On a Rock in the Middle of the Ocean: Songs and Singers in Tory Island, Ireland - Europea: Ethnomusicologies and Modernities
Lillis O Laoire
Attempts to answer the question of why people sing, by focusing on the transmission and performance of songs on a small, Gaelic-speaking island community. In an exposition of the links between music, text, and performance, the vicissitudes of island life are revealed, while these tensions are shown to be leavened by the singing of humorous items.
