Adler University of Kentucky; Record Review Editor, Western Folklore Ethel Raim Director, Ethnic Folk Arts Center Don L. Roberts Head Music Librarian, Northwestern University Jeff Todd Titon Tufts University Charles K. Wolfe University of Tennessee; Secretary-Editor, Tennessee Folklore Society Michael Licht Project Coordinator American Folkiife Center Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540 1986 INTRODUCTION The Library of Congress first drew public atten- tion to interesting commercial recordings of tradi- tional American music in 1939, when Alan Lomax of the Archive of American Folk-Song (today's Ar- chive of Folk Culture) published a list of commer- cially produced 78-rpm records. The annotated list was prepared "in order that the interested musician or student of American society may explore this unknown body of Americana with readiness." The same goal underlies the American Folklife Center's publication of this third annual list of quality records and audio tapes of traditional American folk music and folklore. The list is not comprehensive, but is intended to provide a short, usable guide to important audio resources for educators, librarians, and all those who enjoy America's grassroots music and spoken arts. A panel of distinguished experts selected the thirty recordings listed here from among two hun- dred titles submitted by producers, suggested by folklorists and ethnomusicologists, and proposed by Center staff. In keeping with guidelines established three years ago, we required that all entries: be released in 1985; feature cultural traditions found within the United States; emphasize "root traditions" over popular adapta- tions of traditional materials; be conveniently available to American purchasers; and be well annotated with liner notes or accom- panying booklets relating the recordings to the per- formers, their communities, genres, styles, or other pertinent information. The American Folklife Center hopes that publica- tion of this list will stimulate an increase in the number of new, high-quality documentary folk recordings, leading ultimately to increased support and encouragement for those performers who preserve our country's folk heritage. The en- thusiasm with which the first two editions of this publication were received, and the marked increase in the number and quality of the recordings submit- ted, leads us to believe that these aims are being served. The annotated entries below are followed by in- formation about sources for these and other folk records and tapes, as well as other publications which list and review traditional music recordings. Library of Congress catalog card numbers are in- cluded for the convenience of librarians and should not be used when ordering recordings. We hope that future editions of this list will include more recordings of folktales and other traditional spoken arts, a wider range of America's ethnic and regional traditions, and more records and tapes of American folk music issued abroad and distributed in the United States. To suggest suitable 1986 releases for consideration by next year's panel, or to obtain ad- ditional copies of this publication, please write to: Annual Recordings List, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540.

    Contemporary Jewish Music and Culture Spring 2013 Judaic Studies Special Topics 563:225:01 Tuesday and Thursdays 6:10-7:30pm Dr. Mark Kligman ([email protected]) Office Hours Tuesday 5:00-6:00, Room 203 12 College Ave, Rm 107 Course Description This course will look at Contemporary Jewish Music. “Contemporary” for this class is defined as music created from the 1950s to the present. The thrust of this investigation will be Jewish music in America and Israel since the 1970s. In order to contextualize Jewish music in America the music prior to this period, the music of Jews with roots in Europe, will begin our discussion. Issues such as Jewish identity, authenticity, religion and culture will be ongoing in our discussion. One overarching topic is the ongoing nature of tradition and innovation. An ethnographic approach will inform the issues to see your culture plays a role in shaping, informing and intrinsically a part of music in Jewish life. Contemporary music in Israel will also be examined and will highlight some similarities to music in America as well as illustrate key differences. The course will be divided into three almost equal sections: contemporary Jewish music in America in Religious contexts (Orthodox, Conservative and Reform); klezmer music; and, Israeli music. The readings assigned for each course will provide a good deal of historical and contextual information as related to musicians and musical genres. At each class sessionsmusical examples (both audio and video) will demonstrate key musical selections. Historical, informational and cultural background of Jewish life will be part of the readings for each session.

Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance.

  • Collection Highlights
    COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS “LATINOS AND BASEBALL” COLLECTING INITIATIVE Latino baseball players have been interwoven in the fabric of Major League Baseball for years. They've been some of the greatest, well-known names in baseball history. To reflect and celebrate that rich history, the National Museum of American History (“NMAH”) in collaboration with the Smithsonian Latino Center, launched Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues. The multi-year community collecting initiative focuses on the historic role that baseball has played as a social and cultural force within Latino communities across the nation. The project launched a series of collecting events in late February in San Bernardino, California. A second event will be held in Los Angeles on July 17, 2016, and a third will be held in Syracuse, New York, on September 15, 2016. The events are designed to generate interest in the initiative, build on community relationships, record oral histories, and identify objects for possible acquisition by local historical associations as well as for the Smithsonian collections. The collaborative initiative seeks to document stories from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and plans to collect a number of objects that could include baseball equipment; stadium signs; game memorabilia, such as handmade or mass-produced jerseys and tickets; food vendor signs; home movies; and period photographs. Curators will select objects based on the stories they represent and the insight they provide into the personal, community, and national narratives of the national pastime. “Baseball has played a major role in everyday American life since the 1800s, providing a means of celebrating both national and ethnic identities and building communities,” said John Gray, director of NMAH.
