Excellent "corrected" KWJG5tsuI editionBy J. R. BrownChild's "English and Scottish Popular Ballads" is THE M3bkUU5Yw sourcebook for anyone interested in the traditional ballads of the British Isles, iGmA1vIMo and also invaluable to all aficionados of European folklore and folksong in gfPsfjA3w general. For those not up on their terminology, a ballad is a folksong with a kF5zpAkfS plot, and Child's collection covers everything from foul murders to star-crossed vIZARObwI lovers to Robin Hood, in five volumes.I am extremely happy that someone has ObBtBRj1v finally issued an edition incorporating the various addenda and corrections that uL7kEYlKV Child made before his death. There is nothing here that Child did not write, so ZtO3hRPBj if you are looking for additional scholarship or commentary you will be sK2ucgFK4 disappointed; but the Loomis House edition vastly improves over the Dover tM2LJk6P5 facsimiles in completeness and convenience. Additional variants, comments and bgoCI04Of even some tunes (the one big omission in the original) are placed conveniently 8Jms2TZ2e near the main text of each category rather than buried in appendices (most of XQVnqmLPF which aren't included in the Dover editions at all). It's well worth the few extra dollars over the Dover books.My one quibble is that they do not reproduce some of the typographical distinctions that Child occasionally used to indicate different features of a text, but this is overshadowed by all the good points of this edition.Overall this is a wonderful and affordable edition; I fervently hope that all five volumes are issued as planned (it's been almost a year since Volume 3 came out...). I have no idea why makes these books so hard to find on their site: fix this, guys!In summary: Buy this book. Now if someone would only reprint Bertrand Bronson's "The Singing Tradition of Child's Popular Ballads" as well....0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One to get if you like ballads!By TheoHas a lot of good ballads in here (54 through 113), like Sweet William's Ghost and the Selkie of Sule Skerry. I like the way the book is formatted, with info about the song's origins and the descriptions of variations from different countries are really interesting.That said I did get the paperback, so no sheet music. But that's something you can usually find around the internet.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully faithful to the originalBy Bard of the BrandywineMany years ago (pre- Books!) when I recorded, "Bard of the Brandywine" it was impossible to find Vol. II of the F.J. Child's collection of the English Scottish ballads as it contained the studies on the most popular, Matty Groves and Barbara Allen.So I was ecstatic to find Vol.II published independently of the orignal five-volume collection and to complete my Dover publication set of this seminal study.THANK YOU!Sally Jane Denk-HoeyBard of the Brandywine First published 1883-1898, Professor Child's monumental work on the ballad tradition of England and Scotland stands as a foundation document for all subsequent ballad scholarship and for trends such as the twentieth century folk revival. The English and Scottish Popular Ballads presents 305 distinct ballads, -- Volume I contains 1-53 -- most with multiple variants, with commentary that traces the origins of the ballad stories through the literature and traditions of much of the western world.

It might apply to the weight of your take on the blues, as with Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. It might mean the originality of Jethro Tull or King Crimson. It might equally apply to an individual- to Eric Clapton, for example, The Beatles are the saints of the 1960s, and George Harrison an especially "heavy person". This year, heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton meet in Humble Pie. Crosby, Stills and Nash admit a new member, Neil Young. Supergroups, or more informal supersessions, serve as musical summit meetings for those who are reluctant to have theirwork tied down by the now antiquated notion of the "group". Trouble of one kind or another this year awaits the leading examples of this classic formation. Our cover stars The Rolling Stones this year part company with founder member Brian Jones. The Beatles, too, are changing - how, John Lennon wonders, can the group hope to contain three contributing writers? The Beatles diversification has become problematic.

Desire for Perpetuation: Fairy Writing and Re-creation of National Identity in the Narratives of Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang Yuki Yoshino A Thesis Submitted to The University of Edinburgh for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Literature 2013 Abstract This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang.

  • Introduction
    Introduction anne grImes had a gift for collecting songs—partly because she knew how and where to find them. “Everybody thinks you find folk music in the hills; you don’t . it’s in people’s heads,” she told a reporter for the Columbus Citizen- Journal in 1971 before performing at Governor John Gilligan’s Inau- gural Gala at the Ohio Theater in Columbus, Ohio. Born into a pio- neer Ohio family in which music had been important over the gen- erations, Anne Grimes felt a kin- ship with the traditional singers she discovered. As she told the reporter: “In the folk music field, the technical term is ‘informants’; I prefer to think of the people as contributors.” During the height of her col- lecting and performing career in the 1950s and early 1960s, Anne Grimes sang several times at the The cover of the Columbus Dispatch Sunday Magazine, annual National Folk Festival February 17, 1952: Anne Grimes and recorded on Folkways. She with her five children—Mindy also became an expert in the lore (2), Mary (4), Jennifer (6), Sara and techniques of the plucked (10), and Steve (12)—in front or lap dulcimer (also referred to of the Jonathan Alder cabin as the mountain or Appalachian west of Columbus. Photo by Dan F. Prugh courtesy of the dulcimer), and the Anne Grimes Columbus Dispatch collection of these rare folk in- struments—now housed at the Smithsonian Institution—ranks among the nation’s finest. But much of her time and energy was devoted to collecting hundreds of songs and ballads that she then performed in concert-lectures with the general theme of Ohio history through song.

    Vita-final 4/7/06 4:44 PM Page 52 VITA Francis James Child Brief life of a Victorian enthusiast: 1825-1896 by john burgess rancis james child, a.b. 1846, was a model of nineteenth- and their American and Canadian variants. That demanded pa- century academic achievement. Named Harvard’s Boylston tience in tracking manuscripts across continents, judgment in in- professor of rhetoric and oratory at 26, he was one of his terpreting and clarifying textual discrepancies, and persistence in Fcentury’s leading Chaucer scholars and received honorary degrees dealing with collectors ranging from the high-born Lord Rose- from his alma mater, Columbia, and Göttingen. His close friends bery to the eccentric Devon clergyman Sabine Baring-Gould. included Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry and William James, and In all, Child collected 305 ballads, ultimately published in five Charles Eliot Norton. Yet today he is better remembered than volumes (1882-98), including “Lord Randall,” “Sir Patrick Spens,” many distinguished colleagues because, at the height of his career, and a good three dozen variations on the adventures of Robin he decided to apply a gift for scholarship honed on the study of Hood. Some, like “Barbara Allen,” had been in print for generations traditional literature to the oral traditions of the folk ballad. and were sung from London to Appalachia. Others, like “Thomas That a sailmaker’s son achieved eminence of any sort was large- the Rhymer” or “Tam Lin,” evoke a world of magic that survived ly because the Boston of his youth was progressive enough to o≠er outside the written record for centuries.

  • Intermixx Webzine Online Edition
    by Noel Ramos I recently interviewed the lovely Quinn Lemley, a rather unique InterMixx mem- ber in that she performs a hybrid of jazz, cabaret and lounge music. INTERMIXX: Quinn, I am very pleased that you have joined InterMixx and are in- volved in our activities. Do you consider yourself an "indie" artist, and if so, how do you define indie? QUINN: Yes Noel, I am definitely an "Indie," so much of the jazz/cabaret/lounge community is these days with labels pulling back their support in our genre. The great thing about being an "Indie" is that I had the opportunity to create my own vision for each of my recordings. INTERMIXX: In your opinion, what are the main problems concerning indie musicians at this time? QUINN: Financing and Distribution. We are "the engine" for everything. INTERMIXX: Your style of music is still somewhat unique amongst our membership, and I commend you on your DIY attitude. Can you describe what you do for our readers? QUINN: Of course, I am a hybrid of lounge/jazz and caba- ret. Some of my music is a big band feel and others a small four piece combo, it's sultry, sexy, fun music. Sort of a cross between Keeley Smith, Ann-Margret and Julie London. INTERMIXX: Tell us more about your portrayal of Rita Hayworth, and how that came to happen. Was it largely because of your resemblance to the beauty queen? QUINN: You are a doll, yes, I was doing a musical off Broadway and a friend of mine, Preston Ridge saw it, and he said that I should do a musical about the life and music of Rita Hayworth because I resembled her.
