The Modern Weaver Lad: Melodrama and Dialect Literature

Nineteenth-century Lancastrians feared the death of regional dialects due to increased migration to manufacturing areas, the expansion of the railways, and compulsory state education. This fear fuelled the proliferation of dialect glossaries as well as dialect writing in the form of poems, songs, stories, and sketches. While scholars have written about these forms, the role of Lancashire dialect in theatrical contexts has been understudied. This article draws on recent studies in melodrama and performance sociolinguistics to examine Lancashire dialect writer Ben Brierley's domestic melodrama The Lancashire Weaver Lad. I argue that through its complex representation of ‘Lancashireness’ the play provided new ways for mid-Victorian Lancastrians to understand, construct, and perform modern Lancashire identities.

Illusion of life in Bob Dylan’s “murder most foul”

ABSTRACT This article examined the Bob Dylan song, “Murder Most Foul,” using the illusion of life rhetorical perspective. The song’s music and lyrics together speak to an American experience defined by the fallout of the JFK assassination: a public consumed with doubt, distrust, and conspiracy; however, a public that can perhaps still spark change. Overall, the song presents an incongruity between music and lyrics whereby the quietness of the music is at odds with the horrible scene recreated for the listener lyrically. In the song, the dramatic illusion is overtaken by the poetic, and the comic rhythm is flooded by the tragic. Concurrently, in the virtual time, optimism is overtaken by tragedy, life gives way to death, and death becomes release and transformation. The song, without a chorus and 17-minutes long, represents an unfamiliar form of song containing elements of the murder and apocalyptic ballad as well as protest music.

Cassava Spirit and the Seed of History: On Garden Cosmology in Northern Amazonia

ABSTRACT This article concerns the practice of cassava gardening among the indigenous Makushi people of Amazonian Guyana. By focusing on the cassava garden (mîî) as a primary site of multispecies engagement, I explore some of the heterogeneous modes that people–plant relationships take in everyday life and ritual practice. Plants, for the Makushi, are typically thought of as ‘persons’ (pemon), and gardening is predicated upon maintaining relationships of interspecies care via regular human–plant communication. In the idiom of human kinship, cassava plants are spoken of as being ‘children’ (more yamî’), both of human gardeners and Cassava Mama, the tutelary spirit of cultivated plants. Human–plant communication is both verbal, in the form of poetic language (taren) and songs (eremu), and embodied, in the form of tactile engagement and substance-based transfers. It is in the cultivation of communicative relationships with plants and their spirits, I argue, that Makushi gardeners create and nourish human persons and, ultimately, reproduce society through relations with alterity. I go on to address the anthropological problem of plant animism in Amazonia, arguing that a more embodied, sensorial and, following Strathern, ‘immanentist’ notion of spirit is required to better account for the complex entanglement of bodies and souls that undergirds human–plant interpenetration in indigenous Amazonia. In dialogue with literature from the multispecies turn, I suggest that an anthropology beyond the human, much like Makushi gardening, might usefully be thought of as a process of more-than-human ontogenesis.

Cryptic vocal behavior of foraging humpback whales on feeding grounds in West Greenland.

Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) sing in mating aggregations in the form of song displays, but much less is known about how both sexes use sound on their feeding grounds. Here, we test different hypotheses about the function of vocalizations in 14 foraging humpback whales tagged with sound and movement recording Dtags in Greenland. We show that this population of foraging humpback whales have an overall low call rate of 11.9 calls h-1 (inter-quartile range = 12.1) with no support for the hypotheses that they employ sound in the localization or manipulation of prey nor in the coordination of lunge feeding. The calls had a mean received level of 135 ± 5dB re 1 μPa, which is some 30 dB lower than maximum levels of song recorded on similar deployed tags, suggesting a much smaller active space of these vocalizations. This reduced active space might, in concert with low call rates, serve to mitigate eavesdropping by predatory killer whales or conspecifics competing for the same prey resources. We conclude that feeding humpback whales in Greenland produce low level, infrequent calls suggesting that calling is not a prerequisite for successful feeding, but likely serves to mediate within group social interactions.

The D-shape is the part that modulates from the base tone of F Major to G Major.

The Generation and Classification of Miao Folk Songs in Western Hunan

Some people ask, “why do most of the Miao people in Western Hunan still live in mountains and valleys?” At that time, they were forced to work together to fight against the national treasures of the west, but they were forced to struggle against the national treasures of the West because of the oppressive policies of the ethnic minorities. Since ancient times, Miao songs in Western Hunan have also been an indispensable part of Miao people's daily life. Because Miao people have no written expression, their cultural and artistic heritage can only be realized in the form of song and music. Their usual joy, anger, sadness and joy are also reflected in Miao songs vividly. In the big garden of Chinese folk music, Xiangxi Miao song also has its own unique beauty.

THE ANALYSIS OF TEACHER CREATIVITY IN WRITING A KID SONG

This study is motivated by the lack of teacher’s creativity in writing a kid song. A new song evidentially taught to children generally changes merely on the lyric of an existing melody or song. While this activity is carried out repeatedly, it will be boring for children. Therefore, the creativity of teacher is needed in writing a kid song. Accordingly, the atmosphere of music learning could be more enjoyable and attract children’s attention. This study aims to determine the creativity of teacher in writing a kid song based on three categories of creative products; novelty products, resolution products, elaboration and synthesis products. This study used a qualitative approach. The data collection technique carried out by using documentation studies was in the form of kid songs recording from four participant teachers in the RA Songwriting Competition in Bandung Regency. The result of this study shows three points. First, in terms of the novelty aspect, the songs written by the participants were based on their own ideas, instead of the imitations of other people’s works. It could hardly be seen from the specific characteristic of melody, rhythm, and lyric that was different from the existing works. Second, in terms of the resolution aspect, the songs written by the participants could be a solution of the existing problems in accordance with the needs of children. Third, in terms of elaboration and synthesis aspects, the song texts were very communicative, easy to comprehend, and apprehended by the children. As a recommendation, the written songs could be used as a model for delivering learning material in Early Childhood Education

Pendidik Dalam Upaya Pembentukan Karakter Rabani Generasi Muda Melalui Penerapan Metode Lagu Islami

The era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has had a tremendous impact on human life. The impact has caused major changes in all aspects of community life, both positive and negative impacts. Information becomes widely spread quickly and can be accessed easily by the public. However, behind such a positive impact, the negative impact cannot be avoided, including: the development of unnecessary information, such as content containing acts of violence, pornography, pornoaction and hoax news. This negative impact can trigger a moral recitation among Indonesia's younger generations. Therefore, character education efforts are needed from an early age as a bulwark against latent demoralization attacks. One of the effective ways of cultivating character is through early childhood education. Education institutions apply basic learning from character building so that children have basic abilities according to their development stage. This study uses a Classroom Action Research type of research and aims to implement the method of learning Islamic songs as an effort to build character in early childhood. The results of this study indicate that: 1) the learning atmosphere becomes more lively so that children can follow the lessons well; 2) Stimulating children's social spirit so as to create an equal atmosphere among friends; 3) Through learning Islamic songs in the form of clapping, songs and gestures, moral messages for character building are easy to memorize and apply.

Improve automatic detection of animal call sequences with temporal context.

Many animals rely on long-form communication, in the form of songs, for vital functions such as mate attraction and territorial defence. We explored the prospect of improving automatic recognition performance by using the temporal context inherent in song. The ability to accurately detect sequences of calls has implications for conservation and biological studies. We show that the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN), designed to detect song notes (calls) in short-duration audio segments, can be improved by combining it with a recurrent network designed to process sequences of learned representations from the CNN on a longer time scale. The combined system of independently trained CNN and long short-term memory (LSTM) network models exploits the temporal patterns between song notes. We demonstrate the technique using recordings of fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) songs, which comprise patterned sequences of characteristic notes. We evaluated several variants of the CNN + LSTM network. Relative to the baseline CNN model, the CNN + LSTM models reduced performance variance, offering a 9–17% increase in area under the precision–recall curve and a 9–18% increase in peak F1-scores. These results show that the inclusion of temporal information may offer a valuable pathway for improving the automatic recognition and transcription of wildlife recordings.

Sitrilakiyangalil Pallisai

It is cynical to set out to give any one of the four affirmative meanings of virtue, meaning, pleasure, and home. In this way, Pallu, Kuravanchi, Nondi, Kuluvam, Makudi etc. are found to have artistic qualities in them. Pillai Tamil, Kalambakam, Satakam, Malai and Anthadi are found to be literary. The action of the tooth has acquired a pronoun and has become called a tooth. Those who work in a place full of potholes are referred to as Pallar. Although Pallu literature later took literary form, its elements can be traced back to ancient literature. Various elements must have been supplemented in order to get the full text of the school literature. Such literary genres are written with a tendency to explain a variety of meanings. Yet they are all suppressed together in the sense that they come together in giving hints about music. The literary genre of cognition, one of the eight categories referred to by the tholkappiyam, applies to ‘pallu vagai’ literature. The biological condition of the pallu, in its entirety and in its simplest form, is made clear to us in the form of short stories and songs. In this article you will find what the Psalms say about agriculture, the God of the pallar, their family, way of life and music.
