But when I started to do some research on this band, I noticed that not much material seemed to be available. The band is no longer active, released one record only, and did not gain too much public attention outside the northwest of the U.S.A. To my knowledge, there is no account of them in music literature. Information on them is mainly to be found on the Internet (in particular, Zabeˇ i Babe's website [4]), and since the Internet is such a short-lived and elusive medium, I decided to use the opportunity of writing this paper to collect and document the sparsely scattered information that I found and to conserve the texts in written form, hopefully contributing to preventing Zabeˇ i Babe's work from fading into oblivion too soon. Also, I contacted Tim Eriksen and Donna Kwon1 (two former members of Zabeˇ i Babe), in order to find out a little more about the group's history. They were kind enough to take the time and answer many of my questions, and so I had the chance to conduct a little interview via e-mail with them. In Section2, I want to outline the background and history of the artists involved in the recording of Sjaj Mjeseˇce. Section3 is the main part of this paper, the one I originally had in mind writing. In it, I analytically examine some of the features of the song. In Subsection 3.7, for reference, I am summing up the data relevant to Sjaj Mjeseˇce in list/tabular form. In the appendix, Section4, I have included the transcriptions I have made from the recording and which I used as a basis for the musical analysis. 2 The Artists Two bands collaborated for the recording of the album Drumovi (1997), on which Sjaj Mjeseˇce was released: Zabeˇ i Babe (from the U.S.A.) and the Ansambl Teodosijevski 2 (from Macedonia). These two groups are coming form fairly different backgrounds, met by chance, and have worked together this one time only. 1At this point, I would like to express my great gratitude to them for their open-hearted and encouraging helpfulness. 2A few different spellings of this name can be found, e.g. Ansambl Teodosievski. Timon Thalwitzer: Zabeˇ i Babe and Sjaj Mjeseˇce 4 2.1 Zabeˇ i Babe Zabeˇ i Babe was \[f]ormed in 1991 by Bosnian ethnomusicologist Mirjana Lausevic and multi-genre performer Tim Eriksen (the band Cordelia's Dad, the film Cold Mountain) [18]." They were last active in 2000 [17]. During that period (1991{2000), the band featured a few different lineups. The most notable activities of the group were the following: Live Performances According to Donna Kwon (another member of the band), \[t]he concerts were mostly on the East Coast of the US", and the group \played anywhere from 1-7 shows per year while [they] were active". She also sent me a list of some of the band's bigger shows [24]: • apr 2000 Tufts University, Hillel Center, Boston, MA • aug 1999 Harvard University, Kosovo Benefit, Sanders Theatre, Boston, MA • may 1999 Harvard University, Sanders Theatre, Boston, MA • oct 1998 Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH • sept 1998 Balch Institute, Philadelphia, PA • sept 1998 Amherst College, Amherst, MA • jul 1997 Trinity College, Hartford, CT • oct 1995 Colgate University, Hamilton, NY • oct 1995 Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT Dona Kwon told me that the concerts typically consisted of two sets with different types of songs: \There was usually an a capella set of more traditional pieces and a electric set with the band. Many of the a capella songs were for three female voices, although there were several male and female solos and other ensemble vocal songs [24]." Recording The band recorded one album, called Drumovi, together with the Ansambl Teodosijevski, in 1997. Television Program Zabeˇ i Babe was featured in an episode of the PBS3 series Exploring worlds of music, which \was a pretty big deal|it aired on our [the U.S., remark] public television quite a bit [24]." I suppose that this is what exposed the music of Zabeˇ i Babe to the greatest number of recipients. 3Public Broadcasting Service: a \private, nonprofit corporation, founded in 1969, whose members are America's public TV stations." [7] Timon Thalwitzer: Zabeˇ i Babe and Sjaj Mjeseˇce 5 The band came from an academic context. The listing above already indi- cates that many of the concerts were held at universities, and|as Donna Kwon told me|the group's members knew each other from a university pro- gram: Basically, most of the musicians were linked through the Wes- leyan University world music program (Tim [Eriksen], Sarah, Inge, Donna [Kwon], Minja [Lauˇsevi´c],Michael [Veal], Tristra [Newyear] - undergrad) or were friends of people (Rani [Arbo], Peter [Irvine]) in the program. [24] Apart from the last two, these were all ethnomusicologists. I asked Donna Kwon whether she thinks that it had any impact on the music of Zabeˇ i Babe that so may of its members were ethnomusicologists. Here is what she answered: Yes, I think so. Many of our shows were academic in nature and the fact that we had those connections probably helped. On the other hand, if [we] had nothing else to do but just perform, maybe we would have been more active because most of us were trying to juggle multiple projects at one time. [24] On the official homepage of Zabeˇ i Babe [4], as well as on the band's MySpace- webpage [8], one can read the following text: ˇzabe i babe is an exuberant and eclectic band. Their style is all their own, but they love, and are influenced by, Bosnian tradi- tional and popular music. [. ] Formed by MINJA LAUSEVIC, zabe i babe debuted at a Yale University symposium on music and politics in Eastern Europe. Since then, zabe i babe has been well received by audiences at festivals, clubs and Universities such as Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Harvard, the Charter Oak Cultural Cen- ter, and the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. In the booklet to the CD Drumovi, the band is described by Mirjana Lauˇsevi´c as follows: Zabeˇ i Babe (literally meaning \frogs and grandmothers") is the Serbo-Croation equivalent of the phrase \apples and oranges". We chose the name to reflect the eclecticism which has been a trademark of the band since it was formed in 1991. Most of our songs are drawn from Bosnian traditional and popular sources, but over time we have developed our own style, embracing all our Timon Thalwitzer: Zabeˇ i Babe and Sjaj Mjeseˇce 6 various musical and cultural backgrounds. When all is said and done, the band is probably more American than anything else. [25] Now I want to introduce the members of Zabeˇ i Babe, who were involved in the recording of Sjaj Mjeseˇce in a little more detail. Thereafter, I will also briefly say something about the remaining members, who were (at least at some stage) part of the band. 2.1.1 Tim Eriksen (vocals, electric guitar) The internationally probably best-known member of Zabeˇ i Babe is Tim Erik- sen. According to the Wikipedia-page on him, \Tim Eriksen is an American musician, musicologist, and professor. He is the leader of the band Cordelia's Dad, a solo artist, and was a performer and consultant for the award-winning soundtrack of the film Cold Mountain. [10]" The following, “official” text is provided on Tim Eriksen's MySpace-Webpage: Fans of singer and multi-instrumentalist Tim Eriksen (Cordelia's Dad, "Cold Mountain" soundtrack) know him for his hair-raising voice and intense renditions of ancient American songs. Tim's hardcore Americana sound is a tightrope walk balancing tradi- tion and innovation, as befits someone who has shared the stage with both Doc Watson and Kurt Cobain, and recorded with both Ralph Stanley and Jack White.

    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: THE PERFORMANCE OF HISTORY: MOTIVATIONS FOR REVIVALIST PARTICIPATION IN SACRED HARP OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AREA Brigita Lee Sebald, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology Sacred Harp performance exists in the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland, Virginia and southern Pennsylvania primarily inside a revivalist setting of folklore societies. Singers identify both the musical sound and the community of singe rs as their primary motivation for participating in Sacred Harp. Many singers are originally attracted to it because of its harmonies and structure and explore new repertoire through the use of recordings and attendance at conventions. The convention sys tem further enables a community with local, regional, and national levels, which then helps deepen commitment to Sacred Harp performance. Finally, singers interact with historical practices through performance, which results in a transformation and rejuve nation both of the singer and of Sacred Harp itself.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 © Copyright by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia by Alex Warner Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Steven J. Loza, Chair Drawing from anthropological fieldwork in three jazz clubs, this dissertation explores the global scale of contemporary jazz practice through an examination of the communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, California; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia. These spaces, which bear striking similarities to one another both in terms of architectural aesthetics and community practices despite the vast distance between them, are investigated as instantiations of jazz space informed by logics of jazz listening, and as sites of jazz practice—a process that I call jazz anthropology. It argues that to understand why jazz practices continue to manifest anywhere, we must understand what they mean to people elsewhere—that is, beyond the music’s geographical centers of production on the U.S. East Coast. By attending to these peripheries, we can hear the music as a manifestation of jazz consciousness, as tendrils of black radical modes of thinking transposed to far-flung geographies—even ones that very few black people inhabit. To situate these practices in a longer genealogical timespan, the dissertation also includes brief historical ii sketches of jazz practice in each of the three locations in 1917, 1959, and 1990, demonstrating the long local histories that inform the music in each locale.

STECKER A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 A. Mitchell V. Stecker ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many individuals and groups whose support has facilitated the undertaking and completion of this document. First, I sincerely thank Dr. Laura Ellis and Dr. Jennifer Thomas for their time and energy spent not only on my thesis committee, but for all they both have invested in me over the better part of the past decade. I also wish to express my gratitude to the individuals and groups who gave of their time in answering questionnaires, giving interviews, and having informal conversations about this fascinating musical phenomenon, including the St. Louis Sacred Harp Singers, Professor Stephen A. Marini, and Micah Walter. I thank my parents for their unflagging support of my educational endeavors for the entirety of my life, and Sarah, whose love, encouragement, and strength are continual sources of inspiration. And finally, I would like to thank my singing friends everywhere, without the friendship and hospitality of whom I likely never would have discovered and been taken by this incredible music. How sweet the hours have passed away/Since we have met to sing and pray; How loath we are to leave the place/Where Jesus shows His smiling face. Oh could I stay with friends so kind,/How would it cheer my drooping mind! But duty makes me understand/That we must take the parting hand.

  • While Mighty Thunders Roll: Popular Artists Sing the Shakers the Artists
    While Mighty Thunders Roll: Popular Artists Sing the Shakers The Artists Little Nora Brown, traditional folk singer, performs “The Saviour’s Watchword” (written in 1849 by Shakers at Canterbury, New Hampshire) and “Little Children” (1857, Pleasant Hill, Kentucky). Says the artist: “There’s ballads and old-time music, and I do that a lot, but I think, singing a cappella, it’s more pure, just to hear the sound coming from the body. And with the Shaker songs the words are deep. Sort of like poetry.” Brown, of Brooklyn, New York, plays banjo, ukulele, and accordion. She started learning ukulele at age six from the late Shlomo Pestcoe. Now thirteen, Brown is mentored by many of her favorite old-time musicians, including Alice Gerrard, John Cohen, Clifton Hicks, KC Groves, Courtney Hartman, Anna Roberts-Gevalt, Mac Traynham, John Haywood, Ali Dineen, and Brett Ratliff. She won first place in youth banjo in 2017 and 2018 at the Clifftop Appalachian String Band Music Festival in West Virginia. She has a heavy focus and interest in eastern Kentucky overhand picking and unaccompanied ballads. “Little Nora Brown has a host of roots music legends pouring out of her fingertips and through her lips.” — The Bluegrass Situation Tim Eriksen, folk and punk rock singer, performs “Farewell Earthly Joys” (1855, Canterbury, New Hampshire) and “Father James’ Song” (1783, Harvard, Massachusetts). Says the artist: “The tune of ‘Farewell Earthly Joys,’ that sense of longing, and everything about it makes it one of my favorites. That feeling of looking for something deeper, something more lasting, is certainly not out of step with contemporary thought.” Eriksen, of Amherst, Massachusetts is an American musician, musicologist, and professor.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Mark Weiss ‐ 845 528‐8569 (H) or 646 567‐6185 (C) or [email protected] On Friday, May 13, Tompkins Corners Cultural Center will present Sacred Harp Singing with Tim Eriksen, an evening of community singing and a performance by the Tim Eriksen Trio. Mr. Eriksen will be at the Putnam Valley High School in the afternoon at 1 pm to lead a singing session with students; he will then hold a Sacred Harp Singing Workshop from 5 to 6 pm at Tompkins Corners followed by an evening performance at 7:30. Sacred Harp Shape Note singing is non‐denominational American choral music from the 19th century. This way of singing started in New England and spread through the South. It was communicated through songbooks at community gatherings. It is a powerful musical experience that emphasizes participation, and the workshop that will be held prior to the concert will encourage members of the community to learn and be part of this unique musical event. This program is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council's Arts Link Grant Program, which is funded with public funds through the NYS Council on the Arts with support from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature and with public funds from Putnam County. The presentation promises to be a remarkable opportunity to join with the text, the sound, the style and the feel of special American music. We invite the public to join a musical happening that is unlike anything else. Reading music is not required. There is a special “shape note” system, in which the sounds of fa sol la are represented as squares, triangles and circles that can be applied to any singing key.
