About

The American folk music collector Sidney Robertson Cowell (1903-1995) has been marginalized in the histories of the many places where she worked during her twenty-year career, including North America, Europe, India, Asia, and the Middle East. The talk focuses specifically on her work in Ireland on the music of Conamara and the Aran Islands in 1955 and 1956, work that is largely unknown to music historians, ethnomusicologists, and folklorists. It presents for the first time to an American audience new research on Cowell's international work, research that has yielded fascinating insights into her oeuvre.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
