Body Count de Susan O Friedman

Body Count

Autor Susan O Friedman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2016
Child ballads are those long, bloody songs where everyone dies, right? Half of the ballads do kill off at least one person, usually violently. A ship sinks, a regiment is slain in war, a man kills his pregnant lover, a brother kills his brother or sister, a father kills his daughter, someone dies by poisoning, childbirth, starvation, drowning or plague. In Body Count, Dr. Friedman explores all of the Child ballads that involve death in some form (actual or threatened), quoting lines from the Child and Bronson collections to uncover what happened and why.

Notă biografică

Dr. Susan O. Friedman is a retired academic in a field far removed from music. As a child, she sang in Girl Scouts and at summer camp without knowing that most of the songs were "folk music." In the early 1960s, her father began to bring home records of Harry Belafonte, the Clancy Brothers, and Joan Baez. Susan fell in love with ballads from hearing Joan Baez sing some of them. In college and later, there was usually at least one song circle in which she could participate. With her partner, Dick Greenhaus, Susan started the Digital Tradition, a database with the lyrics to 11,000 folksongs, and tunes to about half of them, in 1988. Initially distributed on floppy discs, it was posted on the internet a few years later, initially on a Xerox site and then at Mudcat.org since the mid-1990s. She has also assisted with Dick's company CAMSCO Music, initially selling traditional folk music CDs and now concentrating on book publishing.
