Putting the "skin" on a story is the mark of an interesting conversationalist, the sign of a good storyteller. The rhythmic measures of speech alternating with silences order spoken discourse for the listener, while musical flourishes and tonal colors aid interpretation of meaning and affect in spoken webs of caint--talk, comhra--conversation, or sceal--story. The way the speaker intones the spoken word reveals the point behind a conversation, highlights key messages and aids recall of important information. The way the storyteller puts "flesh" on the "bones" of a story discloses his intention to the listener--ridicule, jest, reproach, amusement, instruction. Despite the importance of the way the spoken word is phrased and orally interpreted in Irish conversational narratives, most research has been based on textual transcriptions. It also has been conducted through the historical geographic lens, so virtually nothing is known about the ways themes and content items are embedded in spoken narrative discourse, how ordinary ways of speaking frame conversational narratives or the way categories of oral discourse shape the form and manner of telling a story in traditional performance events. First, an overview of the influence of the historical geographical method on the study of traditional Irish conversational narrative is presented. Then, the key traditional concept, bealoideas, or "oral instruction," is outlined, followed by description of some of the ways of speaking that frame Irish conversational narratives. Next, the way the ethnic framework shapes categorization of Irish conversational narratives is examined in relation to discourse features, thematic focus, verisimilitude and narrative imagination. Finally, the study raises the necessity of making visible scripts of performance for the study of spoken narratives, outlines some of the compositional strategies used by Irish storytellers in their traditional role as a cultural spokesman for the "'old' people" and concludes with an analysis of the oral discourse and performance style of one example of seansceal or "'old' story" and a brief discussion of some problems of interpretation and translation.Item Move-Up Day Songs(1935) Boston University; Sargent CollegeItem Sharing a New Song(1987) UnknownItem Joel Sheveloff(1965) UnknownItem Letters to Roger Voisin(1955-07) Voisin, RogerItem Quiet City, trumpet manuscript([Boosey & Hawkes], 1957) Copland, Aaron; Voisin, RogerItem Alleluia 2 : for piano (1989)(1989-12-06) Denniston, Donald EdwardsItem Le reve d'amour(1905-02-09) Millars, Haydn; Voisin, Rene LouisItem The Minister. A one-act opera in six scenes. [Score](1994) Scruton, Roger"The action takes place in the South of England at some time during the nineteen sixties. Richard Hughes, Member of Parliament for the seaside town of Higglesham, has been appointed to the Cabinet, so fulfilling a life-long ambition, only to realize the emptiness of a success that he enjoys alone. Stepping into the future he had coveted, he finds himself without support, falling from 'is' to 'might have been', and from 'might have been to 'was'. Over dinner with two important members of his constituency, the Minister confronts the ghosts that have been haunting him, and renounces a life whose emptiness he can no longer deny. The catalyst of this event is an enigmatic young servant, sent by a catering agency, and the drama is a kind of No play, in which the fault-lines of a life give way to reveal another world beyond."
