While ethnomusicology has, to a certain extent, moved away from primarily musicological approaches, I feel that such a method functions as a helpful tool in my research. I do not want the conceptual aspect of my work to be influenced entirely by the American school for the following reasons. Speaking about a tradition of music from Western Europe compels, even morally obliges me, to look to the European school as well as the Irish academic tradition - both of which tend to be more formalistic in nature. Despite its somewhat isolated location on the north-western tip of Europe, Ireland has been exposed to the musical practices of the continent for centuries, especially since the Baroque era. The use of the comparative method acknowledges this presence of certain musical elements from the European tradition in Irish music. Almost paradoxically, the imposition of structural aspects of Western harmony to a 'non-western' melodic music seem to make the use of the comparative method unavoidable if system incongruities and discrepancies are to be highlighted. Therefore, a formalist approach, through the use of the musicology method, proves beneficial, especially when combined with a contextual approach. Practical Approach I encountered problems when making the transcriptions for which I was obliged to compensate. While I am happy that the bass line and rhythmic figures of all the examples are accurate recreations of the recorded experience, I must acknowledge that the voicing of chords in the right hand did cause some difficulty. The noise distortion in certain musical examples often made it impossible to hear the true voicing of chords. Where it became impossible to transcribe without any doubt, I drew on my own experience both as a traditional piano accompanist and classically trained pianist as a means of compensating for these technical difficulties. The resultant chords, therefore, are sometimes interpretations as opposed to unequivocally accurate, literal representations. Nevertheless, I am satisfied with my approach since all of these transcriptions are functional illustrations of individual stylistic piano accompaniment techniques. vi My thanks must go, first and foremost, to my mother and father whose love and unfailing support guided me through this and all of my journeys - you are the best. Thanks, too, to my sisters Deirdre and Noreen for their encouragement and generosity, and especially to Fionnuala whose conscientious editorial pencil invariably put me on the right track. I am grateful to my supervisors Prof. Micheal 6 Siiilleabhain and Dr. John Morgan O'Connell for their constructive criticism and direction throughout this project, and their support for my future endeavours. Thanks to all in the IWMC who offered advice and encouragement, especially George (Georgette Mulheir) who kept me going during those dark middle days. Finally, Nicholas Carolan and the staff of the Irish Traditional Music Archive deserve a special mention for their continual support and assistance. This is where I first met Harry Bradshaw without whom this thesis would not have been possible. Harry was essentially the main informant for this work and his knowledge, wisdom, and insight suffuse the following pages. vii THE IVORY BRIDGE: -,Piano Accompaniment on 78rmp Recorded Sources of Irish Traditional Dance Music, America c.1910-1945 by AiIeen Dillane Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology University of Limerick 2000 Professor Micheal 6 Suilleabhain Dr. John Morgan O'Connell This dissertation is concerned with the polyvalent symbolism of the pIano and its manifestation in 78rmp recordings of Irish traditional dance music early in the twentieth century in America. Irish dance music was conceived and practised in its original rural Irish context as an unaccompanied, melodic form whose clear purpose was that of accompaniment to the associated dance figure (I). On being introduced to America by immigrant Irish communities, the music did not seem to resonate within this new urban landscape, reflecting the geographical, social and cultural displacement of the music's practitioners and audiences (Ill). One way in which the Irish negotiated their ideological space and ethnic identity was through music. Irish traditional dance music was mediated by the piano, initially a symbol of Victorian ideals representing prestige, morality, economic status, and high culture. This symbolism was replaced by a more contemporary interpretation, one that embodied the mechanical complexity of the modern industrial age (11). The addition of the piano to Irish records imbued the music with these associated characteristics. The 78rmp recordings of Irish music with piano accompaniment thus become a social, historical, and musical record of these experiences in 1920s America (IV). Within the three-minute grooves of each recording the manifestations of emigrant experience in this multi-cultural, populist, modern, and capitalist society are encountered (V). The piano, the ivory bridge, is shown to have acted as a mediator between Irish identity and mainstream American culture on a number of interrelated levels. viii In order to understand why a music structure exists as it does, we must also understand how and why the behaviour which produces it is as it is, and how and why the concepts which underline that behaviour are ordered in such a way as to produce the particularly desired form of organised sound. (Alan Merriam 1963:7) Origins of Thesis Topic Many years ago, when I first heard a track from an old 78rpm record of Irish traditional music featuring Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945), I was swamped with conflicting feelings. I To my ears the sprightly fiddle playing was undoubtedly brilliant if not virtuosic but the accompanying piano vamp sounded terribly wrong, both rhythmically and harmonically." Coleman, one of the greatest and truly revered musicians of the tradition, did not seem to be aware of the cacophony he and his accompanist were making." The unnamed piano player sounded completely unrehearsed, or else appeared to have no real insight into the music he was accompanying.

  • Tony Demarco and the Atlantic Wave Includes Tony Demarco, Siobhan Butler, Donie Carroll, Sean Earnest, and Martin O’Connell
    Tony DeMarco and the Atlantic Wave includes Tony DeMarco, Siobhan Butler, Donie Carroll, Sean Earnest, and Martin O’Connell Tony DeMarco was born on May 20, 1955, the second of three children raised in East Flatbush by Paul DeMarco and his wife, the former Patricia Dempsey. Paul, a grandson of Italian immigrants, was a teenage lightweight boxing star who turned down an offer to turn pro and work with lightweight champ Paddy “Billygoat” DeMarco in order to pursue a more conventional career on Wall Street. Tony’s maternal grandfather Jimmy Dempsey was a New York City cop and a son of Irish immigrants who married Philomena “Minnie” Fenimore, one of several Italian-American siblings who married into Brooklyn Irish families. Musical ability runs on both sides of Tony’s family. During the Prohibition years, Minnie Dempsey’s Italian immigrant father ran a speakeasy in East New York, where he played the piano and mandolin. Tony’s paternal uncle Louie DeMarco was a singer who performed with 1950s doo-wop groups, including “Dickie Dell and the Ding Dongs.” Tony’s cousin John Pattitucci, from the Fenimore side of the family, is a leading professional bass player who has recorded with jazz stars Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Wayne Shorter. But Tony definitely found his way to Irish traditional music via a different path than the one trod by musicians raised in Irish immigrant households. As he puts it: “I never grew up with the competitive Comhaltas scene—I came through the hippie scene, the folkie scene.” His first exposure to Irish traditional music was through a Folkways recording of the County Sligo fiddler Michael Gorman.

By the late twentieth century, the remotest of vil- lages had access to new sounds and information from across the globe. Not unexpectedly, these processes have had a major impact on folk music traditions around the world, including those in Newfoundland and Labrador. This article will examine how media sources, such as radio, recordings, television, and printed mu- sic have transmitted new styles of music to the island and how these, in turn, have influenced the repertoire and styles of traditional fiddle players.
