	Deutsches Lied - Germania Records & Archives - The German folksong
		By means of his folksong collection "Voices of nations in song" in the second half of the 18th Century, he made a huge contribution toward a deeper understanding of cultural characteristics of a people.
		Folksongs are not a lost cultural heritage of past centuries, but creations of individual poets and composers who managed to reflect and capture widespread feelings, thought, and deeds that were common to the people of their time and with which the majority identified themselves.
		Our folksongs must not be let to slumber in collections, they must be — as they always were — connected to the steady flow of life - and that can only happen when a people start to sing their own songs again.

	Folksong
		Folksong is a verbal expression of ideas or feelings of individuals or folk group, in musical and poetic manner.
		The term folksong is often used to characterize song that is traditional, orally composed through the use of memorized oral formulas.
		Folksong is mainly realized through performance in specific context, with more emphasis on face-to-face communication and interaction between the singer and the audience.

		Folksong had an undeniably strong influence on him, and he in turn had a strong influence on its preservation and its elevation into a musical genre worthy of serious academic investigation.
		Folksongs such as the Skandinavian, Faeroe Island, British and Irish ones are NEVER sung with any kind of harmonic accompaniment by the folksingers themselves -- the country-folk who have passed the songs on from generation to generation.
		And most lovers of folksong will agree that a folksong never sounds so well as when it is sung, wholly without harmony, by a genuine folksinger.

	M. Sorce Keller - The Problem of Classification in Folksong Research...
		The problem of folksong classification has been extensively dealt with in the ethnomusicological literature since the beginnings of the discipline in the late nineteenth century.
		Looking back at the history of folksong scholarship one can see that the criteria used for classification throughout the whole nineteenth century were solely based on the literary content of the text.
		The history of folksong classification seems to prove the great difficulty of devising a methodology that can be applicable to several repertoires on a cross-cultural basis.

	Philadelphia Folksong Society History
		The Philadelphia Folksong Society was born in the back room of the Gilded Cage Coffeehouse at 21st and Rittenhouse.
		The Folksong Society's community outreach efforts are anchored by three annual programs that bring folk music from coffeehouse and festival stages into nursing homes, hospital rooms, and classrooms around the Delaware Valley.
		While some of the attorneys and businesspersons who now run the Folksong Society pride themselves on letting it all hang out at festivals dressing in t-shirts and torn jeans, Britton thinks that it takes much more than cultivating an image to be a true folkie.

	Folklore: Recentering Anglo/American Folksong: Sea Crabs and Wicked Youths
		Recentering Anglo/American Folksong is a reassertion of the unique contribution that folksong research has to offer to folklore studies, to academe, and to cultural and intellectual understanding.
		It was, however, criticised by folksong scholars in England in particular for its perceived neglect of socio-historical context.
		Recentering Anglo/American Folksong is, in one sense, a revisiting of that argument, for it consciously places the textual content of folksongs at the heart of an intertextual strategy that seeks to illuminate context, performance, and the like.

	Sleeve Notes - Britten: The Folksong Arrangements
		The majority of the folksong arrangements were completed well before the War Requiem and thus come from that period in his life effectively bounded by his American sojourn, Peter Grimes and the War Requiem.
		O Waly, Waly is a Somerset folksong collected by Cecil Sharp, though Britten's version does not exactly equate with the three versions published by Sharp, and the words appear to be a conflation of two of them.
		Viewed as a whole, Britten's folksong arrangements, covering as they do not only all the countries of the British Isles but also France, are remarkable as much for their renewal of tradition as for the personality of their arranger.

	Wolf Folklore Collection: Folksingers and the Re-Creation of Folksong
		It may be of interest to report that these eleven singers, the outstanding ones I have known, all live in rural areas and represent a grass-roots point of view or were living in the country when they learned their songs.
		It is, therefore, not surprising that he knows about a hundred and twenty-five folksongs, which he sings to his guitar, and that he has for fifty-five of his seventy-six years been known as one of the best singers of Stone County and surrounding area.
		It is inevitable that a man with such a command of folksong, such compelling interests in folk music, and such unusual talents in composition should tend to re-create traditional materials.

	Truth in Folksong: Some Developments and Applications
		His main findings were that singers in that tradition had an intense belief in the factual basis of their songs and that they demonstrated a high degree of emotional participation in their narratives.
		My remarks have, by now, I hope, served to illustrate the fact that not only is the notion of truth in folksong one that is both complex and far-reaching in its implications, but also that the singer recognises it to be so in as much as he articulates a concern for questions alluded to here.
		These facts constitute in themselves sufficient reason why we should be devoting ourselves to systematic investigation of truth and belief in folksong to the same extent that these problems are currently receiving attention from students of prose narrative.

	Western Folklore: Recentering Anglo/American Folksong: Sea Crabs and Wicked Youths
		The song in question, "Oh, Willie," has previously been treated as a mere version of "The Butcher's Boy." But Renwick demonstrates that the central issue of this ballad is parental opposition rather than faithless love, and that as such it shows textual coherence across time from early nineteenth-century broadsides to late twentieth-century field-collected versions.
		Chapter Five discusses a bawdy song (from an Internet songbook designed for club use by a group of middle-class male and female singers) about a husband who brings home a lobster or sea crab and leaves it in the chamber pot or toilet for safekeeping, with predictable results.
		The individual chapters are interpretive and analytic models, and the book as a whole makes a strong case for preserving scholarly common sense and a firm grip on the past as we move into the future.

	Folksong Proper
		It is partly a cause, partly an effect, of this impersonality that the folksong is often so vividly dramatic, yet without showing the least touch of self-consciousness.
		Even the faithful Swiss Guards were not proof against the intense longing aroused in them by the sound of their native airs, and it was found necessary to forbid the playing of the Ranz des Vaches altogether.
		The folksong is everywhere the home of fancy in a far-off land, and Canadians have never been without it wherever they have been.

	Technology and folksong
		At a conference in 1979, I first presented the hypothesis that each major technological advance in mass communication media helped to produce a folksong revival: in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, the introduction of movable type and metal engravings resulted in a revival to which the printig of broadsides, chapbooks, and songsters contributed greatly.
		Offset and gravure printing, invented a couple of centuries later, contributed to another folksong revival; the invention of the sound recording machine, and later the disc phonograph record, each produced major folksong revivals; the widespread use of inexpensive radios produced still another revival and reinforced and continued the impetus of the phonographically inspired revival.
		Note, too, that my position is diametrically opposed to the oft repeated one that the printing and recording of folksong freezes its form and content so that it ceases to be folksong.

	Gavin Greig: 'The Subject of Folksong'
		In 1963, Greig's great-grandson Arthur Argo, the singer, collector and broadcaster, teamed up with the American folklorist Kenny Goldstein, to republish, with family consent, the most important of Greig's writings, i.e.
		The first two talks he reproduces, for example, are of some interest in that they represent what Greig confusedly thought before he actually started folksong collecting - but there is nothing in the book to tell you that.
		More importantly, he does not point out that the 'Folk-Song in Buchan' piece was a later version of Greig's Presidential Address to the Buchan Field Club that Greig had later greatly expanded into book form in 1906, and would then further annotate the copies he distributed.
