  • The Timelessness of the King's Busketeers: a Splash Into Sea
    The Timelessness of The King’s Busketeers: A splash into sea shanties Sea Shanties are typically not my preferred listening, but my recent research into the genre as a whole has yielded some fascinating results. Long before TikTok made it trending, The King’s Busketeers – Joshua Gannon-Salomon, Andrew Prete, and Sam Atwood – were continuing the traditions of many sailors before them hundreds of years in the making. The King’s Busketeers are carrying these traditions forward with their traditional, yet updated sound. Joshua provided a bit of additional context for their work: “One thing the sea shanty trend has demonstrated clearly, is that folk music is not a genre but a process. Shantymen in the days of sail were constantly rehashing old songs into new, taking inspiration anywhere a good rhythm for hauling or working the capstan could be found.” Joshua spoke of the interesting time of history we’re in that mirrors the old world into which the shanty genre was born: “Many articles have pointed out interesting parallels between modern shanty fans under pandemic conditions and the confined, monotonous, overworked and precarious lives of the sailors who sang them. We have comforts they never dreamed of, and their work was intensely social rather than isolated, but suddenly many more people feel solidarity with the sailors of old, their exploitation at the hands of captains and empires, and their lust for life in spite of it. If COVID-19 is today’s stormy voyage, then our visions of post-pandemic celebration parallel the sailors’ dreams of the bars and bawdy houses in the next port.” That might be why shanties are having the cultural moment that they are.

  • Sound Recording in the British Folk Revival: Ideology, Discourse and Practice, 1950–1975
    Sound recording in the British folk revival: ideology, discourse and practice, 1950–1975 Matthew Ord Submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD International Centre for Music Studies Newcastle University March 2017 Abstract Although recent work in record production studies has advanced scholarly understandings of the contribution of sound recording to musical and social meaning, folk revival scholarship in Britain has yet to benefit from these insights. The revival’s recording practice took in a range of approaches and contexts including radio documentary, commercial studio productions and amateur field recordings. This thesis considers how these practices were mediated by revivalist beliefs and values, how recording was represented in revivalist discourse, and how its semiotic resources were incorporated into multimodal discourses about music, technology and traditional culture. Chapters 1 and 2 consider the role of recording in revivalist constructions of traditional culture and working class communities, contrasting the documentary realism of Topic’s single-mic field recordings with the consciously avant-garde style of the BBC’s Radio Ballads. The remaining three chapters explore how the sound of recorded folk was shaped by a mutually constitutive dialogue with popular music, with recordings constructing traditional performance as an authentic social practice in opposition to an Americanised studio sound equated with commercial/technological mediation. As the discourse of progressive rock elevated recording to an art practice associated with the global counterculture, however, opportunities arose for the incorporation of rock studio techniques in the interpretation of traditional song in the hybrid genre of folk-rock. Changes in studio practice and technical experiments with the semiotics of recorded sound experiments form the subject of the final two chapters.

  • Unit Will Provide a Way to Connect Science Through Aquatic Organisms and Human Endeavors, Historically and Musically
    Songs of the Sea, Above and Below Laurie Bailey Introduction Sea shanties are a part of our musical and nautical history. Shanties provided a strong beat for sailors to work in unison. They described the adventures and trials of sailors and entertained sailors who sailed the seas for up to four years at a time. Shanties tend to be “catchy” and therefore easily learned. In addition, they were written in prose easily understood by those with little education1. To our benefit, shanties provide a type of historical record of sea life in the 18th and 19th centuries. Shanties usually have many verses but almost always include a chorus when all the sailors can sing together. I think this will be a useful tool to help my students participate in singing the shanties. Discussing whales and their communication skills will be a great way to talk to my students about how singing is a way of communication for them and for humans. This unit will provide a way to connect science through aquatic organisms and human endeavors, historically and musically. Rationale Castle Hills Elementary School, located on Moores Lane in New Castle, Delaware, is a school for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Enrollment during the school year 2014-2015 was 658. Slightly over one third of the population is African American. Slightly under one third is white and 26% of the students are Hispanic. Just over half of the student population is considered to be Low Income with about 17% who speak another language at home. Fewer than 10% of the students have special needs.2 As I write this paper, this is to be my fourth week at the school, having been reassigned from a school with a population of students with severe physical and cognitive disabilities.

  • INTRODUCTION the Arrangements
    5 INTRODUCTION Welcome to The Language of Folk 1. This book is meant as an introduction to the world of folk song and is no more than a drop in the ocean in terms of the range of song types, subject matter, melodies and vocal styles found in folk music. The majority of the songs in this collection have their origins in the British Isles, though one or two come from America or further afield. This book brings together songs from different ages. Many are very old, although in some cases they cannot easily be traced further back than the the folk music revivals of the 1920s or 1950s–60s. Folk song, however, is a living tradition, so this book also includes modern songs that have been assimilated into the folk music tradition in recent years; although not ‘traditional’ in the usual sense, they have been included here because they are fantastic to sing and would happily sit in any folk singer’s repertoire. Musicians and audiences often refer to ‘the folk music community’ when talking about the music in its modern setting. There are thousands of people singing, playing, dancing to and listening to this music, and these people form an active community with shared interests. The music is inclusive, so those new to the folk tradition are encouraged and welcomed. ‘Sing-a-rounds’ and ‘sessions’ are commonplace within the UK and Ireland; these are situations (often in a pub or in someone’s home) where anyone is welcomed to sing and play music together. The intention is to share, not to perform, and they are a fantastic setting in which to try out new songs.

His most famous recording so far is ‘Wellerman’. You can hear Nathan Evans singing it here: Nathan Evans - Wellerman (Official Audio) But what is a sea shanty? Sea shanties were songs sung by sailors working on ships. They’ve been around from at least the fifteenth century (the 1400s) right up to the days of steam ships in the first half of the 20th century. Most of the sea shanties we know were first performed in the 1800’s. Two of the main jobs on board sailing ships were raising the halyard (pulling the ropes to hoist the sail) and reefing the sail (making the sail smaller to carry the ship in strong winds).

  • Bb&T Blue Skies and Golden Sands Tour
    BB&T BLUE SKIES AND GOLDEN SANDS TOUR - PROGRAM NOTES Blue Skies and Golden Sands continues a musical journey that embarked at the start of the North Carolina Symphony’s 75th anniversary season in September 2006. A special pops concert called Blue Skies and Red Earth brought the orchestra together with some of North Carolina’s finest folk musicians for a grand celebration of our state’s musical heritage. Blue Skies and Red Earth thrilled audiences with the sheer depth and breadth of homegrown musical traditions that have evolved over centuries. From haunting Cherokee flute music to the propulsive sounds of the fiddle and banjo, from stately spirituals to ecstatic gospel, from earthy blues to sophisticated jazz, the anniversary program showed the Tar Heel state to be a wellspring of musical treasures. Despite having enlisted dozens of guest artists who performed ten or more styles of music, Blue Skies and Red Earth by no means exhausted North Carolina’s musical resources. A few months after the final performance, planning commenced on a follow-up concert to highlight music oriented more to the state’s eastern shores than the rolling hills and mountains to the west. It began with what seemed like a casual question: “What about beach music?" As most Carolinians know, beach music refers to a body of popular songs that provides just the right mood and rhythms for a popular style of swing dancing called the Carolina Shag. Once heavily associated with beach clubs and dance pavilions from Wilmington, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shag dancing is performed all over the Southeast nowadays, and many commercial radio stations present the classic beach playlist over the air waves.
