[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] With excellent packaging, extensive sleeve notes, and thirty-three diverse musical offerings, this CD is a valuable and informative addition to Topic Records' Voice of the People series and a welcome contribution to scholarship on Orcadian music. The music, selected and presented by Reg Hall, is from Peter Kennedy's collection of field recordings made during a visit to Orkney in 1955 while working for the BBC and EFDSS. Along with its notes, this volume complements other collections of Orcadian music, most notably Alan Bruford's field recordings of songs, stories, and tunes made in the 1960s. (1) The main difference between the two is that this collection comprises specifically dance music performed on fiddle, accordion, guitar, and tin whistle, both solo and in various combinations. Soloists, including John Fraser (fiddle) and Peter Pratt (tin whistle and fiddle), are presented alongside fiddle and accordion groups, including the Garson Trio and Anderson Brothers Band, and the fiddle orchestra sound of the Orkney Strathspey and Reel Society. The notes comprise an introduction to the series, a historical overview of Orcadian music and dance, and an account of Kennedy's visit to the islands. The text offers a concise history of folk revival and folk song .collecting, and a discussion of the practitioners involved. Hall .describes part of the motivation behind the series as to 'shift the emphasis away from the values of the folk-song collectors and to present traditional music in its own right, reflecting its history, social contexts and the values of its practitioners' (p. 4). The music, described by one musician as made by people 'with dirt under their finger nails', (2) is reflective not only of the repertoire of an era but also of the cultural context within which it was practised and performed. Hall explains that the recordings chosen represent 'cultures that have passed or are passing rapidly' .(p. 8), elaboratin.g that, in terms of meaning and significance of the tunes, listeners will find it increasingly difficult to grasp the nature and quality of the lives of the performers, making it clear that the recordings do not make up for the live performance. A section on Orkney, which includes long quotations from the works of the Fleas and John Firth, (3) gives a wealth of information on the history of music and dance in the islands. It includes detailed descriptions of various aspects of a wedding, including the concluding dance, called 'Bobadybouster' in Orkney. The section includes accounts of the changes that took place in Orcadian dance music during the twentieth century, especially as a result of the influence of Jimmy Shand, who toured the island in 1948, and the formation of the Orkney Strathspey and Reel Society, also in 1948. The written section on Kennedy's visit to Orkney gives a real sense of the excitement of field collecting. …" @default.
