Collecting Music in the Aran Islands: A Century of History and Practice
Autor Deirdre Ní Chonghaileen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 oct 2022
Collecting Music in the Aran Islands, a critical historiographical study of the practice of documenting traditional music, is the first to focus on the archipelago off the west coast of Ireland. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile argues for a culturally equitable framework that considers negotiation, collaboration, canonization, and marginalization to fully understand the immensely important process of musical curation. In presenting four substantial, historically valuable collections from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, she illustrates how understanding the motivations and training (or lack thereof) of individual music collectors significantly informs how we should approach their work and contextualize their place in the folk music canon.

Recenzii
“A fascinating insight into nearly 120 years of musical culture on the Aran Islands.”
"A most remarkable book. . . . One of the most important and fascinating books about Irish traditional music in recent memory. Research like this is hard to conceive of in the first place, but realizing it with such skill and sensitivity is a different thing all together. This book is very, very highly recommended to fans of traditional music, but it should be read by anyone who has any interest in understanding the music's history. Top shelf stuff."
"an exemplary study... a feat of research."
"Elegantly written... rapping more than a few sacred knuckles... it jolts the reader into modernizing their strict view of Irish singing culture."
“Elegant and eloquent. . . . A tremendous achievement as a scholarly investigation into the collecting of songs and music on Aran.”
“A pioneering, masterful work. . . . [Ní Chonghaile’s] adroit treatment of the music, its makers and its collectors provide a vivid sense of people, place and time. She has brought them in from the cold.”
“[An] exemplary work of historical scholarship. . . . A profoundly important and welcome celebration.”
“As a measured, critical, and deep historiography of collecting in the region, this work has no equal. For musicians and scholars of the materials being examined, it is normal to look through the lens of the collector rather than squarely at the collector. Collecting Music in the Aran Islands offers a valuable and necessary corrective to us all; it reinforces the importance of understanding who is doing the collecting, transcribing, translating, and notating, so that the materials can be most usefully contextualized.”
“Ní Chonghaile’s expertise in both musical scholarship and the Irish language adds value to her innovative contribution. Singers, musicians, and collectors emerge in their full humanity, their emotional attachment to their culture clearly apparent.”
“A compelling and highly original study of Irish traditional music collecting. No author has previously undertaken such a comprehensive local study of music collections in Ireland, locating them both in terms of Irish cultural and wider disciplinary history. This is a major contribution.”
