Book excerpt: This volume presents forty-seven waulking songs recorded in South Uist, Barra, and the adjacent smaller islands between 1938 and 1965. Intensely evocative of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Highlands and Islands, these songs are one of the most interesting folk survivals of western Europe. Documenting a remarkable oral tradition of folkmusic, this work contains an analysis of the motifs found in the older waulking sounds, musical notes by Francis Collinson, and a chapter listing the songs in the three volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Scottish historian recounts how Hebridean croft farmers raided a neighboring island in order to survive—and sparked a national debate over land rights. In 1906, men from the Hebridean islands of Barra and Mingulay took possession of the uninhabited island of Vatersay. Two years later, they were imprisoned for refusing to leave—and for building huts and planting potatoes without permission. The case caused an outcry across Scotland, and the government eventually bought Vatersay for the purpose of croft farming. In the first book on the subject, historian Ben Buxton tell the full story of the Vatersay Raiders: their struggle to escape the oppressive policies of an absentee landowner, the raiding and settlement of the island, and the fraught process of dividing it up into crofts. The book also documents the larger history of Vatersay, from intriguing monuments of prehistory to shipwrecks and the 19th century evictions that left it uninhabited. An outline of subsequent developments, including the Vatersay Causeway which connects the island to Barra, completes the narrative.

Download or read book Fragments and Meaning in Traditional Song written by Mary-Ann Constantine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a radical approach to the study of traditional songs. Folk song scholarship was originally obsessed with notions of completeness and narrative coherence; even now long narratives hold a privileged place in most folk song canons. Yet field notebooks and recordings (and, increasingly, publications) overwhelmingly suggest that apparently 'broken' and drastically shortened versions are not perceived as incomplete by those who sing them. Dealing with a wide range of traditions and languages, this study turns the focus on these 'dog-ends' of oral tradition, and looks closely at how very short texts convey meaning in performance by working the audience's knowledge of a highly allusive idiom. What emerges is the tenacity of meaning in the connotative and metaphorical language of traditional song, and the extraordinary adaptability of songs in different cultural contexts. Such pieces have a strong metonymic force: they should not be seen as residual 'last leaves' of a once-complete tradition, but as dynamic elements in the process of oral transmission. Not all song fragments remain in their natural environment, and this book also explores relocations and dislocations as songs are adapted to new contexts: a ballad of love and death is used to count pins in lace-making, song-snippets trail subversive meanings in the novels of Charles Dickens. Because they are variable and elusive to dating, songs have had little attention from the literary establishment: the authors show both how certain critical approaches can be fruitfully applied to song texts, and how concepts from studies in oral traditions prefigure aspects of contemporary critical theory. Like the songs themselves, this book crosses and recrosses the perceived divide between the literary and the oral. Coverage includes English, Welsh, Breton, American, and Finnish songs.

Download or read book Ordinary Oralities written by Josephine Hoegaerts and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histories of voice are often written as accounts of greatness: great statesmen, notable rebels, grands discours, and famous exceptional speakers and singers populate our shelves. This focus on the great and exceptional has not only led to disproportionate attention to a small subset of historical actors (powerful, white, western men and the occasional token woman), but also obscures the broad range of vocal practices that have informed, co-created and given meaning to human lives and interactions in the past. For most historical actors, life did not consist of grand public speeches, but of private conversations, intimate whispers, hot gossip or interminable quarrels. This volume suggests an extended practice of eavesdropping: rather than listening out for exceptional voices, it listens in on the more mundane aspects of vocality, including speech and song, but also less formalized shouts, hisses, noises and silences. Ranging from the Scottish highlands to China, from the bedroom to the platform, and from the 18th until the 20th century, contributions to this volume seek out spaces and moments that have been documented idiosyncratically or with difficulty, and where the voice and its sounds can be of particular salience. In doing so, the volume argues for a heightened attention to who speaks, and whose voices resound in history, but refuses to take the modern equation between speech and presence/representation for granted.
