Fintan Vallely: Companion to Irish Traditional Music
Description
\"The Companion to Irish Traditional Music\" is a landmark, easy to use A-Z format for studying, exploring and researching one of Ireland\'s most universally recognisable cultural expressions. Among the existing publications on Irish traditional music there are works of monumental initiative and deservedly enduring status. But the radical development in this music scene since the 1960s mark it now as an established part of Irish cultural life and demand new kinds of information. The commercial side of the music has evolved and consolidated, generating a new set of standards, popular music dynamics and significant music tourism. The music\'s expanding profile within the academic system too has created fresh approaches to playing and study, with a growth of academic research interest, and many major studies published or presently under way. In relevant and accessible ways The Companion uniquely draws together the oldness and newness in all of this: the practice and the study, the aesthetics and the analysis, the competing interests and diverse ideals. The editor Fintan Vallely is himself an accomplished musician and music writer. He has harnessed the expertise of some 200 specialists from all aspects of traditional music, who in more than half a million words and 300 images present the most comprehensive image of Irish traditional music ever assembled. This detailed mosaic is coloured by history, ideology, scholarship, virtuosity, romance, satisfaction, pride and internationalism, all appropriately flagged by the cover\'s use of Maclise\'s fabulously energetic \"Snap Apple Night\". This second edition is not only revised but also greatly expanded, and has much new information, including material never before printed and unavailable elsewhere.

This commentary and analysis is linked to an historical timeline which spans three millennia, and a publications listing that covers three centuries. Six hundred biographies detail the human endeavour of the field, documenting significant musicians, commentators, historians, promoters and composers, and extended entries cover major themes such as song, dance, education and the elements of style. \"The Companion to Irish Traditional Music\" is a key reference for the interested enthusiast, session player and professional performer.

Ugly as sin, the ugly duckling or maybe you fell out of the ugly tree? Let s face it, we ve all used the word ugly to describe someone we ve seen hopefully just in our private thoughts but have we ever considered how slippery the term can be, indicating anything from the slightly unsightly to the downright revolting? What really lurks behind this most favored insult? In this actually beautiful book, Gretchen E. Henderson casts an unfazed gaze at ugliness, tracing its long-standing grasp on our cultural imagination and highlighting all the peculiar ways it has attracted us to its repulsion.
