The songs they would sing to each other were at one point collected by folklorists and are now referred to as "bothy ballads." One of the first records featuring these ballads was released in 1961 featuring singing by <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewan_MacColl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ewan MacColl</a></b> and <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Seeger" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peggy Seeger</a></b>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

Rooted in the island's Hindu and Buddhist traditions, Balinese gamelan is a complex ensemble of percussion instruments, producing a harmonious and rhythmic symphony that captivates both the ears and the soul.<br /><br />The origins of gamelan can be traced back over a thousand years, with influences from Java and the Majapahit Empire. The music is deeply intertwined with religious ceremonies, traditional rituals, and artistic performances. <br /><br />Central to gamelan is its distinctive ensemble of percussive instruments.

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Another vinyl transfer from the Boston Public Library via the Internet Archive and restored by me. This LP was later reissued with additional music, but that compact disc is now unavailable except in the second hand market.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b><br />Of note is that the list price of this LP was $5.95 in 1970, which in inflation-adjusted 2020 dollars is about $40. This, interestingly, is about what used copies are listed at on discogs.com (US sellers only, for a fair comparison).</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Economists playfully use something called a "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index">Big Mac Index</a>," which measures purchasing power among various world currencies by comparing the cost of a rather disgusting Big Mac sandwich at McDonalds "restaurants" around the world. We can do the same with comparing 1970 USD vs 2020 USD... the price of a Big Mac sandwich was 49 cents in 1970 and $5.74 (average) in mid-2019. Therefore the method results in a 2020 retail list price for this LP of right around $70.</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Another way of looking at it is that in 1970, if one had $6, one could purchase either 12 Big Macs or this LP. Therefore we again derive a theoretical retail list price of this album today of around $70. Keep that in mind when people scoff at paying $20 for a newly-issued LP.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a recording of songs by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscogee_(Creek)_Nation">Muscogee Creek tribe</a> featuring in dances recorded in the state of Oklahoma in 1969.

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The fact that any Native Americans at all have survived decades of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_indigenous_peoples">genocide by White settlers</a> followed by many more decades of willful neglect and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_genocide">cultural genocide by the US Government</a> is almost a miracle. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At some point I will be uploading my own transfers of about 20 LPs of field recordings of Native Americans. We'll see when I have the time to start that!</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><b>The Wikipedia provides the following information about the artist on this release:</b><br /><br /><i><b>Liang Tsai-Ping </b>(Chinese: 梁在平; pinyin: Liáng Zàipíng, b. Gaoyang County (高阳县), Hebei, China, February 23, 1910 or 1911; d. Taipei, Taiwan, June 28, 2000) was a master of the guzheng, a Chinese traditional zither. He is considered one of the 20th century's most important players and scholars of the instrument.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>Early career</b></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b><br /></b>At age 14, Liang moved to Beijing, where he began his studies with Professors <b>Ying-mei Shih</b> (Shi Yingmei) and <b>Tze-you Wei</b> (Wei Ziyou). After printing his first work, Ni Cheng Pu (Ni Zheng Pu), a guzheng teaching manual in 1938, he brought his instruments and conferred with several masters and companies. He graduated from Beijing Jiaotong University, majoring in applied science.<br /><br />He moved to Taiwan in 1949, where he lived for the rest of his life. He worked in the Ministry of Commerce while continuing his musical activities. Liang had much to do with the revival of the guzheng in the 20th century, helping to establish the instrument as one of the major Chinese traditional solo instruments, as well as a component of the Chinese orchestra. Throughout his life, he preferred the older steel string version of the instrument. For 25 years, he served as the president of the Chinese Classical Music Association, which was organized in Taipei in 1951.<br /><br />In addition to performing on the guzheng, he researched the instrument's history and repertoire, studying the playing of elder guzheng masters from various parts of China, learning and comparing their styles.<br /><br />He also created new works for the instrument. In 1951, following the release of his first composition, Longing for an Old Friend, he composed more than forty pieces for the guzheng. His book, </i>Music of the Cheng<i>, has been published in six editions.</i></span></div>

<div>
<i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Liang performed widely throughout the world. He first performed in India while on his way to the United States. While at Yale University in 1945-46, he introduced a performance on the "China Program" with the American writer <b>Emily Hahn</b>, on DuMont Television. A colorful sound film called Melody of Ancient China was produced for him by the Harmon Foundation in 1946. Under the sponsorship of <b>Pearl S. Buck</b>, Liang gave solo performances in several major U.S. cities.</span></i><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br />He traveled to Japan in 1952, where he was greeted by the renowned koto player <b>Michio Miyagi</b>, and also traveled to Seoul, Korea, performing at Sarabul Art College and The National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts.<br /><br />Liang introduced the guzheng at the First Southeast Asia Music Conference in Manila, Philippines in 1955. He performed in ten European nations in 1958, participated in the International Music Symposium in Manila, and served as the Chief Delegate of the Republic of China in April 1966. Under the sponsorship of the Honolulu Academy of Arts, he performed and lectured on seven U.S. college campuses in May 1967.<br /><br />For the Asia Society in New York, he directed the Shantung Music Ensemble in 50 recitals in the United States in the spring of 1972. Invited by the overseas Chinese Teachers Federation, Liang performed in Singapore and in four cities of Malaysia, Bangkok, and Hong Kong in 1973.<br /><br />Invited by the Performing Arts Programs, Asia Society, Liang conducted a three-month recital (including Carnegie Hall) and lecture tour to Japan, Canada, and the United States in the spring of 1974.</i></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>Students</b><br />Among Liang's students was the American composer <b>Lou Harrison </b>(1917-2003), who became the first American to become a proficient guzheng performer, and also a composer of idiomatic music for the instrument. In 1962, Harrison went on to form (with two other American musicians: his student <b>Richard Dee</b>, b. 1936, and <b>William Colvig</b>; along with the singer <b>Lily Chin</b>) an ensemble that toured California playing traditional Chinese music, the first American group of its type.<br /><br />Liang's son is the scholar and composer <b>David Mingyue Liang.</b><br />Books by Liang Tsai-Ping<br />Liang, Tsai-Ping (1962). </i>On Chinese Music. <i>Taipei, Taiwan.</i><br /><i>Liang, Tsai-Ping, ed.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><b>Discogs has this to say about the label:</b><br /><br /><i>The Institute of Ethnomusicology was established in 1961 at the <a href="http://www.ucla.edu/">University Of California-Los Angeles</a> and existed until 1974. This organization hosted numerous musicians and instructors from different world traditions, purchased a vast collection of world music instruments, and supported one of the largest traditional sound archives in the USA. The Institute conducted research in systematic musicology, particularly the development and use of the automatic music writer Melograph. The Institute released some records with <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/378161-I-E-Records">I. E. Records</a> in the late sixties and early seventies. </i><br /><br /><b> These recordings were made by David Morton and some notes about the recordings (again from Discogs) are as follows:</b><br /><br /><i> The monophonic original recordings of the compositions on these records were done with a single Electro-Voice 666 microphone feeding an Ampex 601 full-track recorder. The concert at the Erawan Hotel was recorded on 1 mil polyester Sctoch tape No. 150. Most of the other recordings were made on 1 1/2 mil acetate, Audiotape No. 1251. <br /><br />Re-recording employed Amphex 300 recording equipment. The material was electronically reprocessed to stereo through equalization tailored specifically to each recording. In general, the low frequencies were placed on the right and the high frequencies on the left, with care being taken to maintain the original balance between high and low frequencies. <br /><br />Issued in a gatefold jacket, and accompanied by a separate 47 page booklet of scholarly commentary and analysis. <br /><br />Track notes: <br /><br />A1 - Mā Ram ("Dancing Horse"), followed immediately by solo versions of Choet Nai on the pī, ranāt ēk, and ranāt thum. Overture: sām chan. Pī phāt ensemble. Recorded July, 1960; performed by the musicians of the Phakavali Institute at the Erawan Hotel in Bangkok. <br /><br />A2 - Chanting Prelude to Sēphá Program. Vocal solo with krap sēphā. Recorded in July, 1960. Performed by a musician of the Phakavali Institute at the Erawan Hotel in Bangkok. <br /><br />A3 - Thao. Pī phāt ensemble with vocal soul. Recorded in July, 1960. Performed by the musicians of the Phakavali Institute at the Erawan Hotel in Bangkok. <br /><br />B1 - Suite. Pī phāt ensemble. Recorded on August 2, 1959. Performed by young male students of the Department of Fine Arts at the Phakavali Institute, Bangkok. <br /><br />B2 - Instrumental solos on the khǭng wong yai and khǭng wong lek. Recorded on August 1, 1960. Performed by the musicians of the PHakavali Institute during one of the weekly ceremonies on Monday night which were observed during the three-month mourning period following the death of Luang Pradit's wife. <br /><br />C1 - Special form. Pī phāt ensemble. Recorded on August 1, 1959. Performed by young male students of the Department of Fine Arts at the Phakavali Institute. <br /><br />C2 - Sām chan. Mahōri ensemble with vocal solo. Recorded on July 26, 1960. Performed by musicians of the Phakavali Institute, at the Institute. <br /><br />D1 - Overture; sām chan (a preceding short section in free rhythm, not actually part of the composition, is included on the recording for interest). Pī phāt ensemble. Recorded on August 2, 1959. Performed by the musicians of the Phakavali Institute, at the Institute, during the annual wai khru celebration. <br /><br />D2 - Sǭng chan. Khrų̄ang sāi ensemble with vocal solo. Copied in July, 1960, from a tape of the Publicity Department, Bangkok.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>However, I will also be sharing transfers of analog "world music" which I have been collecting from various parts of the web. As always, I will share the music in the highest resolution available and also share lower resolution and mp3 versions for people who are into that sort of thing. </b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When an original transfer from my collection is presented, I will document the equipment used and what I did to the transfer. When a publicly-available transfer is used, </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">not much time will be devoted to documenting the actual, received condition of the original signal -- I will just do whatever is necessary to make the transfers sound as good as I can. This might include "declicking" software, EQ, noise reduction, channel re-balancing, and so forth. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There will also sometimes be instances when I share a compact disc of musical material which is very difficult or impossible to obtain through commercial channels. With the ubiquity of music streaming services, some music labels are allowing all legacy releases of all physical media to fall out of print, jeopardizing the music's future availability.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is always the question of what constitutes world music. As I define it, world music represents both popular and indigenous traditional music from anywhere on Earth, including English-speaking countries. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Please note -- the only reason for the existence of this blog is to assist in the study of music as well to assist in cultural preservation. If we do not actively preserve our culture, we will lose it.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is not now, there has never been, and there never will be any commercial aspect of this blog, including advertisements, sponsored links, or acceptance of donations.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Thank you</i> for visiting this blog. Please enjoy and study the music!</span></b><br />
