DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Check-List of Recorded Songs in the English Language in the Archive of American Folk Song to July, 1940: Alphabetical List With Geographical Index, A-K This checklist has been prepared as a result of the countless requests for such a catalog of the contents of the Archive of American Folk Song. Its appearance at this time is indeed appropriate since it is natural for a nation at War to try to evaluate and exploit to the fullest its own cultural heritage. In our folk song may be found some of the well springs of national feeling and many of the profoundest currents that have run through American history. A more glance at the titles listed here will be sufficient to show the variety and complexity of the demo cratic life of our country. The Library hopes that this catalog will prove useful to the many who are interested in utilizing the folkloris tic resources of our nation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first publication of an annotated monograph by the noted composer and folksong scholar Ruth Crawford Seeger. Originally written as a foreword for the 1940 book Our Singing Country, it was considered too long and was replaced by a much shorter version. According to her stepson, Pete Seeger, when the original was not included "Ruth suffered one of the biggest disappointments of the last ten years of her life. It just killed her . . . She was trying to analyze the whole style and problem of performing this music." Along with her children Mike and Peggy Seeger, he has long desired to see this work in print as it was meant to be read. The manuscript has been edited from several varying sources by Larry Polansky, with the assistance of Seeger's biographer Judith Tick. It is divided into two sections: I. "A Note on Transcription" and II. "Notes on the Songs and on Manners of Singing." Seeger examines all aspects of the relationship between singer, song, notation, the eventual performer, and the transcriber. In Section I, Seeger develops a complex and well-organized system of notation for these songs which is meant to be both descritive (transcription as cultural preservation) and prescriptive (she intended that others would be able to perform these songs). In Section II, she provides an interpretive theory for performance of this music, and suggests how performers might make the songs "their own" through a deep knowledge of the original styles. Ruth Crawford Seeger considered this work to be both a major accomplishment and a central statement of her own ideas on the topic. Larry Polansky is Associate Professor of Music at Dartmouth College, and a well-known composer and theorist on American music. Judith Tick is Professor of Music at Northeastern University and author of the first major biography of Ruth Crawford Seeger.
