Abstract

This book focuses on vocal expressions in the borderland between song and speech. It spans across several linguistic and musical milieus in societies where oral transmission of culture dominates. ‘Vocal expression’ is an alternative word for ‘song’ which is free from bias based on cultural and research-related traditions. The borderland between song and speech is a segment of the larger continuum that extends from speech to song. These vocal expressions are endangered to the same degree as the languages they represent. Perspectives derived from ethnomusicology, prosody, syntax, and semantics are combined in the research, in which performance templates serve as an analytical tool. The focus is on the techniques that make performance possible and on the transmission of these techniques. The performance templates serve to organize the vocal expression of words by combining musical and linguistic conventions. It is shown that all the cultures studied have principles for organizing these parameters; but each does this in its own unique way while meeting a number of basic needs on the part of human society, particularly communal interaction and interaction with the spirit world. A working method is developed that makes it possible to gain qualitative knowledge from a large body of material within a comparatively limited period of time.

Abstract

Más allá de la impresionante competencia coreográfica y los aplausos en los teatros, la danza de tijeras es ante todo un ritual dirigido por las comunidades campesinas a los dioses telúricos locales para el buen desarrollo del ciclo agrícola. Desconocida del público limeño hasta mediados del siglo pasado, esta danza andina goza actualmente del reconocimiento nacional y en el extranjero. Pero el contacto con la ciudad traerá consigo importantes cambios en la organización y el desarrollo de la performance, así como en la coreografía, la música y hasta en la confección del vestuario del danzante. El libro de Manuel Arce desarrolla estos y otros aspectos de la danza de tijeras, en particular aquella practicada en Ayacucho y la provincia de Lucanas, por cuyos intérpretes el violista y etnomusicólogo peruano siente una gran admiración. Conoceremos así la historia del violín tradicional que era utilizado en esta región hasta antes de las migraciones a la capital hacia los años 40, y su reemplazo progresivo y definitivo por el violín occidental. A todo lo largo de esta investigación podremos también comprobar que numerosos elementos andinos y occidentales coexisten en esta tradición sin conflicto aparente. El autor enriquece el estudio de la danza de tijeras presentando dos puntos hasta ahora poco abordados. Estos son: la descripción precisa de la técnica instrumental particular utilizada por los violinistas de Lucanas, y la transcripción y el análisis exhaustivo de las principales melodías del «programa» de la competencia.

Abstract

Ivan H. Walton was a pioneering folklorist who collected the songs and stories of aging sailors living along the shores of the Great Lakes in the 1930s. His collection is unique in the annals of Great Lakes folklore. It began as a search for songs but broadened into a collection of weather signs, shipboard beliefs, greenhorn tales, and stories of the intense rivalry between sailors and the steamboat men who replaced them. Edited by Joe Grimm, Songquest: The Journals of Great Lakes Folklorist Ivan H. Walton is a selection from the daily journals Walton wrote during his travels as a folklore collector. It is clear that Walton, a professor of English at the University of Michigan, both admired the sailors of the Great Lakes for what they had done during their working years and worried about them as they entered the twilight of their lives. Walton went beyond the songs he set out to find and captured the pitch and roll of the Great Lakes alive with white-winged schooners. His writings provide a clear picture of the colorful individuals he met and interviewed-captains, cabin boys, tugmen, chandlers, boardinghouse owners, dredgers, and light keepers. Walton also documented the methods he used and recorded his personal thoughts about his nomadic life and the events going on around him during the 1930s, including the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's election, and the end of Prohibition.

Abstract

Yodel and Yodel-Song – duple metre – in the Lower Austrian / Styrian Wechsel-region from the beginning of the 19th century, completed with local research-results 2001–2019 (especially Schwaigen-Reigen® 2007–2009 – traditional music in 18 alpine huts at the beginning of the alpine pasture in June) and references to other sources.Summaries in English and the languages spoken in the former Austro-Hungarian member-states, today – mostly – EU-countries.For the first time a conscious differentiation between measures in triple metre (3/4) and duple metre (2/4) in yodels, yodel-songs and quatrains, thus showing stylistic consequences. An axiom which has not been applied as a musical standard in the academic approach of traditional music so far. A matter of course as far as dance is concerned.•WeXel oder Die Musik einer Landschaft Teil 2.1 - Das Weltliche Lied - Ungeradtaktig: Jodler und Jodler-Lied – Ungeradtaktig: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1601•WeXel oder Die Musik einer Landschaft Teil 2.2 - Das Weltliche Lied – Geradtaktig: Jodler, Jodler-Lied, Gstanzl und Tanz – Geradtaktig: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1602•WeXel oder Die Musik einer Landschaft Teil 2.3 Register – Das Weltliche Lied : Jodler, Jodler-Lied, Gstanzl und Tanz: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1603 Jodler, Jodler-Lied, Gstanzl und Tanz – geradtaktig – aus dem niederösterreich-steirischen Wechselgebiet ab dem 19.
