Singer Oscar Brand To Perform Sunday By CLAUDIA LEVY Oscar Brand, artist and prophet of the contemporary American folk singing scene, will make his first appearance at the University Sunday in Schwab in a concert sponsored by the Folklore Society. Brand, whose approach to folk music encompasses the authentic and is colored with humor, is the author of a book published recent ly, “The Folk Mongers,” in which he attempts to define folk songs and their place in American culture. The sound is essentially a single one, he says. A true folk song is distinguished by this sound and by the fact of its unselfconscious ness. The song is mellowed through a process of oral trans mission and is a product of evolu tion, he says. “DOWN THROUGH history," Brand writes, “the folk song .has gone hand and 'hand with nation alism. Folk music has been an im portant element in all fanatical nationalistic movements.” On the other hand, young peo ple today find release in the folk song in that the music may be called antieslablislnncnt, he says. “Our young people miss the giant-size heroes of the past. They — „ Willis jyliss Sus« I. ! Miss M ei We doff our hats to AlphaZefa which of all the parties we have to photograph, is one of the few which is consistently ready and waiting. Many thanks.. Shortly, in our display cases, group pictures in color of the new sorority pledge classes. complain that there are no great causes today, and can identify with the past in folk songs . The non-conformist finds his rebellion mirrored in a thousand verses.” He predicts an optimistic future for the folk song. "Folk music will grow without destruction of the form, and will always be music that is understood.” THE OLD songs, Brand says, will reach new heights of popu larity, provoking even more con troversy among folk mongers. The friction, he points out, exists be tween the “purists” the his torians, the lovers of the authentic sound and the “popularizcrs," who are willing to debase’a song for profit. The purists’ great fear, he says, is that "bad songs will drive out good” and that the masses will hear them done only juke-box style. “When the popularize! 1 over steps the bounds of taste and decency.” Brand states, “sounds of fury will force him back.” Folk songs as a “special ma terial” will be even more prev alent in the future, Brand pre dicts, and government sponsorship of folk music will increase. The folk idiom, he says, will thus be strengthened. / ,■s& , ,:,^X bill colemsn PAGE THREE
