Saunders, Jessica Anne. "Songs of the Kalevala: art song inspired by the Finnish national epic." Diss., University of Iowa, 2017. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/5622.

Full text
Abstract:
The Kalevala, first published in 1835 by Elias Lönnrot, is the Finnish national epic and was fundamental in formalizing the Finnish language. It is a collection of stories Lönnrot collected over many years, pieced together to create a coherent epic. The stories in the Kalevala stem from an oral tradition, in which singing and music was integral. The stories in the epic contain many different characters, with Väinämöinen and his quest in to find a wife at the forefront. Other major characters discussed include Kullervo, Lemminkäinen, and Luonnotar. Extensive research exists about the history of the Kalevala itself, as well as its impact on music in Finland in the areas of pop music, symphonic music, choral music, and opera. However, little scholarship exists, regarding how the texts from the Kalevala have been incorporated into 19th and 20th century art song. The lack of research about the Kalevala in art song is due partly to the fact that no catalogue of related songs exists. Also, works based on the Kalevala are hard to obtain, as many are only available in manuscript form, or are found only in the Finnish National Archives. This essay aims to bridge the research gap on art song inspired by the Kalevala, while evaluating the works available in the context of their incorporation of the folk singing tradition that would have been used in the early performance of these Kalevala texts. Songs analyzed include works by Gabriel Linsén, Emil Kauppi, Jean Sibelius, Otto Kotilainen, and Erkki Melartin.

Abstract:
This ethnographic study of a Scottish singing family, the Fishers of Glasgow, is based largely on fieldwork conducted over a period of three years. The Fishers were chosen because of their early involvement in, and their enormous influence on, the Scottish folk revival, which dates from the 1950s. Three members of the Fisher Family, Archie, Ray, and Cilia, sing professionally, and perform both traditional folksongs and contemporary material. This study focuses on them, although commentary about and from other family members is also included. In Chapter 2, I present a biography of the family, which is a patchwork of oral accounts by family members. Their biography leads us back to the islands of Vatersay and Barra, and the island traditions have obviously shaped the family ethos, even though they are an urban family. Chapter 3 is in part an oral history of the folk revival in Scotland, and the emergence of Archie and Ray Fisher as performers in the revival, as well as an analysis of important musical personalities and currents which had an impact on the revival, and particularly on Archie and Ray Fisher. Chapter 4 examines the professional careers of Archie, Ray, and Cilia, as well as the involvement of sisters Joyce, Cindy, and Audrey in the revival. The repertoire of the Fishers is examined in Chapter 5, with reference to the patterns of repertoire in the Scottish folk revival, and traditional sources. The way in which Archie, Ray, and Cilia categorize their songs is considered. Their categories, such as "heavy songs" and "light songs" tend to reflect the emotive impact of a song in performance, rather than structure. The problem of song "ownership" and repertoire within a family is also dealt with here. Chapter 6 focuses on the "aesthetic systems" of Archie, Ray, and Cilia, considering the following components: attraction to and selection of songs for learning; relative importance of tune and text; preferred song content; degree of emotional identification with songs; suitability of voice for a particular song; singing style; vocal range; the choice to accompany or not; the desired impact of the singer on the audience; the performing venue; and self-imposed expectations. The Fishers' aesthetic systems are also compared with those of other singers, both traditional and revival. In Chapter 7, I discuss the functions of songs in the Fishers' public performances, and analyse transcribed performance extracts of Archie, Ray, and Cilia (performing with her husband Artie). The spoken portion of the performances is seen as a significant and integral part of the performance as a communicative event. Analysis focuses on the structure of the performance, how the performance reflects the individual aesthetic system, and what levels of meaning may be derived from the performance. In Chapter 8, I conclude with a brief summary, and assess the place of the Fishers in the Scottish folk revival. Other data on the Fisher family, such as repertoire lists, a discography, and transcribed performance extracts may be found in the Appendices.

Abstract:
This paper discusses musical folklore-collecting practices in Estonia in the 1950s and 1960s. My aim is to observe folkloristic encounters that took place 50 years ago { to do ethnographic Fieldwork in the ethnomusicological past, as called for by Philip Bohlman (Bohlman 1997). The objects of my research are the folkloristic Fieldwork culture from half a century ago (one of the cultural processes characteristic of that era) and its representatives: the folklorists and their interviewees. 'Fieldwork in the past' is a key phrase which allows us to study the persons operating at the time as equally historical Others without focusing too much on the deconstruction of past disciplinary practices, but rather attempting to assume the position of an understanding and sensitive listener to the voice of the Other.

Abstract:
The distinctiveness of folk music and dance traditions in Cornwall is at best ignored and at worst denied by the wider British folk movement. Within Cornwall itself, traditional music and dance is not widely recognised as a serious art form. This study challenges this position by arguing that failure to recognise Cornwall’s folk tradition as a distinctive and creative art form is due to hegemonic power relations not the intrinsic nature of Cornish material. It contributes to the debate about the distinctiveness of Cornwall’s historical and cultural identity and shows that folk tradition has an important place in contemporary Cornish studies. This study examines the evolution of folk tradition in Cornwall from the early nineteenth century through to the present day, the meanings ascribed to it and the relationship with Cornish identity. The subject matter is at once arcane and commonplace, for some it is full of mystery and symbolism for others it is just “party time”. It is about what people do and what they think about what they do in relation to the wide spectrum of activities associated with traditional music and dance. These activities range from informal singing sessions and barn dances to ritual customs that mark the turning of the year. In order to establish a research methodology this study draws upon the paradigms of memory, oral history and discursivity. These paradigms provide a range of insights into, and alternative views of, both folk tradition and identity. Action research provides a useful enquiry tool as it binds these elements together and offers a working ethos for this study. Using this model a complex and dynamic process is unveiled within folk tradition that offers a quite different perspective on its relationship with identity and brings into question popular stereotypes.

Oyola, Rebaza Zoraida Alfonsina. "A collection of Peruvian and other South American folk songs adapted for teaching violoncello." Diss., University of Iowa, 2014. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2254.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay presents a collection of Peruvian and other South American folk songs adapted for teaching violoncello technique with the goal of providing students with a more culturally diverse method which equally develops the left hand and right hand technique. Peruvian and other South American children learn the violoncello with European or American method books based on European folk songs. The repertoire of traditional methods usually lacks music familiar to pupils from Peruvian and other South American cultures. Written in foreign languages, the texts often exclude Spanish translation. Peruvians, especially children, are not necessarily familiar with folk music from Europe; neither are they fluent in foreign languages. Unless the teacher is familiar with the method's philosophy and is multi-lingual, a vast amount of information is lost, causing slow, and sometimes incorrect, learning. As a consequence, Peruvian music students are at a disadvantage compared to American and European music students. The core of this project consists of the collection of folk tunes arranged for violoncello and piano. The included preparatory exercises will help the student prepare for the technical challenges presented in each piece, and the original recordings of the songs' arrangements will serve as a reference for students and teachers. The purpose of this essay is not to create a new teaching philosophy, but to provide Peruvian and other South American students with a more familiar learning repertoire, drawing on the most effective methodology of three popular violoncello methods. Nonetheless, anyone interested in learning the violoncello with a multicultural repertoire can benefit from this collection.

Abstract:
Ballads, Songs and Snatches demonstrates how allusion to folk song and some aspects of popular musical culture were absorbed into the polyphony of discourses in the realist prose of the nineteenth century, and explores the implications of the various transformations that occurred during this process, with an emphasis on the representation of the labouring classes. Wide and deep acquaintance with folk tradition is shown to account for richly dense literary textuaJity, especially in Scott and Hardy, even where they mediate their knowledge tactically. Lack of that knowledge is consonant with weakness in such representation. The sources used by each writer are identified as accurately as possible. The book is necessarily interdisciplinary, bringing together literary and folk song study and scholarship. It defines a new category for discourse analysis, the 'false intertext', i.e. supposed allusions to folk song or other texts actually composed by the prose writers themselves. It investigates the effects within the literary texts both of these false intertexts and of the inclusion of material so heavily mediated as substantially to misrepresent the original compositions. In the course of this discussion it outlines ways in which authors appealed to audiences often stratified along class and gender lines. The chapter and article extend the concerns of the book, especially Chapter 6, with the discourse of popular songs of the early nineteenth-century song-and-supper rooms. Both continue to address questions of readership, both contemporary and more recent. 'The Cheek of the Young Person: Sexualized Popular Discourse as Subtext in Dickens' overturns assumptions about the canonical respectability of Dickens's earlier work. "'With Mike Hunt I Have Travelled Over the Town": the Norms of "Deviance" in Sub-respectable Nineteenth-century Song' uses popular but critically outlawed material to problematize the position of the literary critic and to offer an alternative to Raymond Williams' model of ideological development.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present research was to provide ideas for positive stress management in the orchestra world to help achieve high-level performances. The author developed the Orchestral Performance and Stress Survey and distributed it to 230 musicians of three orchestras that comprised full-time and part-time professional as well as community orchestra musicians. The survey sought to identify stress-causing and performance-enhancing factors in the orchestra environment. Questions on the musicians' background allowed for comparisons to identify groups with particular needs. Results show that musical training often does not include stress management training. Playing-related injuries are common. Two-thirds of full-time musicians who responded have suffered injuries that forced them to stop playing for more than one week. On average, musicians reported that stress neither detracts from, nor enhances performances. The most stressful concert types were classical concerts. Highly critical audiences are the most stressful.

This research is to analyze “The Night of Folk Songs” concert of ESO , and through the analysis to see the significance and value of folk songs symphonization in Taiwan. This study is based on Symphonization of Folk Songs by Evergreen Symphony Orchestra, and focuses on the phenomenon of Taiwanese folk songs recomposition duration and the changes on music, performing instrument, listening of audience and incidental music. The relation between music and language of Taiwanese folk songs symphonization is also analyzed in theory. The folk songs have changed with the living of folk. The folk songs which are hummed are symphonized and performed in concert hall consequently. The change of performing “field” brings other meanings. There is no better-and-worse between folk songs and symphony. The Symphonization of Folk Song is just the combination of folk songs and symphony. Thus, the Symphonization of Folk Song emits another level of transition in Taiwan. The Symphonization of Folk Song can be set into three phases of implementation. The first phase is to increase the amount of recomposition and performance of Taiwanese folk songs. The second phase is to dig into recomposition, and bring the content with deeper meanings and more diversity. The third phase, the reservation of Taiwanese ethnic spirit and combination of Taiwanese customs and cultures could be utilized for the element of music creation of Taiwanese folk songs. It will broaden the concept of Symphonization of Folk Songs in Taiwan.

The development of Taiwanese folk songs comprises not only cultural implication of Taiwan, but also the reflection of social phenomenon. The research of Taiwanese folk songs is the same as Taiwan history research. Through the meaning of those songs, we can comprehend the different ideologies and policies between each authority. In the research, we also can understand there are a lot of difficulties for Taiwanese in pursuing the democracy and seeking the belonging and identification. This research analyzed the Taiwanese folk songs with the political history in the background. There are various types of Taiwanese folk song in the history. For the research, I separate it into 3 periods: the Japanese colonization period (1895-1945), the Martial law period (1946-1986), and the rescind martial law up to the party turn-over period (1987-2000). This essay aims to understand the relevance between the Taiwanese folk songs and the state ruling, including constitutional order and policies. We also try to account for the effect of the state ruling as well as the surveillance and pacification on the society. Following this proposition, this studying can help us to understand the difference between the various regimes’ organization and the cultural policies. What is the figuration of the development of Taiwan society? How the state affects the lives of people? How people question the legitimacy of state and expression their challenge in folk songs?

Plant’s image is an major material of Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs, not only representing the content of Hakka folk culture, but also creating the metaphorical language for Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs. The purpose of such language is to reflect all levels from individual life to the dreams, feelings, and wishes of the whole Taiwan’s Hakka population. From the viewpoint of language performance, the plant’s image of Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs is to explain abstract ideas by metaphorical and structural language, and the function of metaphorical language is based on daily life, so to state partial understandings of abstract ideas. When Taiwan’s Hakka people use plant’s image as metaphorical source materials, they usually focus on the life cycle of plants, especially on blossom and fruit. Because such images are very clear and closely connected to life experiences, so they can generate tight links to the metaphor of lyrics. After analyzing the metaphorical language formed by plant’s image at language cognition level, we found the lyrics of Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs actually reflect all views of traditional Hakka culture, including the emphasized part and the omitted parts. That is, when we look into the two characteristics in plant’s image of Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs: metaphorical language and partial mapping, both of them reflect the thinking logics of Taiwan’s Hakka population, they also reflec the daily activities and decisions of Hakka population. Finally, the plant’s image in Taiwan’s Hakka folk songs reflects the material, spiritual, and social contents of Taiwan’s Hakka folk culture and represents the actual process of Taiwan’s Hakka people in environment adoption and utilization. When Taiwan’s Hakka people choose specific plant’s image to explain abstract ideas, the basis of cognition is strongly affected by the material, spiritual, and social contents of Hakka folk culture.

The purpose of this research is to obtain the life history represented in the form of folk songs via the exploration of the creations of an Amis song-writer, Wu Ze-i. Wu is an Amis indigene who has spent his whole life in his hometown, Tuilik village, Taidong County. Apart from doing farming and fishing as his way of life-surviving, Wu does music accompaniment as a sideline occasionally, and his creation has thus grown. Wu’s inspiration has always been what he has observed close by, especially the changing of time and circumstances that he witnessed. The research first gives a description of the natural region, social and cultural circumstances that have constructed the song-writer’s background. This introduction prepares for the further detailed analysis of Wu’s works and how Amis life history has merged within, analyzed from 5 different aspects as follows: 1. Daily life of Amis indigenes in Tulik. 2. How Wu has displayed in his works the way his tribe people confronted impacts of "the exterior culture" and "the modernization". 3. How Wu’s works have recruited the “deterioration” of the traditional Amis life culture resulted from “the modernization” and “the industrialization.” 4. Whether Wu’s works acquire the quality of “making usual daily life exceptional.” 5. The descriptive style and the sarcastic tone adopted in Wu’s creation. Through profound discussion, it can be seen that in his works, Wu shows his observation his keen sense of social tendency, the transit of his states of mind and the transit of his values. Above all those mentioned, Wu gives us a trace how the life culture of Tulik Amis indigenes has changed. The trace, which consists the “the chain-reaction and the changes” taking place in his time, is the most significant feature of Wu’s creation; the fruit of his creation has meanwhile proved that the transit and integration of culture is inevitable. All the features of Wu’s creation can be recognized in some particular themes, From the overview Wu provides in his works, the vivid images of people constantly trying to accommodate to the unfamiliar exterior impacts could be easily revealed－ Wu’s tribe people have gone through the process of making choices, adjusting values and adapting to the impacts along came with modernization so as to fulfill their material lives and to maintain the basic balance, physical and mental. The unique virtue of Wu’s works, to sum up, is contributed by his illustrative reflection of time and of Amis life culture. On the other side, Wu Ze-i’s works have provided an option of releasing fealings and expressing thoughts for his contemporary tribe people. Added to his contribution as a song-writer, what Wu has persistently pursued while confronted by modernization and industrialization is to revive the deleting traditional Amis culture, to refresh the exhausting minds of his tribe people, and to recover the original spiritual strength inhered in the traditional Amis culture.

Since the ancient times in Taiwanese history, the migration of the Hakka ancestors was usually along the natural environment that had a close relationship with the mountain, which also provided lots of chances for them to study the climate changes. Therefore, since that time they understand the climate and cultivation of tea and crops, etc. and thus developed a thrift-working spirit. As the Hakka ancestors live in the mountain, they often sing Hakka folk songs in order to reduce the tediousness and fatigue which come from works, and the Hakka folk songs become an important spiritual food for them. Watching the “Hakka tea-picking opera” and “Group performance of trick” are the best entertainment for the ordinary people in Hakka country life. Moving house is very ordinary after the marriage of Hakka couple. Whenever there is a party, people will celebrate with each other by eating millet cake and singing folk songs, this is the best way to recall their life scene of their hometown in the past. A folk song contains 7 words, 4 sentences and 8 sections that there are 28 words in each section. Moreover, each sentence in the section is formatted with phrases by four and three words separately. Each sentence should be symmetric, meaningful to link up and rhythmic, otherwise, it cannot become a Hakka folk song. Words inserted outside melodic form prescribed in a poem, lots of ingenious skills on sound, including linking, turning, pulling and dragging of sound, can produce a sweet and agreeable Hakka folk song.

Research on Rhythms of Hakka Folk Songs Rhythms of Hakka folk songs contain two fields: literature and music. We can explore the beauty of literature as well as music of Hakka folk songs via the combination of literature and music. The current research trend is interdisciplinary explorations. Although music and literature are different fields, they can mutually annotate through the perspective of “rhymes” owing to the base of the variation of rhythms, showing their common essence of art. The dissertation contains nine chapters. The first chapter is introduction, describing the motivation and the purpose of the study, the scope and the methodology of the study, as well as previous research. The second chapter is the origin and the development of Hakka folk songs, containing the definition of Hakka folk songs, the origin of Hakka folk songs, the legend of the origin of legend and the research profiles of Hakka folk songs. The third chapter is the definition of rhyme, including the overview of rhyme, the performance of rhythm in language and the performance of rhythm in music. The forth chapter is the phonological rhythm of Hakka folk songs, discussing four aspects: rhythmic arrangement, the difference of level and oblique tones, the forms of syllables, and the analysis of rhyme of the elements of syllables. The fifth chapter is the rhythm of rhetorical figures of Hakka folk songs, describing rhyme forming via adding characters, rhyme forming via reducing characters, rhyme forming via repeating characters, and rhyme forming via the variation of character order. The sixth chapter is the structure of rhyme of Hakka folk songs, including structure overview, the performance of the rhythm of structure of Hakka folk songs, and the meaning of the rhythm of structure of Hakka folk songs.

The ninth chapter is conclusions. The conclusions of the dissertation are as follows: Rhythms in all fields share some characteristics in common: a certain period of time, periodicity and repetitions. The rhythmic arrangement of Hakka folk songs is mainly end rhymes. Among them, the first, second and forth sentences rhyme most. Rhyming every sentence contains the most intensive rhythm. Rhyming the first and forth sentence seems to be weak and contains less obvious rhythm. The effects on the rhythm of rhetorical figures are mainly “adding characters, reducing characters, repeating characters and changing character order” which cause the effects of rhythm variation of rapidity and relaxation of language. “Structural unit” of easy rhythm does the most displacement on structure. Finding out phrase structure and music section contain regular and repeated rhythm, same with the rhythm of rhetorical figures and structure rhythm from musical form. Key words: Hakka folk songs, rhythm, rhetorical figures, structure, tune

Abstract:
This thesis describes how illuweet or teasing cousin songs are an expression of King Island Inupiaq identity. It is based upon ten months of intermittent participation observation and fieldwork. In the summer of 1991, my uncle, Alex Allughuk Muktoyuk, began teaching Inupiaq songs and dances to a group of displaced Inupiat living in Tacoma, Washington. Of the eleven songs that he taught this group, six had occurred between illuweet or teasing cousins. However, a review of the literature on Inupiaq songs rarely mentioned these kinds of songs. By reviewing the literature on ethnic identity, Inupiaq family relations and Inupiaq song and humor, it is concluded that my uncle taught these six songs as a way to express his King Island Inupiaq identity and of proving his connection to the community from which he has been separated for approximately 30 years.
