Work song
A work song is a piece of music closely connected to a specific form of work, either sung while conducting a task (usually to coordinate timing) or a song linked to a task or trade which might be a connected narrative, description, or protest song.
==Definitions and categories==
Records of work songs are roughly as old as historical records, and anthropological evidence suggests that all agrarian societies tend to have them.〔 Most modern commentators on work songs have included both songs sung while working as well as songs about work, since the two categories are seen as interconnected.〔E. Gioia, ''Work Songs'' (Duke University Press, 2006), p. xi.〕 Norm Cohen divided collected work songs into domestic, agricultural or pastoral, sea shanties, African American work songs, songs and chants of direction and street cries.〔N. Cohen, 'Worksongs: a demonstration of examples', in A. Green, ''Songs about Work: Essays in Occupational Culture for Richard A. Reuss'' (Indiana University Press, 1993), pp. 334-5.〕 Ted Gioia further divided agricultural and pastorals songs into hunting, cultivation and herding songs, and highlighted the industrial or proto-industrial songs of cloth workers, factory workers, seamen, lumberjacks, cowboys and miners. He also added prisoner songs and modern work songs.〔E. Gioia, ''Work Songs'' (Duke University Press, 2006).〕
