Australian Folk Song

This sequel to the Lomaxes' widely acclaimed American Ballads and Folk Songs includes melodies and words for tunes from all parts of the country. Songs include spirituals, hollers, game songs, lullabies, courting songs, chain-gang work songs, Cajun airs, breakdowns, and many more. Judith Tick, a scholar and award-winning author, provides a new fact-filled Introduction; notes on tune origins, two indexes, and an extensive bibliography round out this archive of some 200 authentic folk songs and ballads.

This collection of German songs contains two strains of tradition: the political song and the folk song. It is not always clear where the distinction between the two can be drawn, since many political songs become folk songs due to their popularity, and many folk songs have a clear, emancipatory - and thus political - dimension. But the main criterion for inclusion in this anthology is the popularity a song has enjoyed, either down through the centuries or more recently, in German-speaking or non-German-speaking countries. The addition of scores is another plus, offering an opportunity to recognize the songs musically.

Changing Folk Music Protest U.S.A Voice - Changing Folk Music Protest U.S.A Voice Turn! Turn! Turn The early-1960s advent of the Beatles did more than change the face of rock music--it forced many folk musicians to rethink their careers, abandoning the gentle, mild-mannered protest songs they'd grown accustomed to performing throughout much of the preceding decade. These musicians' adaptations of the raucous new sounds quickly became a force unto themselves; lyrics, too, grew more strident, while retaining their socially conscious core. Folk- ...
