Q. for school we were given a role in a medeival village, and i got a minstrel. i have to come up with a story about my life and find or make a costume. i have no idea what to do!!! please help me

A. Take a look at some of the images. A medieval minstrel really didn't dress any differently than anyone else in the village, perhaps a bit more theatrically. Minstrels were wandering musicians and probably as poor as everyone else. I'd say you could probably go with any renaissance peasant outfit.

Why do some people think that Lindir the minstrel from The Lord of the Rings has blond/white hair?
Q. Most people think that Lindir the minstrel has ether blond or white hair? Did I miss something in the books that say what what he looks like?, or is it just a opinion most people have. In my opinion, I think that Lindir has dark hair. I guess it is up to the fans of Lindir to decide on what he looks like. What is your opinion? I think that Lindir has dark brown hair, so that is pretty close to black.
Asked by Kristen M - Wed Jul 2 17:26:28 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think it's based on differing perceptions of elves and minstrels. When I think elf, hair color is ambiguous, but when I think minstrel, I picture medium to dark brown hair. The book contains no physical description of him, but when you read you're meant to imagine appearances for yourself. Even if he's got dark hair in the game, that doesn't mean his hair can't be blond because Tolkien didn't write how he meant Lindir to look.

What woodwind is used in the Celtic Passions recording of The Minstrel Boy ?
Q. The collection is put together by John Williams and Dean Magraw and includes an instrumental version of "The Minstrel Boy". Does anyone know? I've been able to find sites confirming the title of the piece but not what it's being played on.
Asked by Chesh - Sun Jul 4 18:34:14 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Judging by the sheet music if there is a woodwind in it is a clarinet, but the version by John Williams and Dean Magraw I listened to was an instrumental and it was only an organ/piano and drums, but like I said the sheet music would suggest a clarinet.

Can strip club shows be compared to minstrel shows?
Q. That's what I heard a guy say on a radio interview the other day. In his opinion, what women performers do at strip clubs is comparable to what African-American and white performers in blackface used to do in minstrel shows in the early part of the 20th century. Obviously, he was talking about banning strip clubs, not bringing back minstrel shows.
Asked by nilesfletcher - Sat Jan 3 18:32:51 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Women are women at a strip show. They are not putting down any other group. They may be hyping the stereotypes and fantasies of the audience about women, but they are women being women. There is no direct comparison between strip shows and minstrel shows, but it is interesting to make the analysis because women and blacks both faced (and face) stereotyping and discrimination. Men dressing as women in a drag show would be a closer comparison. But drag shows aren't meant to be insulting and humiliating to women. Minstrel shows were--and are--insulting to black Americans (known as "slaves" at the time the minstrel shows got going).

A. Well,Guy Montag is the man in the story who on the surface is very unsympathetic in his actions because he s one of the bad guys! He s a fireman who burns books! He views himself in the mirror after a night of burning and finds himself grinning, and he thinks that all firemen must look like white men masquerading as minstrels, grinning behind their burnt-corked masks. Later, as Montag goes to sleep, he realizes that his smile still grips his face muscles, even in the dark. The language fiery smile still gripped by his face muscles suggests that his smile is artificial and forced. Soon he will understand that this small bit of truth is an immense truth for himself.

Asked by Nevyn - Sat Jan 16 17:25:43 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can use music for any instrument with your harp. One of my most useful books is the O'Neill's "Music of Ireland", which is about 1,850 fiddle tunes. All you have to do is follow the melody line, and fill in the chords you'll use for bass accompaniment. So if you have any sheet music, you should be able to follow it. But "The Minstrel Boy" is a simple tune...why don't you try picking it out by ear? Find the melody line first, and then the bass chords to go with it. You have about six weeks...plenty of time, and some good practice for you as you assemble your own arrangement.

Do you consider commercial rap to be a modern-day minstrel show?
Q. Please not that I used the term "commercial rap" (popular rap that promotes materialism and sexism) as I know that there are other rap genres that are more meaningful which unfortunately do receive enough airplay as their commercial counterparts. When I say minstrel show, I'm depicting these commercial rap artists as puppets being used by the big corporation CEOs that ultimately own their labels. What are your views on this?
Asked by naijagoddess4life - Fri May 4 21:26:09 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Wow, what a provoking thought. Minstrel shows were mostly white people dressed up like Africa-Americans and acted in a cartoonie overly stupid stereotype cow-towing to a white audience. I'm not sure modern rap fits that analogy in a literal sense. But I do think that the comercial formula of modern rap certainly doesn't show the highly educated, entreprenurial spirited, financial and cultural force that the African American culture brings to the world music scene. I'm not an avid listener to modern rap, but I love big band, swing, jazz, Gospel, soul and every other "American Music" genera that came out of the African- American Cultures. Let's face it--America would only have bluegrass and Folk Music if it weren't for African-American… [cont.]

Has rap music become the new "minstrel show"?
Q. The images seen and heard in recent rap music enforces a lot of negative stereotypes similar to minstrel shows of the past. That era ended, but now we have a similar era, and I'm just wondering how this has become so acceptable. Is there no self-respect in the hip-hop community anymore? I hate to invoke race into the conversation, but that's the only era that I can remember where this sort of buffoonery was so prevalent. Also, what does this say about the people who willingly consume this type of music? What do you guys think?
