Ceilidhsoc Tunebook, Web Edition The Greene Tunebook Tunes from The Red House, WWW Edition Hello Folks This tunebook attempts to bring together the music that has been played at the Red House session over the past few years, as well as some new tunes that people would like to introduce and a little local talent. There will always be several different ways to play folk tunes - what I have tried to do is write down the versions that will be most familiar to the musicians who play at the session. Where chords are given that are, as far as possible, the bog standard ones (not the weard and wonderful ones, as Steve would say!) to help rhythm players. To the best of my knowledge the runes are all tradidional unless an author is named. I'd like to thank (in no particular order): Micky, Simon, Ruth, Susannah, Jess, Richard, Rob, Alison, Phil, Paul and all current ceilisocks for their runes and suggestions. And Anna, for putting up with me typing in tunes in the middle of the night. Hope it's useful!

  • Contemporary Folk Dance Fusion Using Folk Dance in Secondary Schools
    Unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage Explore | Discover | Take Part Contemporary Folk Dance Fusion Using folk dance in secondary schools By Kerry Fletcher, Katie Howson and Paul Scourfield Unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage Explore | Discover | Take Part The Full English The Full English was a unique nationwide project unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage by making over 58,000 original source documents from 12 major folk collectors available to the world via a ground-breaking nationwide digital archive and learning project. The project was led by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and in partnership with other cultural partners across England.

  • Hornpipes and Disordered Dancing in the Late Lancashire Witches: a Reel Crux?
    Early Theatre 16.1 (2013), 139–49 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12745/et.16.1.8 Note Brett D. Hirsch Hornpipes and Disordered Dancing in The Late Lancashire Witches: A Reel Crux? A memorable scene in act 3 of Thomas Heywood and Richard Brome’s The Late Lancashire Witches (first performed and published 1634) plays out the bewitching of a wedding party and the comedy that ensues. As the party- goers ‘beginne to daunce’ to ‘Selengers round’, the musicians instead ‘play another tune’ and ‘then fall into many’ (F4r).1 With both diabolical interven- tion (‘the Divell ride o’ your Fiddlestickes’) and alcoholic excess (‘drunken rogues’) suspected as causes of the confusion, Doughty instructs the musi- cians to ‘begin againe soberly’ with another tune, ‘The Beginning of the World’, but the result is more chaos, with ‘Every one [playing] a seuerall tune’ at once (F4r). The music then suddenly ceases altogether, despite the fiddlers claiming that they play ‘as loud as [they] can possibly’, before smashing their instruments in frustration (F4v). With neither fiddles nor any doubt left that witchcraft is to blame, Whet- stone calls in a piper as a substitute since it is well known that ‘no Witchcraft can take hold of a Lancashire Bag-pipe, for itselfe is able to charme the Divell’ (F4v). Instructed to play ‘a lusty Horne-pipe’, the piper plays with ‘all [join- ing] into the daunce’, both ‘young and old’ (G1r). The stage directions call for the bride and bridegroom, Lawrence and Parnell, to ‘reele in the daunce’ (G1r). At the end of the dance, which concludes the scene, the piper vanishes ‘no bodie knowes how’ along with Moll Spencer, one of the dancers who, unbeknownst to the rest of the party, is the witch responsible (G1r).

  • The Quintessentially English Tune an Appraisal of the ʻcut-Timeʼ Hornpipe, Using Examples from the Burnett Ms
    The Quintessentially English Tune An appraisal of the ʻCut-Timeʼ Hornpipe, using examples from the Burnett Ms. c.1840 By Paul Davenport, Cert.Ed., M.Mus. This essay was written in response to the arrogant declaration in GCSE Music guidance notes which declare that a ʻsimple folk melodyʼ will only earn the candidate a minimal mark at examination. Introduction As a brief and somewhat cursory introduction to this musical form it might be said that the hornpipe appears to have begun its life in the 17th century as a tune in ʻtripleʼ time, being set in time signatures of 3/2. 6/4 or even 9/8. Gathering and retaining popularity throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, it gradually began to recede from the popular milieu in the 18th century and was effectively extinct by the early 19th century having been succeeded by its progeny the 2/2, or ʻcut-timeʼ, hornpipes. The earlier form enjoyed a revival of interest amongst vernacular musicians in the late 20th century due to the publication, by John Offord, of his collection, ʼJohn of the Greeny Cheshire Wayʼ. Players of traditional music in the North-West of England are currently particularly interested in this form of the tune. Curiously, and this is never remarked upon by the players themselves, a majority of this generation had been introduced to the 3/2 hornpipe at school via ʻThe Young Personʼs Guide to the Orchestraʼ by Britten whose musical vehicle was Purcellʼs ʻRondo in Abdelazerʼ. This melody is a triple time hornpipe, one of two in the larger work, the second being published in the guise of a country dance tune by Playford as, ʻThe Hole in the Wallʼ.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CmCHESTER an accredited college of the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT DANCE Doctor of Philosophy DANCE, SPACE AND SUBJECTIVITY by Valerie A. Briginshaw This thesis has been completed as a requirement for a higher degree of the University of Southampton Thisthesis, by examining relationships between dancing bodies and space, argues that postmodern dance can challenge traditional representations of subjectivity and suggest alternatives. Through close readings of postmodern dances, informed by current critical theory, constructions of subjectivity are explored. The limits and extent of subjectivity are exposed when and where bodies meet space. Through a precise focus on this body/space interface, I reveal various ways in which dance can challenge, trouble and question fixed perceptions of subjectivity. The representation in dance of the constituents of difference that partly make up subjectivity, (such as gender, 'race', sexuality and ability), is a main focus in the exploration of body/space relationships presented in the thesis. Based on the premise that dance, space and subjectivity are constructions that can mutually inform and construct each other, this thesis offers frameworks for exploring space and subjectivity in dance. These explorations draw on a selective reading of pertinent poststructuralist theories which are all concerned with critiquing the premises of Western philosophy, which revolve around the concept of an ideal, rational, unified subject, which, in turn, relies on dualistic thinking that enforces a way of seeing things in terms of binary oppositions.

  • Paradigmatic of Folk Music Tradition?
    ‘Fiddlers’ Tunebooks’ - Vernacular Instrumental Manuscript Sources 1860-c1880: Paradigmatic of Folk Music Tradition? By: Rebecca Emma Dellow A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music June 2018 2 Abstract Fiddlers’ Tunebooks are handwritten manuscript books preserving remnants of a largely amateur, monophonic, instrumental practice. These sources are vastly under- explored academically, reflecting a wider omission in scholarship of instrumental music participated in by ‘ordinary’ people in nineteenth-century England. The tunebooks generate interest amongst current folk music enthusiasts, and as such can be subject to a “burden of expectation”,1 in the belief that they represent folk music tradition. Yet both the concepts of tradition and folk music are problematic. By considering folk music from both an inherited perspective and a modern scholarly interpretation, this thesis examines the place of the tunebooks in notions of English folk music tradition. A historical musicological methodology is applied to three post-1850 case-study manuscripts drawing specifically on source studies, archival research and quantitative analysis. The study explores compilers’ demographic traits and examines content, establishing the existence of a heterogeneous repertoire copied from contemporary textual sources directly into the tunebooks. This raises important questions regarding the role played by publishers and the concept of continuous survival in notions of tradition. A significant finding reveals the interaction between aural and literate practices, having important implications in the inward and outward transmission and in wider historical application. The function of both the manuscripts and the musical practice is explored and the compilers’ acquisition of skill and sources is examined.
