Description

Originally published in 1982, this scholarly examination explores the songs from the Blunt Collection gathered in Adderbury, North Oxfordshire, and their profound significance within village life. The book investigates how these songs functioned as living expressions within community consciousness, serving as vehicles for cultural identity and social cohesion. Through detailed analysis, the study reveals how village songs embodied local kinship patterns, social groupings, territorial bonds and cultural relationships among rural communities. This work demonstrates the art of village song as a reflection of mutual identity and shared understanding within traditional village societies. The research contextualises these musical traditions within their broader cultural framework, examining both the songs themselves and their integral role in the everyday lives of the people who sang them. An essential resource for scholars of folk music history, ethnomusicology and rural cultural studies.
