  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Support for the 2017 Season of the Festival Theatre Is
    SUPPORT FOR THE 2017 SEASON OF THE FESTIVAL THEATRE IS GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY DANIEL BERNSTEIN & CLAIRE FOERSTER PRODUCTION SUPPORT IS GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY BARBARA & JOHN SCHUBERT 1 “WHAT’S IN A NAME?” In 2017 we celebrate both Canada’s 150th birthday and our 65th Festival season – a season that explores identity. Both personal and collective, identity can lend comfort or give pain. It can be used, as by Joseph Surface and Tartuffe, as a mask to deceive others – or, unconsciously, as by Timon, to deceive ourselves. But false identity, like Viola’s gender deception, can also lead to happy discoveries. Identity can both unite and divide. How can I be myself yet belong to a greater whole? Am I Romeo first? Or am I first a Montague? In an age of anxiety over immigration, globalization and Brexit, is identity at odds with diversity? In 1914, clinging to a particular definition of Canadian identity, our country betrayed the Sikh passengers of the Komagata Maru – most of whom had served in the British Army and were thus entitled to residency here – by denying them entry. The Breathing Hole and The Madwoman of Chaillot suggest a profound question: if our sense of identity can stretch to encompass not only other peoples but future generations and perhaps even the land itself, might we discover a deeper sense of what it means to be Canadian? One, perhaps, informed by the spirit of the original and sovereign caretakers of this land: our First Nations. Finally, as we celebrate our national identity, we might do well to remember that, no matter how we name ourselves, actions, not words, will define us.
