Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring its rich and multifaceted tradition, this recollection details the functions and place of the fiddle in society using a variety of untapped resources, such as poetry by lesser-known writers, newspaper accounts, oral legends, and works of art. Starting with the introduction of the instrument in the latter part of the 17th century, this examination discusses fiddling at fairs and in processions, blind fiddlers, the lost art of singing while playing, fiddlers’ roles at weddings, and the legends about their connection to Scotland fairies. Music for 50 fiddling tunes is included, a number of which have been culled from historical or archival sources and are rarely found in present-day repertoires.

This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis James Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads, published in ten parts from 1882 to 1898, contained the texts and variants of 305 extant themes written down between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries. Unsurpassed in its presentation of texts, this exhaustive collection devoted little attention to the ballad music, a want that was filled by Bertrand Harris Bronson in his four volume Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads. The present book is an abridged, one-volume edition of that work, setting forth music and text for proven examples of oral tradition, with a new comprehensive introduction. Its convenient format makes readily available to students and scholars the materials for a study of the Child ballads as they have been preserved in the British-American singing tradition. Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
