About Me:

Sima Pethau? I'm a musicologist with dual specialization in Celtic / Celtic-American folk music and popular and academic music of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. I'm of mixed Celtic ancestry (primarily Scottish and Cornish, but also with Irish, Welsh, and Breton thrown in). My thesis (M.Mus, University of North Texas, 1973) was on the Welsh crwth, and my Ph.D dissertation (UNT, 1984) was on the centonate, or oral-aural, transmittive processes in Southern Appalachian folksong. I'm one of a handful of crythorion, or crwth-players, who follow what appear to be authentic folk practices, as opposed to the academic methods that have been superimposed by too many. Much of my thesis research involved reconstructing performance methodology, as well as genealogical aspects of the instrument. I'm actively interested in establishing contact with persons of similar or overlapping interests, whether those interests are professional or avocational.

The web page link is to my thesis abstract. By clicking on my highlighted name, near the end of the page, you can get to my home page. The thesis abstract page includes links to other pages at my site, including a bibliography of publications and presentations, as well as online abstracts of several studies. I also have compositions posted online at sibeliusmusic.com (under "Composers" / "B").

Now that I've said all that, please do not address me as "Dr.," "Professor," etc! "Jack" will be fine with me. After all's said and done, the title proves mostly how much of a wringer one's willing to put him- or herself through.

I look forward to hearing from you, who- or wherever you may be!

Crwth Music Files

Greetings, one and all. I have made the MP3 files of crwth music on my page available to those who would like to use one or more of them at their sites. All I ask is that the source be cited.

As an academic I imagine you know of this other crwth player, Robert Evans and his singing partner Mary Ann Roberts, but I will add their website here just in case. It is www.bragod.com A wonderful evocation of medieval crwth playing.

Thanks for sharing you mp3's

At 7:34pm on September 16, 2008, Brian y Tarw Llwyd said…: Since you are involved with Celtic-American folk music, you might be interested in this fellow's website. He lives here locally and is a walking, breathing library of American folk music. You actually may already have heard of him, but just in case here is the website with bits of his recordings. This is, in my opinion, what happened to Celtic music when it came to America... but then, you already know that. hehe

Regards to your family. Hope you are keeping your heads above water.

At 4:07pm on September 16, 2008, Brian y Tarw Llwyd said…: Thanks for the great info... maybe now with the clues you have provided, I might be able to track something down! Diolch yn fawr!

At 3:01pm on September 15, 2008, Brian y Tarw Llwyd said…: Thanks for the comments... I would love to be able to listen to the oldest music known to the various Celtic communities, so any suggestions of where to look will be most appreciated. (btw, I myself am a mixed Celtic bag, being Scots, Irish, Welsh and Swiss.)
