A new work by Anna Guigne has brought together the best of the remaining unpublished material from Peacock's 1951-1961 field collection. Guigne is an independent folklorist and adjunct professor affiliated with Memorial University of Newfoundland's ethnomusicology program. Recently published by the University of Ottawa Press and the Canadian Museum of History as part of the Mercury Series, The Forgotten Songs of the Newfoundland Outports features 127 songs arranged under 115 titles with song notes and biographies of the 58 different singers. It is hoped the book will raise awareness of Peacock's contribution to Canada's musical collections and revive interest in his research into the music of outport Newfoundland. http://www.southerngazette.ca/news/local/2016/12/12/_forgotten-songs-of-outport-newfoundland-discovered-again.html * Living Heritage: http://livingheritage.libsyn.com/podcast/ep061-forgotten-songs-of-the-newfoundland-outports-with-anna-guigne * Launch: link to MMaP's YouTube channel now containing the November 30, 2016 launch of my new publication The Forgotten Songs of the Newfoundland Outports As Taken from Kenneth Peacock's Newfoundland Field Collection, 1951-1961 (Ottawa University Press and the Canadian Museum of History Mercury Series). o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghj6E6-QiLI o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghj6E6-QiLI
