...David “Davy” Crockett David Crockett was a frontiersman, folk hero, congressman, and Alamo defender. He was one of the most celebrated and mythologized figures in history. His biographers often said there were two David Crockett’s; David, the congressman and frontiersman and Davy, “the larger-than-life” folk hero. For this reason, he appeared in many books and a series of almanacs. Davy was a loving father, son, and husband. Even though he did not have much success as a congressman, he still had an impact in the wars. Davy was born on August 17, 1786, in East Tennessee around the Nolichucky River. He was the fifth child out of nine. His mother was Rebecca and his father was John Crockett....

...the term singer-songwriter describes a distinct form of artistry, closely associated with the folk-acoustic tradition. Singer-songwriters often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano; both the compositions and the arrangements are written primarily as solo vehicles, with the material angled toward topical issues—sometimes political, sometimes introspective, sensitive, romantic, and confessional.

After the invention of printing, songs would be written and performed by ballad sellers. Usually these would be versions of existing tunes and lyrics, which were constantly evolving. This developed into the singer-songwriting traditions of folk culture. Traveling performers existed throughout Europe. Thus, the folklorist Anatole Le Braz gives...

...General info The history of music in Iceland has no parallel in other European countries, or, probably, anywhere else in the world. In Iceland the music of the "Middle Ages" predominated well into the nineteenth century. Due to Iceland's isolation, centuries of musical development on the European continent had gone by unnoticed. Even ordinary four-part choral singing was first heard in the fifth decade of the 19th century. Instrumental music, in the usual sense of that term, was non-existent. When the "new" music finally found its way to Iceland, the population, with certain exceptions, especially as regards church music, proved to be more receptive than might have been expected. Latent creative talent soon emerged, and musical development has been exceedingly rapid in the twentieth century. In the 1980’s Icelandic music was on the world music map with the emergence of artists such as the Sugarcubes. In more recent years Iceland has seen international success of many more artists, such as Sigur Rós. Classical music Jón Leifs (1899-1968) is one of Iceland’s best known classical composer writing many of his works about Icelandic nature which bore titles such as Hekla, Dettifoss and Geysir. The Iceland Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1950 and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has garnered an international reputation as well as cellist Sæunn Þorsteinsdóttir and Daníel Bjarnason, a young classical composer and conductor. Opera The Icelandic...

...photographer, picture-taking is an event in itself, and one with ever more peremptory rights – to interfere with, to invade, or to ignore whatever is going on” (Sontag, 11). Photography narrates the world. A simple photograph can freeze time, halt any moment you please. Photographers have a choice to choose between telling a narrative and expressing art. But when it comes down to it, no matter how complete or comprehensive a narrative appears it will always be the product of including some elements and excluding others based on what the creator wants to be viewed. Inclusion/exclusion is part of what construction is all about, but knowing what is best included or excluded requires an understanding of context. With narrative or art photography events are not found objects waiting to be discovered, they are created, whether by the photographer or the person within the photograph. If it is a live action, journalistic photograph, something led up to that moment in time, it was created. In photography, narrative is related to the idea of context, that is where the photographer comes in and adds their point of view and taste on a subject matter. Ralph Eugene Meatyard uses a narrative format to portray exactly what he wants to be seen in his photographs “Untitled” ca. 1960 and “Romance (N.) from Ambrose Bierce #3” from portfolio 3 ca. 1964. Susan Sontag’s ideas of Plato’s Cave and Allan Sekula’s idea of possible meaning; will relate to what Meatyard is depicting throughout his photographs. He uses...

... 2 The expression "American roots music" may not be well-known to all, and involves some enlightenment. At the start of the 20th Century, the phrase "folk music" was used by scholars to explain music made by the whites of the European ancestry. As the century grew, the meaning of folk music expanded to include the song styles, particularly the blues of Southern blacks. Folk music was viewed as a window into the cultural life of these two groups. Folk songs communicated with people’s hopes, dreams, and sadness of their everyday lives. More and more music was made by other groups of Americans such as Mexican Americans, Native Americans, and Cajuns (Louisiana)." The songs were sung on front porches where families would gather, in churches, in the fields and while rocking children to sleep. The melodies and words were passed down from parent to child. The songs and meanings were often changed to reflect change in times. Knowledge of folk songs and musicians grew, and popular musicians began to draw on folk music as an imaginative source as never before in the 1960s. "Folk music" became a form of popular music by singer/songwriter Bob Dylan, who helped pioneer the acoustic performing style that echoed the society based on folk musicians. Music writers, intellectuals and fans began to look for new ways to describe the different musical styles still being sung and played in communities across America, and not heard on radios. The...

...Tracing Papon’s Fandom- An Autobiographical Sketch -Amlan J. Das M2015MC008 School of Media and Cultural Studies Wikipedia describes him as the founder and the lead singer of the folk fusion band Papon and the East India Company. He has around 37,500 followers on Twitter and 536,434 likes on his Facebook page. Born to legendary Assamese folk singer couple Khagen and Archana Mahanta, the world knows him as Papon while parents named him Angaraag Mahanta. Born on 24th November 1975, Papon crafted himself as one of the finest Assamese singers not just in the state but also across the country. His distinct voice and his selection of alternative Electronic fusion and folk fusion genre made his one of the popular names in the Indian music industry today. Assam has been a land of singer. From the likes of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika to Zubeen Garg, singers from the state have made a very distinct mark in the Indian music industry. But Papon managed to do is differently is that apart from conditioning him to industry conditions, he managed to bring out the Assamese folk culture out of the state. Call it the new age information order, boom of the internet or just chance, but other singers from the state haven’t been successful in doing what this Papon did. Before going deep into the bibliography of Papon, let move tangentially to my first association or my first introduction to this singer. Must have been the summer vacations of 2005, as a fifth grader student ...

...Patti Smith One of the most popular musicians Patti Smith has been American playwright, songwriter, journalist, singer, and poet. The most interestingly, Smith's works have arranged the impacts of American and French writers of the 19th and 20th centuries, and rock musicians of the sixties into impression of her own exclusive and uncommon creations and visions. Moreover, she has been used powerful and unique imagery in her song lyrics and poetry to describe subjects of violence, unjust, anarchy, and religious themes. In consequence, these kind of significant themes of combinations characterizes her art and seems to give Smith her greatest attraction. She was born on December 30, 1946, in Chicago. Patti was a tall, skinny and ailing child, who never seemed a rock star she would become. On the other hand, Smith said, “she always knew that she was destined for greatness”. Therefore, she said "When I was a little kid, I always knew that I had some special kind of thing inside me," she remembered. "I mean, I wasn't attractive, I wasn't very verbal, I wasn't very smart in school. I wasn't anything that showed the world I was something special, but I had this tremendous hope all the time. I had this tremendous spirit that kept me going... I was a happy child, because I had this feeling that I was going to go beyond my body physical... I just knew it" (Biography.com Editors, 2015). Furthermore, she attended Deptford High School, a racially integrated high school, and then went to college...

...THEME AND NARRATIVE ELEMENTS IN THE SHORT STORY BY __________________________ COURSE NAME/# PROFESSOR NAME DATE DUE, 2012 This analysis is a response to my exploration of the short story Little Red Riding Hood as featured in Journey Into Literature by R.W. Clugston, (2010, Ch. 4.1). The story is actually an ancient fable told in the oral tradition (basically French folk lore) that was written nearly 315 years ago by a writer named Charles Perrault in Paris. The identity of the original author is unknown, although it has been re-written and re-interpreted many, many times by others all over the world. The most popular version of the piece appeared in Perrault’s collection of fairy tales penned under the pseudonym, Mother Goose. Later in the mid-twentieth century, Walt Disney created an American re-telling of the famous Mother Goose story, but reworked it by adding the character of the Huntsman who intervenes and kills the wolf, saving the girl from the grip of Death. The reason for its success and worldwide popularity, I believe, lies in the story’s universal themes: a uniquely human expression of the dangerous interaction between good and evil. Culturally, this theme is extremely adaptable, and malleable to suit many peoples’ values. The story’s narration is done by an omniscient third-person whose voice and tone, in my opinion, reflect a sort of cool distance: a disinterested teller of cautionary tales. For example, the matter-of-fact way the murders are introduced...

...Unit 2 Narrative Assignment Lourena Dent Kaplan University HU300 – 10 The Tortoise and the Hare: Slow and Steady Wins the Race Steadiness, although progress may be slow, will eventually be more beneficial than being rushed or careless just to get something completed. Mythical stories, fairy tales, and fables have been among the collective unconscious told and passed down for generations to teach the listener/reader morals. The link between the stories and person being told help them understand situations that can lead to a victorious outcome. With determination, one can succeed at almost anything. Our earliest encounters with literature, the stories told or read to us, probably influenced our expectations of later life (Janaro & Altshuler, 2012, p. 56). A well known fable by Aesop, “The Tortoise and the Hare”, is a story that supports the importance of consistency and consequences of arrogance. The fable tells of a hare that boasted about his speed to others. There was a wise tortoise that he repeatedly teased about being very slow. The tortoise became fed up with the hare’s arrogance and challenged the hare to race against him. Both animals agree to a race, and at the start the hare races ahead while the tortoise slowly plows forward. With the tortoise moving so slow the hare was sure a nap wouldn’t jeopardize his chance to beat the tortoise. Waking from a short nap, the hare begins running while leaving the tortoise behind moving at a slow but steady pace. Observing...
