  • Folk Music 1 Folk Music
    Folk music 1 Folk music Folk music Béla Bartók recording Slovak peasant singers in 1908 Traditions List of folk music traditions Musicians List of folk musicians Instruments Folk instruments Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. This music is also referred to as traditional music and, in US, as "roots music". Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two. Traditional folk music Definitions A consistent definition of traditional folk music is elusive. The terms folk music, folk song, and folk dance are comparatively recent expressions. They are extensions of the term folk lore, which was coined

This Business of Global Music Marketing: Global Strat- egies for Maximizing Your Music’s Popularity and Profi ts. New York: Billboard Books, 2007. https://doi.org/10.25101/8.9 The introduction to The Global Music Industry: Three Perspectives points out that many of the books having to do with music on a global scale are “academic books that discuss the relationship between music and politics.” Few titles approach the music industry from a world perspective, and only a handful attempt to parse out the diffi cult relationships that ex- ist between the cultural and political issues in non-Western music and the business of music in those cultures. The challenge, it seems, is to write a book on the global music in- dustry that deals with the micro and the macro; the political, cultural, and geographic; the nuts and bolts of how business is done in every corner of the “known universe” and the vagaries of doing business the way it’s done outside the mainstream “Western” way. It is a daunting task, but luckily not so intimidating that no one is willing to try; two books were released in 2007 that made the attempt. The Global Music Industry: Three Perspectives tries to tackle the whole world and cover the entire global industry (with the exception of Australia…more on that later).

  • Don Mclean / Biography
    Don McLean / Biography Don McLean Don McLean was born on October 2nd 1945 in New Rochelle, NY to Elizabeth and Donald McLean. By the age of five he had developed an interest in all forms of music and would spend hours listening to the radio and his father’s records. Childhood asthma meant that Don missed long periods of school and while he slipped back in his studies, his love of music was allowed to flourish. He would often perform shows for family and friends. As a teenager, he purchased his first guitar (a Harmony F Hole with a sunburst finish) from the House of Music in New Rochelle and took opera lessons paid for by his sister. These lessons combined with many hours in the swimming pool, helped Don to develop breath control, which would later allow him to sing long, continuous phrases, in songs such as “Crying”, without taking a breath. The exercise also meant his asthma improved. In 1961, Don took his only vacation with his father – a trip to Washington D.C. Sadly, a few months later his father died. Don was just 15 years old. Don McLean with his parents www.don-mclean.com Don McLean / Biography By this time, Don's musical focus was on folk thanks, in part, to The Weavers landmark 1955 recording "Live at Carnegie Hall". Don was determined to become a professional musician and singer and, as a 16 year old, he was already making contacts in the business. After managing to get his home number from the telephone directory, Don phoned Erik Darling.
