Download or read book Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads written by and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1938-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two hundred songs, some with music, whose lyrics depict life in the old West. It is now four or five years since my attention was called to the collection of native American ballads from the Southwest, already begun by Professor Lomax. At that time, he seemed hardly to appreciate their full value and importance. To my colleague, Professor G.L. Kittredge, probably the most eminent authority on folk-song in America, this value and importance appeared as indubitable as it appeared to me. We heartily joined in encouraging the work, as a real contribution both to literature and to learning. The present volume is the first published result of these efforts. The value and importance of the work seems to me double. One phase of it is perhaps too highly special ever to be popular. Whoever has begun the inexhaustibly fascinating study of popular song and literature—of the nameless poetry which vigorously lives through the centuries—must be perplexed by the necessarily conjectural opinions concerning its origin and development held by various and disputing scholars. When songs were made in times and terms which for centuries have been not living facts but facts of remote history or tradition, it is impossible to be sure quite how they begun, and by quite what means they sifted through the centuries into the forms at last securely theirs, in the final rigidity of print. In this collection of American ballads, almost if not quite uniquely, it is possible to trace the precise manner in which songs and cycles of song—obviously analogous to those surviving from older and antique times—have come into being. The facts which are still available concerning the ballads of our own Southwest are such as should go far to prove, or to disprove, many of the theories advanced concerning the laws of literature as evinced in the ballads of the old world. Such learned matter as this, however, is not so surely within my province, who have made no technical study of literary origins, as is the other consideration which made me feel, from my first knowledge of these ballads, that they are beyond dispute valuable and important. In the ballads of the old world, it is not historical or philological considerations which most readers care for. It is the wonderful, robust vividness of their artless yet supremely true utterance; it is the natural vigor of their surgent, unsophisticated human rhythm. It is the sense, derived one can hardly explain how, that here is expression straight from the heart of humanity; that here is something like the sturdy root from which the finer, though not always more lovely, flowers of polite literature have sprung. At times when we yearn for polite grace, ballads may seem rude; at times when polite grace seems tedious, sophisticated, corrupt, or mendacious, their very rudeness refreshes us with a new sense of brimming life. To compare the songs collected by Professor Lomax with the immortalities of olden time is doubtless like comparing the literature of America with that of all Europe together. Neither he nor any of us would pretend these verses to be of supreme power and beauty. None the less, they seem to me, and to many who have had a glimpse of them, sufficiently powerful, and near enough beauty, to give us some such wholesome and enduring pleasure as comes from work of this kind proved and acknowledged to be masterly.
Book Synopsis Git Along, Little Dogies by : John I. White
Download or read book Git Along, Little Dogies written by John I. White and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former singing cowboy himself, John I. White spent decades compiling information on cowboy and western songs and the artists, songwriters, and others attached to them. He also sought out and corresponded with a who's who of the genre, people like Badger Clark, Curley Fletcher, D. J. O'Malley, Romaine Lowdermilk, Will Barnes, Joseph Mills Hanson, and Owen Wister. In Git Along, Little Dogies, White draws on old friendships and his exhaustive files to bring readers the untold story of cowboy and western song. Wonderful anecdotes stand beside White's trademark attention to detail as he painstakingly establishes the time, place, and circumstance behind each song's origin and places the music within the evolution of popular song. He also looks at how radio and recording affected the genre and shows how the music crisscrossed with pop music but also with folk and the traditional Anglo-Irish tradition. From "Whoopee Ti Yi Yo" to "Ten Thousand Cattle Straying," Git Along, Little Dogies ventures from cow camps to saloons to big-city radio studios as it lassos a vivid piece of American music history.

Book Synopsis Early Cowboy Songs and Musical Culture in the American West, 1870-1920 by : Joanna Ray Zattiero
Download or read book Early Cowboy Songs and Musical Culture in the American West, 1870-1920 written by Joanna Ray Zattiero and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on existing musicological study of popular song culture of the Western United States from roughly 1870 to 1920, as well as work on folk music, folklore and literary studies, genre studies, cultural history, and my own archival research, this dissertation examines the role of cowboy music within the larger realm of popular and folk songs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the musical culture of the Western United States. While no formal definition of cowboy music currently exists within musicological scholarship, I propose defining it broadly as the music that cowboys (and cowgirls) composed, performed, and consumed and that directly related topically to the cowboy lifestyle in the Western United States between mid to late nineteenth century and mid twentieth century. Careful consideration is given to the nature of the cowboy working tradition in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While there is no single defining characteristic of the trade, many specific elements such as herding livestock from horseback, developing horsemanship and general ranch maintenance skills all prove to be integral to identifying a formal archetype. The musical backgrounds and experiences of individual cowboy poet-songwriters are also considered, as well as the popular music culture of the American West during the period, highlighting the ubiquity of music in the lives of many working cowboys and the many situations in which they may have encountered it. Prior scholarship suggests that the nineteenth century cowboy song tradition was weak overall, including few original songs and melodies and unlikely to have been an active part of the cowboy lifestyle. I argue that not only is there a strong historical narrative surrounding this tradition, but that there are numerous examples of cowboy songs, often with unique texts and melodies, created in the fifty years between 1870 and 1920. These examples include songs published in local and regional newspapers and trade journals, songs published in collections of folk and cowboy music, and songs referenced in cowboy biographies, autobiographies, and other non-fiction literature. Far from weak or inauthentic, nineteenth and early twentieth century cowboy songs are part of a vibrant and active musical tradition that developed alongside the cattle industry boom of the 1870s -1880s and has remained an integral part of cowboy culture ever since. As it has yet to receive much direct attention by musicologists, I argue that cowboy music is its own sub-genre within popular music and is an important area for exploration. The work of Keith Negus, Fabian Holt, and David Brackett on genre in music help to inform my classification of cowboy music, although genre, style, and the entire project of musical classification is fraught with pitfalls. Negus, Holt, and Brackett's work all point to earlier genre study, particularly in film and literary studies, and consider such ideas as "genre worlds" and "genre cultures" as well as historical, theoretical, and abstract genres. Through consideration of genre formation, genre classification, and genre's influence on canon formation, I have endeavored to classify cowboy music within the larger web of American popular and folk music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I am hopeful that this effort will provide a solid foundation from which further research can build an even more nuanced understanding of the development of early cowboy songs and the role that they have and continue to play in the expressive culture of the American West
Download or read book Country Music written by Dayton Duncan and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and colorful story of America's most popular music and the singers and songwriters who captivated, entertained, and consoled listeners throughout the twentieth century--based on the upcoming eight-part film series to air on PBS in September 2019 This gorgeously illustrated and hugely entertaining history begins where country music itself emerged: the American South, where people sang to themselves and to their families at home and in church, and where they danced to fiddle tunes on Saturday nights. With the birth of radio in the 1920s, the songs moved from small towns, mountain hollers, and the wide-open West to become the music of an entire nation--a diverse range of sounds and styles from honky tonk to gospel to bluegrass to rockabilly, leading up through the decades to the music's massive commercial success today. But above all, Country Music is the story of the musicians. Here is Hank Williams's tragic honky tonk life, Dolly Parton rising to fame from a dirt-poor childhood, and Loretta Lynn turning her experiences into songs that spoke to women everywhere. Here too are interviews with the genre's biggest stars, including the likes of Merle Haggard to Garth Brooks to Rosanne Cash. Rife with rare photographs and endlessly fascinating anecdotes, the stories in this sweeping yet intimate history will captivate longtime country fans and introduce new listeners to an extraordinary body of music that lies at the very center of the American experience.
