| Added by magataganm, 09 Jan 2022 The Ballads From 1798 To Today's Modern Rebel Songs. A brief history of ballads in Ireland and why they were written to explain events taking place around the country. What Is A Ballad And Where Do They Come From ? The etymological sence of the word Ballad is ''Dancing Song''. But this description is not entirely acceptable for there are many more songs in use today which we could not call Ballads, perhaps most ballads were not composed to accompany a dance. Another definition currently popular is ''A Ballad Is A Relatively Short Song With A Short Story Line'' divided into verses and sung to a story like melody. Even this definition, close as it may be is still completely accurate. Some ballads extend to only a few lines, while others run into hundreds. The Oxford Dictionary says that a ballad is a simple spirited poem stanzas narrating some popular story. This is much nearer to the ballad as we know it, but still not completely accurate, as the demand for stanzaic structure is fulfilled only in the ballads of certain countries. Three of the four principle types of European ballads are not stanzaic at all. I am not churning out all this to confuse, but to illustrate just how how difficult it is to classify the ''Ballad''. Bearing the above in mind we have, I feel no option but to use the term ballad in it's widest sense as meaning any short traditional narrative poem sung with or without accompaniment or dance. I am sure there are still many who will not agree with this definition. The ballad evolved from the more ancient kind of song narrative, the epic or hero song. Heroic epics were once spread all over The Balkans. They are long songs, some of them taken seven or eight hours for just one song. There are likely to be hundred, even thousands of lines long, telling of Godlike heroes in a whole chain of complex adventures. They move in a supernatural world of magic monsteres. In contrast the ballad is more like a romantic short story, anything from fifty to one hundred lines long telling of a single exploit, involving lifesized figures in a realistic world, true lovers and false ones, fearless soldiers and treacherous neighbours. Nowadays the epic is found mainly in Albania, Greece and Bulgaria. But all over western and central Europe the old epics have faded away and being replaced with the ballad.
