Ballad
By definition, a ballad is a song that tells a story, or a story told in song. The word ballad is derived from such medieval terms as chanson ballade and ballata, but while both of these terms denote dancing songs, this particular connotation has long been ab- sent from its present-day meaning.
As a part of the folk music tradition, the ballad shares with spirituals, blues, work songs, and other folk songs certain features that establish these forms within the context of the folk genre. The ballad, like all folk songs, is traditionally perpetuated by an oral tradition, a process by which a nonwritten song is passed from one person to the next. Changes, such as the alteration of the musical and lyrical content, made by trans- mission are (like the original) free of author- ship, as the writer of any folk song or ballad is anonymous by tradition. Changes in the ballad may range from a subtle alteration of a melody line to the complete revision of the lyrical content; and there are numerous examples of different stories told to the same musical accompaniment.
As continuity by means of the folk process is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the ballad, its existence, like that of the traditional folk song, is a source of limitless debate, as many experts feel that the folk tradition has become obsolete in contemporary society. In his book The Incomplete Folksinger (Simon and Schuster, 1972), Pete Seeger writes of present-day ballad makers:
Some folklore authorities feel that the day of the true folk ballad maker is irretrievably over. Universal literacy, changing music tastes, canned entertainment, have all combined to make him obsolete, they say.
Yet the interest in folklore and folk music, though a revival, not a survival, has produced not only collectors and listeners. Performers, though they may not fit neatly into any of the old categories of folk singers, nevertheless have more often than not learned their songs by ear, and produced their own variants.
In many places one finds singers composing whole new ballads, often without bothering to write them down. And their songwriting method is the same as that of the ballad makers of old: First, they borrow an old melody, using it either note for note, or making slight changes. Second, their verses often start with the words of the older song. changing them to localize the story and make it more meaningful for friends and neighbors who may be listening.
In addition to these common characteristics shared by all musical forms within the folk idiom, the ballad possesses distinguishing traits that set it apart from other types of music in the general folk classification. Most importantly, the ballad is always a narrative; it always tells a story. The ballad is generally straightforward and simple, and as the singer is considered to be only an agent in its transmission, its presentation should be objective and impersonal. Fairly uniform in meter and rhythm, the ballad has a refrain and stanzas that are four lines of verse and rhymed A B C B. Thematically, the ballad dramatizes a memorable event, often marked by fantastic deeds, or a romantic theme, such as requited or unrequited love.
The American ballad has its origins in earlier English and Scottish ballads. The "cowboy's lament," which dates from the era of Western expansion in the United States come from the 18th century British and Irish ballads.
