Chapter 2 Music in the United States Before the Great Depression
American Music in the 20th Century 6 Chapter 2 Music in the United States Before the Great Depression Background: The United States in 1900-1929 In 1920 in the US - Average annual income = $1,100 - Average purchase price of a house = $4,000 - A year's tuition at Harvard University = $200 - Average price of a car = $600 - A gallon of gas = 20 cents - A loaf of Bread = 20 cents Between 1900 and the October 1929 stock market crash that triggered the Great Depression, the United States population grew By 47 million citizens (from 76 million to 123 million). Guided by the vision of presidents Theodore Roosevelt1 and William Taft,2 the US 1) began exerting greater political influence in North America and the Caribbean.3 2) completed the Panama Canal4—making it much faster and cheaper to ship its goods around the world. 3) entered its "Progressive Era" by a) passing anti-trust laws to Break up corporate monopolies, b) abolishing child labor in favor of federally-funded puBlic education, and c) initiating the first federal oversight of food and drug quality. 4) grew to 48 states coast-to-coast (1912). 5) ratified the 16th Amendment—estaBlishing a federal income tax (1913). In addition, by 1901, the Lucas brothers had developed a reliaBle process to extract crude oil from underground, which soon massively increased the worldwide supply of oil while significantly lowering its price. This turned the US into the leader of the new energy technology for the next 60 years, and opened the possibility for numerous new oil-reliant inventions. -

Musical Traditions of Southern Louisiana
Musical Traditions of Southern Louisiana Rosalon Moorhead GENERAL INTRODUCTION This unit was developed for use in French classes at the secondary level. It gives students opportunities to Research the history and patterns of French settlement in Louisiana Discover three types of music (New Orleans jazz, Cajun, Zydeco) which are representative of the Francophone presence in Louisiana. Make connections between the rhythms of the music and those of the French language. Although I intend to use the unit in my fourth-year French classes at Bellaire High School, the material is probably better suited to the curriculum of second- or third-year classes, as some of the state-adopted textbooks at those levels have chapters that deal with Louisiana. I believe that the unit could be modified for use at any level of French language instruction. BACKGROUND NARRATIVE In the nearly twenty years that I have been teaching French, I have observed that while the students‟ motivations to take the class have remained largely the same (it‟s a beautiful language, I want to travel/live in France, my mother made me), the emphases in the teaching of the language have changed quite a bit. As a student and in the early years of my teaching career, I (along with other Americans) studied the sound system and patterns of the language, attempting to mimic the pronunciation and intonation of French as my primary goal. That approach was superseded variously by those focusing on the grammar, the vocabulary, or the learning of language in context as revealed by reading. The one aspect of the study of French that seemed to be static was the culture; until very recently, the references were to France, and more specifically, to Paris. -

St-Landry-Parish.Pdf
Welcome to St. Landry Parish Bienvenue a la paroisse de Saint Landry Welcome to St. Landry Parish, where accordions are cool, boudin is hot and history is not just in textbooks. Our festivals celebrate art, blues, Cajun music, catfish, cracklins, etouffee, herbs, spices, yams and zydeco. Cook-offs and trail rides aren’t called festivals, but they are filled with just as much music, food and fun. Mardi Gras can be a parade with floats and beads, or a chicken chase on horseback that ends with a community gumbo. Horses and jockeys show their athleticism at a “racino,” a thoroughbred and quarter horse racetrack and casino where you can try your luck on the slot machines. History not only lives in museums and antique markets, but the plantations, schools and churches that have stood for centuries. St. Landry Parish’s rich culture and history come from the diverse people who have called it home. Cajun, Creole, French, African, Spanish, Italian and Native American people have mixed and matched here for almost three centuries. Those influences give St. Landry Parish music, food and culture that few can match. Opelousas, the parish’s largest city, is the Zydeco Music Capital of the World. Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco, Rockin’ Sidney of “Don’t Mess with My Toot Toot” fame and Terrance Simien are Grammy-winning zydeco musicians and parish natives. Cajun music thrives at local jam sessions and the Saturday night Rendez-vous des Cajuns, an all-French radio and TV music program at the historic Liberty Theatre in Eunice. Flavorful Cajun and Creole cuisine is plentiful in settings ranging from a stick-to-your-ribs plate lunch at a grocery store deli or truck stop to candlelight dining in an age-old restaurant. -

Accordion (Music Playing) Narrator: Along with the Argentinean Tango
Accordion (Music playing) Narrator: Along with the Argentinean tango, French musettes, and German polkas, the accordion is one of the defining sounds of Central Texas conjunto bands, as well as Southeast Texas Cajun and zydeco music, country, and western swing. (Music playing) N: With its roots dating back to China thousands of years ago, the popularity of this instrument took off in the early nineteenth century in Europe. N: By the mid 1800s, immigrants had brought the accordion to Texas, where it became emblematic in the way different ethnic groups have shared their musical heritage and influences. (Music playing) N: Patented in 1829 by an Austrian named Cyrill Demian, the accordion spread quickly throughout Europe. N: From Ireland to Russia, versatility and sheer volume of this instrument attracted folk musicians who adapted it to their own style of music. N: However, it was the Germans, Czechs, and French who forever changed Texas music with their use of the accordion. (Music playing) N: German immigrants began moving to Central Texas in large numbers in the 1840s, settling in what became known as the “German Belt,”areas including New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, and Luckenbach. N: German folk songs, with the polka, waltz, and schottische dance steps, were a fundamental part of these immigrant communities, and the accordion was essential to their music. (Music playing) N: By the turn-of-the-century, German Texans and Tejanos were increasingly exchanging musical influences. N: Santiago Jiménez began playing the accordion in 1921 at the age of eight. N: His father, Patricio, had been a successful accordion player in Eagle Pass, Texas, and he encouraged his son to play. -
The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco
The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco Carole Poindexter-Sylvers INTRODUCTION The music and cuisine of southern Louisiana experienced a renaissance during the 1980s. Zydeco musicians and recording artists made appearances on morning talk shows, Cajun and Creole restaurants began to spring up across the nation, and celebrity chefs such Paul Prudhomme served as a catalyst for the surge in interest. What was once unknown by the majority of Americans and marginalized within the non-French speaking community in Louisiana had now become a national trend. The Acadians, originally from Acadia, Nova Scotia, were expelled from Canada and gradually became known as Cajuns. These Acadians or Cajuns proudly began teaching the lingua franca in their francophone communities as Cajun French, published children‘s books in Cajun French and school curricula in Cajun French. Courses were offered at local universities in Cajun studies and Cajun professors published scholarly works about Cajuns. Essentially, the once marginalized peasants had become legitimized. Cajuns as a people, as a culture, and as a discipline were deemed worthy of academic study stimulating even more interest. The Creoles of color (referring to light-skinned, French-speaking Negroid people born in Louisiana or the French West Indies), on the other hand, were not acknowledged to the same degree as the Cajuns for their autonomy. It would probably be safe to assume that many people outside of the state of Louisiana do not know that there is a difference between Cajuns and Creoles – that they are a homogeneous ethnic or cultural group. Creoles of color and Louisiana Afro-Francophones have been lumped together with African American culture and folkways or southern folk culture. -
