Comparison of Lyrics in Popular Song<\/strong><\/p>\n
This small study compares common themes in two collections of popular songs chosen by two groups of participants in community music groups in Ireland. The two groups for the purpose of this comparison are :<\/p>\n
\n
Group A: residents at a nursing home in Kerry aged 70 plus and all Irish by birth<\/li>\n
Group B: A mixed age & ethnicity adult education group attending a community education course at a community centre in Cork city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Both groups worked over a period of weeks with a community music facilitator developing skills in singing together as a group. Over the duration of the course the groups selected favourite songs to sing as their repertoire. There was no pre-selection by the facilitator and the participants suggested ideas for songs from their own repertoires and backgrounds.<\/p>\n
