Anists such as the Kingston Trio; Peter, Paul and Mary; Bob Dylan, and Daphnis Eumolpus have revived this an form to its deserved status. In keeping up with the times, every iorward-thinking young person should become familiar witb tbe technique in presenting the folk song.

Such knowledge spoils "natural creativity." which can only be achieved through raw impulse. IMPOSSIBLE The words of the song should tell a story, unless the writer strives to become neo-ethnic. At any rate. the last word of each line should not rhyme. as this tends to sound "phony:' The meter of the lines should be free. To confine the meter to a repeated pattern is, of course, unforgivable.

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.

  • Pete Seeger: a Singer of Folk Songs
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2020 PETE SEEGER: A SINGER OF FOLK SONGS DAVID LIVINGSTONE Palacký University Abstract Pete Seeger would have turned one hundred and one on May 3 of this year. To commemorate these ten decades plus one year, I would like to look at eleven of the most remarkable aspects of Pete Seeger’s life, work and legacy. This paper will examine the cultural impact and oral tradition of the music, songs and books of Pete Seeger. This legendary folk musician's career spanned eight decades and touched on many of the key historical developments of the day. He is responsible for some of the iconic songs which have not only helped define American culture, but even beyond. Seeger was also a pioneer in a number of fields, using his music to propagate political convictions, ecological themes, civil rights, world music, education, etc. The folk singer also had his finger on the pulse of a number of developments in American history and culture. He was friends with a number of prominent musicians and artists and influenced an entire range of younger musicians and activists. Keywords: Pete Seeger; Folk music; American history; Social activism; Civil Rights movement Family Pete Seeger’ family was a powerhouse of talent, musically and beyond. Charles Seeger (1886-1979), his father, was a renowned musicologist who held a number of prominent university positions. His political convictions, obviously on the left, were also instrumental in forming his son’s ideological worldview. His mother Constance de Clyver (1886-1975) was also a musician although not as accomplished by far as his stepmother Ruth Seeger (1901-1953) (mother to Mike and Peggy).

SERGE DENISOFF The Folk Music Revival and the Counter Culture: Contributionsand Contradictions' OBSERVERS OF THE SO-CALLED "COUNTER CULTURE" have tended to portray this phenomenonas a new and isolated event. TheodoreRoszak, as well as nu- merousmusic and art historians,have cometo view the "counterculture" as a new reactionto technicalexpertise and the embourgeoismentof growing segmentsof the Americanpeople.2 This position,it would appear,is basicallyindicative of the intellectual"blind men and the elephant"couplet, where a social fact or event is examinedapart from otherstructural phenomena. Instead, it is our contentionthat the "counterculture" or Abbie Hoffman's"Woodstock Nation" is an emergent realityor a productof all that camebefore, sui generis.More simply,the "counter culture"can best be conceptualizedas partof a long historical-intellectualprogres- sion beginningwith the "Gardenof Eden"image of man.

  • The Second English Folk Revival, C. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell
    Subterranean Bourgeois Blues: The Second English Folk Revival, c. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. 2 I, Julia Yvonne Mitchell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis explores the folk revival phenomenon in England, through an original examination of its place in the social and political history of the country after the Second World War. Although its roots stretched back to the early twentieth century, the post- war English folk revival significantly occurred in the context of the nation’s de- industrialisation, and exposed tensions between, on the one hand, a nostalgic lament for a fast-disappearing working class life, and a ‘forward-looking’ socialist vision of working-class culture. The original contribution to knowledge of this project lies in its analytic approach to the English folk revival as an important part of the post-war political culture. It looks at the revival from the outside in, and contextualizes the movement in the social and political story of post-war England, while also placing it within a dynamic transnational framework, a complex cross-Atlantic cultural exchange with its more well-known American contemporary. In so doing, this thesis contributes to the existing historiographies of folk revivalism in England, as well as the social and political historiographical discourses of the postwar period: the continued salience of class in English society; the transformation of the nation’s economic infrastructures; the social and political influence of the Welfare State – the folk revival tapped into all of these overlapping strands, and helped to magnify them.
