Book Synopsis Dictionary of Cape Breton English by : William John Davey
Download or read book Dictionary of Cape Breton English written by William John Davey and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biff and whiff, baker’s fog and lu’sknikn, pie social and milling frolic – these are just a few examples of the distinctive language of Cape Breton Island, where a puck is a forceful blow and a Cape Breton pork pie is filled with dates, not pork. The first regional dictionary devoted to the island’s linguistic and cultural history, the Dictionary of Cape Breton English is a fascinating record of the island’s rich vocabulary. Dictionary entries include supporting quotations culled from the editors’ extensive interviews with Cape Bretoners and considerable study of regional variation, as well as definitions, selected pronunciations, parts of speech, variant forms, related words, sources, and notes, giving the reader in-depth information on every aspect of Cape Breton culture. A substantial and long-awaited work of linguistic research that captures Cape Breton’s social, economic, and cultural life through the island’s language, the Dictionary of Cape Breton English can be read with interest by Backlanders, Bay byes, and those from away alike.
Book Synopsis The Highland Bagpipe by : Dr Joshua Dickson
Download or read book The Highland Bagpipe written by Dr Joshua Dickson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highland bagpipe, widely considered 'Scotland's national instrument', is one of the most recognized icons of traditional music in the world. It is also among the least understood. But Scottish bagpipe music and tradition - particularly, but not exclusively, the Highland bagpipe - has enjoyed an unprecedented surge in public visibility and scholarly attention since the 1990s. A greater interest in the emic led to a diverse picture of the meaning and musical iconicism of the bagpipe in communities in Scotland and throughout the Scottish diaspora. This interest has led to the consideration of both the globalization of Highland piping and piping as rooted in local culture. It has given rise to a reappraisal of sources which have hitherto formed the backbone of long-standing historical and performative assumptions. And revivalist research which reassesses Highland piping's cultural position relative to other Scottish piping traditions, such as that of the Lowlands and Borders, today effectively challenges the notion of the Highland bagpipe as Scotland's 'national' instrument. The Highland Bagpipe provides an unprecedented insight into the current state of Scottish piping studies. The contributors – from Scotland, England, Canada and the United States – discuss the bagpipe in oral and written history, anthropology, ethnography, musicology, material culture and modal aesthetics. The book will appeal to ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, as well as those interested in international bagpipe studies and traditions.

Book Synopsis The Pipes of War - A Record of Achievements of Piduring the War 1914-18 by : , John Grant - Bruce Seton
Download or read book The Pipes of War - A Record of Achievements of Piduring the War 1914-18 written by , John Grant - Bruce Seton and published by anboco. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This record of the achievements of pipers during the war of 1914-18 is not intended to be an appeal to emotionalism. It aims at showing that, in spite of the efforts of a very efficient enemy to prevent individual gallantry, in spite of the physical conditions of the modern battlefield, the pipes of war, the oldest instrument in the world, have played an even greater part in the orchestra of battle in this than they have in past campaigns. The piper, be he Highlander, or Lowlander, or Scot from Overseas, has accomplished the impossible—not rarely and under favourable conditions, but almost as a matter of routine; and to him not Scotland only but the British Empire owes more than they have yet appreciated. In doing so he has sacrificed himself; and Scotland—and the world—must face the fact that a large proportion of the men who played the instrument and kept alive the old traditions have completed their self-imposed task. With 500 pipers killed and 600 wounded something must be done to raise a new generation of players; it is a matter of national importance that this should be taken in hand at once, and that the sons of those who have gone should follow in the footsteps of their fathers...
Book Synopsis Canntaireachd Collection Volume 1 by : Lindsay Davidson
Download or read book Canntaireachd Collection Volume 1 written by Lindsay Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piobaireachd, ceol mor, is a beautiful and fascinating tradition for those who have the patience to study, sing and play it. This is a type of music which truly displays the grandeur and power of a highland bagpipe.This is not a collection of music for beginners or the uninitiated; it is intended as a handy booklet to remind experienced pipers of tunes they know and to provoke thinking about interpretation when learning new tunes. It can, however, be used as an instructional aid and reference book for those bringing new initiates into the realm of piobaireachd.Most piobaireachd collections are by tradition large format and heavy books which do not fit well into pipe cases or hand luggage. It is hoped the small format of this book will enable pipers to remind themselves of their competition or recital tunes en route to the event, and be handy whilst there.For those who use canntaireachd in their daily lives, accessing tunes purely through this medium is logical and indeed desirable. It is with this in mind that a new tune has been included here alongside old, well-known and lesser-known classics.
Book Synopsis The Poet's Ogam: A Living Magical Tradition by : John-Paul Patton
Download or read book The Poet's Ogam: A Living Magical Tradition written by John-Paul Patton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poet's Ogam is a creative exploration of the Ogam, based on a 17-year study by Irish author John-Paul Patton. The text explores the historical context of Ogam and the relationship between Ogam, poetry and the Gaelic harp. It contains a range of comparative studies between Ogam and the Kabbalah, Runes, I Ching and other systems. The text also presents original creations of an Ogam calendar, a divination system, and a reconstruction of Fidchell (the ancient Irish chess game) based on Ogam. The text further includes a system of Gaelic martial arts based on an elemental Ogam framework, magical Ogam squares, Ogam pentacles and much more, that fill this Tour de Force of contemporary Ogam study and use. The Poet's Ogam carries on the Art and Science of the Filid-the Philosopher Poets who created and developed the Ogam and is a must for anyone with an interest in Celtic spirituality and magick. John-Paul Patton is generally recognised as a leading authority in Ireland of esoteric Ogam studies.
