For an instrument whose origins date back to the 16th Century, the stirring sound of the violin plays a huge part in music being composed and played this very moment. From classical to country, from jazz to rock and even rap, the violin has always been a popular choice for the versatile virtuoso. One of the millions of people who have drawn a bow across the strings of the violin was an English polymath, writer, scientist, and all-around fascinating man Edward Heron-Allen. His love of the violin led to a friendship with renowned violin maker Georges Chanot III, and to a lifelong obsession with crafting the perfect instrument. A true Renaissance man, Edward Heron-Allen published this tribute to his favorite musical instrument over 130 years ago and, like the violin, it's still an unrivaled classic. Whether you're a fresh-faced music student, a classically trained maestro, or if you simply enjoy fiddling along on the front porch, this guide offers: - An in-depth look at the history of the violin - A fascinating, and often surprising, discussion of the materials that make up the violin - A step-by-step guide to constructing your own violin - from selecting the materials to playing that very first note

Inscrit en 2021 au Patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’Unesco, le moutya des Seychelles est défini comme une pratique chantée, tambourinée et dansée issue du contexte esclavagiste, dont on peut repérer des traces à partir de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle.Cet ouvrage, fruit de plusieurs terrains menés dans les années 2010, propose une première analyse systémique du moutya. Il invite à revisiter son histoire et ses développements en tant que mode d’expression créole et décrit le moutya dit « authentique », une notion associée à la genèse d’un processus de patrimonialisation entamé au tournant de la Révolution de 1977. Les espaces contemporains de production et de diffusion des musiques aux Seychelles ont également été abordés afin de faire ressortir la place accordée au moutya et ses modalités d’expression et de ne pas le figer dans une forme fixe ou idéale dont on craindrait la perte ou l’oubli.Le moutya est alors envisagé en tant que forme relationnelle, dans laquelle la négociation des transferts d’une identité musicale à l’autre va jusqu’à construire de nouvelles identités. Cette démarche permet de le mettre en relation avec d’autres phénomènes culturels, notamment créoles.Ainsi, bien qu’il ait été institutionnalisé à des fins nationalistes, il continue d’être l’expression d’une culture en transition, en transformation, toujours en quête de repères identitaires.

In 1951, musician Kenneth Peacock (1922–2000) secured a contract from the National Museum of Canada (today the Canadian Museum of History) to collect folksongs in Newfoundland. As the province had recently joined Confederation, the project was deemed a goodwill gesture, while at the same time adding to the Museum’s meager Anglophone archival collections. Between 1951 and 1961, over the course of six field visits, Peacock collected 766 songs and melodies from 118 singers in 38 communities, later publishing two-thirds of this material in a three-volume collection, Songs of the Newfoundland Outports (1965). As the publication consists of over 1000 pages, Outports is considered to be a bible for Newfoundland singers and a valuable resource for researchers. However, Peacock’s treatment of the material by way of tune-text collations, use of lines and stanzas from unpublished songs has always been somewhat controversial. Additionally, comparison of the field collection with Outports indicates that although Peacock acquired a range of material, his personal preferences requently guided his publishing agenda. To ensure that the songs closely correspond to what the singers presented to Peacock, the collection has been prepared by drawing on Peacock’s original music and textual notes and his original field recordings. The collection is far-ranging and eclectic in that it includes British and American broadsides, musical hall and vaudeville material alongside country and western songs, and local compositions. It also highlights the influence of popular media on the Newfoundland song tradition and contextualizes a number of locally composed songs. In this sense, it provides a key link between what Peacock actually recorded and the material he eventually published. As several of the songs have not previously appeared in the standard Newfoundland collections, The Forgotten Songs sheds new light on the extent of Peacock’s collecting. The collection includes 125 songs arranged under 113 titles along with extensive notes on the songs, and brief biographies of the 58 singers. Thanks to the Research Centre for the Study of Music Media and Place, a video of the launch event, held in St.John's, Newfoundland, is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghj6E6-QiLI&t=21s.Published in English.
