September 2020 Dance Association Meán Fómhair Irish Music & September 2020 Dance Association Meán Fómhair The mission of the Irish Music and Dance Association is to support and promote Irish music, dance, and other cultural traditions to insure their continuation. Young Musician Takes on New Challenges By Jan Casey Musician John Anderson, age 10, of Roseville, first began studying Irish music at the Center for Irish Music by studying bodhrán with his grandpa. It was a great way for the two of them to spend time together doing something new and fun. John tells us that he enjoys playing Irish music “because I really like how the music sounds” as well as being “a great way to connect with the community and my Irish heritage.” John also studies English concertina and wants to learn the Anglo concertina. John’s recommender, his bodhrán teacher Todd Menton, tells us that John’s “grasp of the nuances of rhythm and melody is excellent and, not for nothing, he manifests a raucous spirit, frequently racing ahead of me in trying new ornaments and patterns on the bodhrán.” Todd also tells us that John has a curious and eager attitude in playing and the “raucous part comes out in his music.” John has enjoyed playing bodhrán at a variety of events, including collaborating with his sister Ginger (a 2018 IMDA Educational Grant recipient) for the Rince na Chroi ‘From the Stage to your Heart’ show and with his grandpa for the Celtic Junction’s Holiday Hooley. John has also competed in the Midwest Fleadh Cheoil as well as attending the Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann in Drogheda last year. John attended Scoil Eigse there studying bodhrán, which gave him the opportunity to learn different styles of bodhrán as well as learning to play spoons and bones. John had planned to complete in this year’s Midwest Fleadh, which was unfortunately cancelled. John will use his IMDA Educational Grant for the purchase of an Anglo concertina. John tells us that he is “interested in learning the anglo concertina because it is better for playing more Irish tunes and I would like to learn how to play both types of concertina.” The Irish Music and Dance Association is delighted to help this dedicated musician continue to expand his skills and enjoyment of the music. Jan Casey serves on the IMDA board and coordinates the IMDA Educational Grant Program. www.IMDA-MN.org Irish Music & 2 Dance Association The IMDA Board is: President: Julia Rogers Vice President: Jan Casey Treasurer: Maureen Engelhardt Secretary: Cindy Ladany Board Members: Kathie Luby Amber Ladany Aja Beers Gemma Forbush Editor: Kathie Luby IMDA Board Meetings are open to the membership.

Twice Banjaxed is Derek Anderson (banjo) and Morien McBurnie (banjo, guitar). This duo is forever stretching, exploring, pushing, playing, and learning. These young musicians play classic Irish trad and contemporary tunes with a twist. www.IMDA-MN.org Irish Music & 3 Dance Association Friday, September 18 continued…. Dean Magraw in Concert @ 5:30 - 6:30 pm. $15 Dean Magraw has fine-tuned his passionate “Heavy Meadow” approach to music from years of performing and recording with some of the finest musi- cians in North America, Europe, and Japan. For this concert, Dean will be joined by one of those - special guest Dáithí Sproule. Todd Menton in Concert @ 7:00 - 8:00 pm. $15 Todd’s calling card is his wry, edgy performing style, focusing on warm, vibrant vocals and sharp playing on guitar, bouzouki, bodhrán, and harmonica. Folks can ex- pect all the drama and hilarity of the traditional songs and tunes, and the darkly hu- morous word-play of his original songs, delivered with wit and crackling energy. SATURDAY, September 19 Liam Slattery & David Ochs in Concert @ 12:30 - 1:30 pm. $10 This wildly creative duo on fiddle and guitar is a pair that flew the Celtic Junc- tion / Center for Irish Music / O’Shea Irish Dance nest a few years ago. In that time, they have spread their wings traveling the world, performing, dancing, fiddling, and more. They are back in Minnesota to share some original compositions and free- wheeling improvisations with us. Dakota Dave Hull in Concert @ 2:00 - 3:00 pm. $15 Dakota Dave is a restlessly curious, adventurous traveler along the broad highway of America’s music. In his playing the masters speak, but in a vocabulary that is Dave’s alone: alternatively mirthful and moving, always melodic. Dennis Curley & The Explainers @ 3:30 - 4:30 pm. $15 The Explainers are Dennis Curley, Katy Hays, Tony Wirth, Leo Lenander and Matthew Zimmerman. They are best known for their engaging and danceable pop, rock and country cover songs. www.IMDA-MN.org Irish Music & 4 Dance Association Saturday, September 29 continued…. Gary Rue in Concert @ 5:00 - 6:00 pm. $15 Gary Rue’s Music honors the craft of songwriting, reminiscent of the Everly Broth- ers, Roy Orbison and Mose Allison. Influenced by nearly anything and everything musical, but most often by Frederic Chopin, Kurt Weill, The Beatles, Motown, and the poets of Tin Pan Alley and their Brill Building offspring. Wild Colonial Bhoys in Concert @ 7:00 - 9:00 pm. $15 WCB shows are a rollicking good time, the music is tight and the banter is lively. They’ve honed their craft over their fifteen-year career, and their ten albums give them plenty of material to draw on. SUNDAY, September 20 Patsy O’Brien and Dick Hensold in Concert @ 12:30 - 1:30 pm. $15 An hour of traditional Celtic music with unique and innovative arrangements. Patsy O'Brien and Dick Hensold in concert includes a variety of songs from Britain and Ireland accompanied by guitar and Northumbrian smallpipes and a variety of whistles. Taking Flight Collective @ 2:00 - 3:00 pm. $10 Featuring Adrienne O'Shea (vocals, flute), Ian McKenna (accordion), and Joe De Georgeo (fiddle) with guitarist Brian Miller, this performance marks the launch of a 2020 -21 pilot project from the Center for Irish Music called Taking Flight Collective. Dáithí Sproule and Laura MacKenzie in Concert @ 3:30 - 4:30 pm. $15 Songs and Music of Ireland & Scotland, plus original instrumentals featuring master musician Dáithí Sproule on guitar and voice with multi-instrumentalist Laura MacKenzie on flutes, whistles, pipes, concertina, and voice.

The Two Tap Trio is two-time Live Ireland Awards “Best Vocalist of the Year” and flute player Norah Rendell, fiddler Mary Vanorny, and guitarist Brian Miller. Formed in 2007 and based in the Twin Cities, the Two Tap Trio mixes driving fiddle and flute du- ets with Norah’s singing, underpinned by intricate guitar and bouzouki backing. www.IMDA-MN.org Irish Music & 5 Dance Association By Will Kenny The Gaelic Corner In early August, the Irish-language online leath- are a way of expressing "one" of something.

Christmass Message from the President This year the concertina has been celebrating its 150th anniversary. It is one of only two instruments that we have so far managed to invent, the other being the Northumbrian smallpipes, on which so many young people are beginning to be wonderfully proficient. Our instrument was patented in 1829, and had its heyday in the early years of the 20th century, when it could be described as a 'parlour instrument'. These were the times when families made their own music in their own houses and often invited the neighbours in for what was called a 'musical evening'.

You’ll hear a lot at this year’s Gathering about sustainability, applied in many different ways. Attending events like ours and playing in your communities sustains a small piping tradition: • We welcome attendees of all ages who are new to bellows-blown piping. Hopefully this event will inspire you to stick with them, and do your part to sustain the traditional music community in your area in your own unique way! • We welcome those who are taking a risk and trying something new at any age! Whether you already play one type of “alt” pipes, and are giving another type a try, or are push- ing yourself a little outside your comfort zone with new tunes and techniques, you are sustaining the tradition as well.

  • Changes in the Teaching of Folk and Traditional Music: Folkworks and Predecessors
    Changes in the Teaching of Folk and Traditional Music: Folkworks and Predecessors Thesis M. Price Submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD Newcastle University November 2017 i Abstract Formalised folk music education in Britain has received little academic attention, despite having been an integral part of folk music practice since the early 1900s. This thesis explores the major turns, trends and ideological standpoints that have arisen over more than a century of institutionalised folk music pedagogy. Using historical sources, interviews and observation, the thesis examines the impact of the two main periods of folk revival in the UK, examining the underlying beliefs and ideological agendas of influential figures and organisations, and the legacies and challenges they left for later educators in the field. Beginning with the first revival of the early 1900s, the thesis examines how the initial collaboration and later conflict between music teacher and folk song collector Cecil Sharp, and social worker and missionary Mary Neal, laid down the foundations of folk music education that would stand for half a century. A discussion of the inter-war period follows, tracing the impact of wireless broadcasting technology and competitive music festivals, and the possibilities they presented for both music education and folk music practice. The second, post-war revival’s dominance by a radical leftwing political agenda led to profound changes in pedagogical stance; the rejections of prior practice models are examined with particular regard to new approaches to folk music in schools. Finally, the thesis assesses the ways in which Folkworks and their contemporaries in the late 1980s and onward were able to both adapt and improve upon previous approaches.

  • Pdffolio 2019
    Pdffolio 2019 This is a collection of [70] tunes, mostly from old sources and not generally available, together with a few new compositions contributed by different pipers – many of you will know some tunes that aren’t regularly played, but sit well on the Northumbrian pipes. I’ve edited some of the tunes in places. Most of the tunes, but not all, are either Northumbrian, or from Northumbrian sources. I have added some from further afield that sit well on the pipes. There are a few versions from outside the Northumbrian tradition, but of tunes known in Northumberland; conversely there are a few variation sets from Northumberland of tunes from Scotland and Ireland. I have tried to include a lot of variation sets – in different ways, they are central to all the piping traditions of the British Isles. There will be many other tunes, whether old and hidden, or only played a lot in one session, or newly composed, that are worth sharing. Please send me any suggestions – there may well be enough for another of these collections before long. When I was putting this together, one thing that struck me was that so many good tunes turned up so quickly. This project may ultimately develop into another tunebook. I’d like to thank Alan Douglass, Edric Ellis, Iain Gelston, Richard Heard, Rob Say, Matt Seattle, Edmund Spriggs, Wallie Ogilvie, and Graham Wells for suggesting, or letting me use some of these tunes, suggesting where I might find others, and for their help with the notes. I’d particularly like to thank Matt Seattle, whose notes and advice are always helpful, and Richard Heard, for rescuing and sharing the Fenwick manuscript.
