LEARNING LINEAGE AND THE PROBLEM OF AUTHENTICITY IN OZARK FOLK MUSIC A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by KEVIN L. THARP May 2020 Copyright Kevin L. Tharp 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Thorough examination of the existing research and the content of ballad and folk song collections reveals a lack of information regarding the methods by which folk musicians learn the music they perform. The centuries-old practice of folk song and ballad performance is well- documented. Many Child ballads and other folk songs have been passed down through the generations. Oral tradition is the principal method of transmission in Ozark folk music. The variants this method produces are considered evidence of authenticity. Although alteration is a distinguishing characteristic of songs passed down in the oral tradition, many ballad variants have persisted in the folk record for great lengths of time without being altered beyond recognition.

  • 2012 Annual Report
    AMERICAN FOLKLIFE CENTER Library of Congress Annual Report, Fiscal Year 2012 (October 2011-September 2012) The American Folklife Center (AFC), which includes the Veterans History Project (VHP), had another productive year. Over 154,301 items were acquired, about 210,000 items were processed, and over 88,775 items were cataloged by AFC's archive, which is the country’s first national archive of traditional culture, and one of the oldest and largest of such repositories in the world. VHP continued making strides in its mission to collect and preserve the stories of our nation's veterans, acquiring 5,459 collections (18,610 items) in FY 2012. The VHP public database provided access to information on all processed collections; its fully digitized collections, whose materials are available through the Library’s web site to any computer with internet access, now number almost 12,000. Together, AFC and VHP acquired a total of 154,301 items in FY 2012. AFC and VHP processed a total of 209,933 items in FY 2012, and added 254 catalog records in ILS and 528 Name Authority Files. AFC and VHP attracted just under seven million “page views” on the Library of Congress website. ARCHIVAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AFC ACQUISITIONS PROGRAM: Summary During FY2012, the AFC archives accessioned fifty-eight new collections and collection accruals documenting expressive culture in the United States and around the world. Thirty-seven of the collections derive from programs produced or sponsored by AFC, including lectures, concerts, and symposia, and special programs such as the Archie Green Fellowships. An item count, while useful, is an incomplete measure of the activities of the program.

DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Education; Cultural Enrichment; Elementary Secondary Education; *Folk Culture; Higher Education; *Instructional Materials; Legends; Literature; Music; Mythology; *North American Culture; Poetry; Proverbs IDENTIFIERS *Canada; *United States ABSTRACT Because folklife studies have been integrated into a variety of scholarly and public pursuits, the breadth and vitality of the field has sometimes been underestimated. This directory demonstrates the extent of resources and programs available. Chapter one presents U.S. and Canaiian federal agencies and organizations that provide long-range programmatic and financial support for the conservation and study of traditional culture in the United States. State folk cultural programs that function in an official capacity for their respective areas are listed in chapter two, which points out that folk arts coordinators can provide valuable information on publications, programs, and resources in their states. Societies with specific cultural interests, such as the Southern Appalachian Dulcimer Association, provide an invaluable source for information on folk culture and are identified in chapter three.
