GUEST,Brian Daniels Trad music reading recommendations (15) Folklore: Trad music reading recommendations 26 Nov 09


Hoping to accumulate a long winter reading list..

What are some good books to read about:

The history and origins of traditional tunes.

The migration of traditional music to North America and it's evolution into various regional styles.

Celtic music and it's various regional styles..i.e comparing/contrasting music from Brittany or Italy to music in Scottland or Ireland.

Traditional Music in a New England or "Yankee" context.

Contemporary "traditional" music and how modern culture has changed it, i.e the impact of recorded music, the relative ease of travel, or even the internet, on how traditional music is played.
