Abstract

The socio-political revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and the simultaneous explosion in the commercialization of popular music, brought a period of rapid growth and change in Irish music, challenging divisions between folk and traditional music in both repertoire and instrumentation. This growth and change were driven by a diverse range of instrumental, structural and stylistic changes, coupled with a global investment in music and live performance as a commodity. Key ensembles such as The Dubliners, Sweeney’s Men, Planxty, The Bothy Band and others explored new timbres while establishing a distinctively Irish, yet individual sound. This article explores the ways in which non-traditional string instruments were integrated into Irish ensembles, the technical and stylistic adaptations that resulted, and the legacy of this formative period in Irish music.

摘要

1960 年代和 1970 年代的社会政治革命，以及流行音乐商业化的同时爆发，带来了爱尔兰音乐的快速增长和变化时期，挑战了民间音乐和传统音乐在曲目和乐器方面的划分。这种增长和变化是由各种乐器、结构和风格的变化推动的，再加上全球对音乐和现场表演作为商品的投资。The Dubliners、Sweeney's Men、Planxty、The Bothy Band 等主要乐团探索了新的音色，同时建立了独特的爱尔兰风格，但又不失个性。本文探讨了将非传统弦乐器融入爱尔兰合奏的方式，以及由此产生的技术和风格改编，
