Now available in paperback, this fully illustrated volume traces
the emergence of Welsh traditional music through the ages and is
complemented throughout with more than 200 musical examples.
Phyllis Kinney's Welsh Traditional Music covers the traditional
music of Wales from its beginnings through to the present day,
providing musical analysis and placing its material firmly into a
social and historical context. Among the many different forms of
Welsh traditional music discussed are seasonal music (including
wassail songs, Christmas and May carols and Plygain carols), folk
drama, ballad-singing, the relevance of the eisteddfod and the
musical journals of the nineteenth century. Additionally, the book
includes a history of song collecting from the eighteenth century
to the establishment and ongoing activities of the Welsh Folk-Song
Society in the twentieth; both the instrumental and the vocal
traditions are examined, as well as the uniquely Welsh tradition of
'cerdd dant'. This is a work of pioneering scholarship that
accounts for Welsh traditional music within the context of a
greater Welsh musical tradition.
