Differentiating Musical Exoticism Musical exoticism comes from the influence of non-European elements, often imitating styles from other cultures as a way to differ from the customs of the audience and creators. The motives for exoticism lie on a spectrum, ranging from pure exoticism to transcultural composing. Pure exoticism includes “othering” a subject, labeling them as different from one’s own group (Lecture 5/16). On the other hand, transcultural composing uses both non-western and western elements to create a hybrid of styles, with no purpose of “othering” (Lecture 5/16). The differences between pure exoticism and transcultural are often easily noticeable due to the clear distinctions in their techniques, however, some works are more…

In the first video, I believe the music is diffusing to folk culture. The artist of the video still uses key aspects of Appalachian music, such as the banjo and the guitar, but the lyrics and the sound of the instruments were much quieter than traditional Appalachian music. In addition, there is also a slight aspect of diffusing into popular culture since the video is more like a music video than the others and contains more lyrics. For the second video, there is no diffusion at all since that is what most people including myself, consider traditional Appalachian music. The harsh sound of the instruments is one of key signs of traditional Appalachian music.…

It’s a style of music that was first developed in the southern and western states, which used to be known as folk type of music, but since then has transformed into pop/country. I would like to elaborate more on the old country musical instruments. Instruments generally used in the more traditional genre of country music were the banjo, fiddle, harmonica, string bass, and sometimes even an accordion.…
Language The 1960s also saw the birth of a new attitude towards the Gaelic language. Since the struggle for independence, there had been a hope in the revival of the language. Many intellectuals and politicians had stressed the importance of it as one of the constitutive elements of Irishness.
