance Thomas Percy’s Reliques of Ancient English Poetry from 1765 and Walter Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border from 1802. But with “the antiquarian’s quest for authenticity” (McAulay 2013:5) came the growing appreciation of the living ballad tradition and an interest in the singers themselves and their individual interpretations of the traditional material. From this point on attention was also given to different variations of the same ballad story, including documentation (however slight) of the ballads in their natural environment. William Motherwell (1797-1835) was one of the earliest ballad collectors to pursue this line of collecting, and he was very conscious of what this new approach would mean for a better understanding of the nature of an oral tradition. And as has been demonstrated elsewhere, Motherwell’s approach to ballad collecting had an immense impact on later collectors and editors (see also, Andersen 1994 and Brown 1997). In what follows I shall first give an outline of the earliest extensively documented singing community in the Anglo-Scottish ballad tradition, and then present a detailed analysis of two versions of the same ballad story (“The Cruel Mother”) taken down on the same day in 1825 from two singers from the same Scottish village.

  • LAMENT the Fruits of Diverse Languages and Aesthetic Values, These Traditions Are Rooted in Strikingly Different Landscapes
    Traditional Song and Music in Scotland MARGARET BENNETT 77 The traditional songs, poetry, and musiC of Scotland are as easy to recognize as they are difficult to define.

  • Context, Structure, and Meaning in the Scottish Ballad
    Singing Families of Aberdeenshire: Context, Structure, and Meaning in the Scottish Ballad Thomas A. McKEAN The North-East of Scotland is sometimes called “the cold shoulder of Scotland”, with the cold winds coming off the surrounding North Sea. Cold and windy it may be, but it is also home to one of the most remarkable singing traditions in the world: the classic ballad tradition. In Francis James Child’s The English and Scottish Popular Ballads fully two-thirds of the primary texts come from Aberdeenshire. １） The ballad in Scottish tradition is a song that tells a story, a compact narrative communicating history, experience, and happenstance along with the human emotional responses to them. The songs contain some of the most distilled and powerful poetic language to be found anywhere, in the service of dramatic, and sometimes horrifying plots. Before reflecting on the form and structure of the Scottish ballad, I want to focus on the people who sing. There has been extensive research on ballad texts, their background history, and the melodies to which they were sung, but comparatively little attention spent on who sings, why they sing, what it means to them, and how the songs function in their lives. The following may be considered a brief introduction to four prominent Scottish Traveller families, people for whom song is a part of daily life, a part of regular human communication, rather than for performance on a stage. On the way, we will encounter their society and consider their singing style. Families are the basic unit of folk song.

    Tradition label Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Tradition Label Discography The Tradition Label was established in New York City in 1956 by Pat Clancy (of the Clancy Brothers) and Diane Hamilton. The label recorded folk and blues music. The label was independent and active from 1956 until about 1961. Kenny Goldstein was the producer for the label during the early years. During 1960 and 1961, Charlie Rothschild took over the business side of the company. Clancy sold the company to Bernard Solomon at Everest Records in 1966. Everest started issuing albums on the label in 1967 and continued until 1974 using recordings from the original Tradition label and Vee Jay/Horizon.
