LEARNING LINEAGE AND THE PROBLEM OF AUTHENTICITY IN OZARK FOLK MUSIC A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by KEVIN L. THARP May 2020 Copyright Kevin L. Tharp 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Thorough examination of the existing research and the content of ballad and folk song collections reveals a lack of information regarding the methods by which folk musicians learn the music they perform. The centuries-old practice of folk song and ballad performance is well- documented. Many Child ballads and other folk songs have been passed down through the generations. Oral tradition is the principal method of transmission in Ozark folk music. The variants this method produces are considered evidence of authenticity. Although alteration is a distinguishing characteristic of songs passed down in the oral tradition, many ballad variants have persisted in the folk record for great lengths of time without being altered beyond recognition.

Hilty LEADER: STEVE HILTY LIST COMPILED BY: STEVE HILTY VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM MISSOURI & ARKANSAS THE OZARKS & TALLGRASS PRAIRIES A Natural History Odyssey May 4–13, 2018 By Steve Hilty Our visit to Prairie State Park in western Missouri started with “…a Barred Owl perched in the open on an electric wire at dawn.” I wrote that sentence last year. But exactly the same thing happened again this year. In early morning light, about 0610 a.m., we watched this same owl (presumably) hunting, staring downward intently, once dropping to the ground, and then moving to a slightly different location on the wire to continue staring down at the grass in the ditch! A little background regarding the spring weather this year adds some perspective to what follows. Much of south Missouri-northern Arkansas experienced record-setting cold temperatures in April, but near normal rainfall. However, the rains abruptly stopped at the beginning of our trip, and suddenly we were experiencing near record high temperatures— close to 90F some days. With clear skies and high temperatures, migratory birds moved northward quickly. Prairie State Park teemed with birds—migrating Eastern Kingbirds, Summer Tanagers, Baltimore Orioles, and many warblers. Resident breeders such as Dickcissels, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, Brown Thrashers, Bell’s Vireos, and other prairie birds were much in evidence. We coaxed a curious little Henslow’s Sparrow into view and even found a little Sedge Wren in the prairie.
