• W290892938 abstract "Yon Green Banks: Songs Sung in South Yorkshire Will Noble and John Cocking. CD. Veteran VT147CD, 2004. [pounds sterling]12.99. The Birds upon the Tree and Other Traditional Songs and Tunes: More Songs and Tunes from the Mike Yates Collection CD + 24 pp. booklet. Musical Traditions MTCD333, 2004. [pounds sterling]12.00. These two recordings of what, for lack of a better term, we generally call traditional singing, form a striking contrast. The first is by a pair of seasoned performers, well used to getting up in front of an audience, entertaining, and projecting their voices. The second is an anthology, a mixed bag in terms of performers, styles, and musicality. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The Noble-Cocking release is easy to deal with. It represents these singers performing items from their regular repertory. Their style is a forthright, unadorned and projected unison. They are performers who have sung together regularly in different contexts, including shepherds' meets, hunt suppers, carol sessions, folk clubs, and festivals, for a good number of years. Their professionalism (for that is what it is) in no way puts a limit on the integrity of their music or the excitement they generate in performance. Their repertory consists of the typical archaeological layers of popular song that have become traditional, ranging from the boisterous 'Gossip Joan', a pop song of Shakespeare's time, to Victorian pieces such as 'Merry Mountain Child', the composition of a local choirmaster whose song has obviously retained a hold on popular memory; there are songs popular on broadsides and various songs learned from other singers. Quite a number of the songs have a local provenance or association. This is the eclectic repertory of generations of singers, changing over time, yet maintaining the old as well as absorbing the new. The CD proclaims itself a celebration of live music: 'If you have seen Will and John perform, then you will find all your old favourites here.' Happily, the songs are recorded live. All singers respond to the situation in which they sing; and when I have been able to compare performances of a singer in front of an audience and at home, the latter are almost invariably inferior performances. Here the songs are performed with energy and enthusiasm; the only thing better than this recording is to see Noble and Cocking appear live. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] We should not expect such consistency from an anthology such as the one Yates has produced, nor do we get it. The Birds upon the Tree consists of performances by mainly English singers, and its rationale is somewhat confused and confusing. It nevertheless contains some absolute gems in terms of performances, but the range in terms of musical quality is extreme. There are some truly lovely singers, a couple of whom, Bob Blake and George Spicer, I knew from my Sussex days. There is the quirky and jerky anglo playing of Scan Tester giving us 'Man in the Moon', an object lesson in why it is often worth going back to sources, as Scan's playing is both rhythmically odder and more interesting than the form in which the tune is now heard among revivalists. For me, there are two really interesting singers on the CD. Fred Jordan uses a number of vocal devices including selective vibrato, rubato, and a characteristic note attack that broadens the note in the course of its duration. All these make for very interesting singing. The other is Packie Manus Byrne, who manages to turn what could be an awful doggy dirge, 'Poor Dog Tray', into a thing of musical beauty and human (and canine) dignity. …" @default.
