  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.

  • History of Cornish Dance and Its Origins
    History of Cornish Dance Folk dance is more than just a collection of steps movement and music; it is a form of human expression and its essence lies within its community role and social context rather than purely commercial or artistic interests. Sharp was riding the crest of European romantic nationalism when he collected, and mediated, folk dances as an expression of Englishness in the first quarter of the twentieth century. At much the same time there was a parallel, but Celtic, revivalist movement in Cornwall. As well as identifying with the revival of the Cornish language and links with the other Celtic communities this movement was also pro-active in recording and promoting folk customs, including dance. The story of folk dance in Cornwall, from medieval roots, through narratives of the nineteenth Century folklorists, the activity of the Celtic revivalists and on to the present day, is a fascinating one that reflects the distinct cultural profile of Cornwall. A tantalising glimpse of medieval dance in Cornwall is provided a twelfth Century Cornish / Latin vocabulary which was written to aid the learning of Latin. It is a short vocabulary of common words people were expected to be familiar with and includes the translation of the Cornish lappior as saltator and lappiores as saltatrix; male and female dancer respectively. Lapyeor continued to be used as a dialect term for dancer in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and by the early twentieth century was associated with step dancing. It is poignant to learn that the small boys employed as surface workers in the tin industry were called lapyeors because one of their first tasks was to aid separation of the ore as it was washed by “dancing” on it ankle deep in the cold water.

  • Tam Kernewek
    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 3 Fall 2014 Cornish American Heritage Society Cornish American Heritage 48 Presidents’ Messages I can't believe the excitement of the 17th Gathering is over! It has been a whirlwind and a great success. The Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee pulled it off well, if I do say so myself. Thanks to all the great presenters and Cornish Cous- ins who really made it a family reunion. It was a pleasure meeting many names I had only read before. I am so happy that Kathryn Herman has agreed to take over as president. After two years of working with her on the plan- ning committee, I know she is a woman of great organization and imagination. Her knowledge of Cornwall and connec- tions there will give the CAHS a direction I couldn't give. I will be happy to continue serving as an officer (historian), so I can work on projects for the Society. As I hand over the role of president to Kathryn, I will be finishing up some things started at the Gathering. (And Kathryn deserves to catch her breath!) Our business meeting was cut short. Ultimately that may be an advantage, since some questions might be better addressed via e-mails with the participants, rather than a hurried discussion we would have had there. If any of the CAHS members not present at the Gathering would like to be included in the discussion, please write me. Again, thanks to all for the great Gathering! It is now a matter of continuing the energy we had in Milwaukee.

  • Curnow's Cornish Calendar No 11
    Curnow’s Cornish Calendar No 11 Porthleven & the 16th Sunday after Trinity 5 October 2003 With a rare free Sunday evening we headed for Porthleven near Helston. An arrangement with Beatrice Kerno-Plummer gave us access to one of her flats overlooking the harbour. Construction of the harbour began in 1811 with demand for coal to supply mines. In 1824 it was completely washed away. In 1855 Harvey and Co from Hayle leased and improved the harbour. Two cannons either side of the harbour were fired at Napoleon’s navy during the battle of Brest. It was Harvest Thanksgiving at Sithney and being the guests of Beatrice we were short on details. It was not surprising that after a look at the harbour that we ended up at Sithney, a little country village not far away to have afternoon tea at the home of Isobel Martin and her son Tom. (Relatives of Rev Robyn Pryor who was a colleague in our Blackburn Parish (Victoria) whom we had visited 12 months before.) Our company included three true blue Cornish ladies and five Cornish Bards, Neil Plummer, Beatrice, Vivian Pryor, Bill and Gwen Phillips from Victoria, Australia. At 5.55pm with the church bell tolling we stepped across the road onto the path of the Churchyard. The Cornish flag enjoyed a stiff breeze on the top on the Bell tower. I noted one slate headstone dated 1789 and it seemed that no one had cut the grass since the 18 Century!!! I was ready to experience a sung Harvest Thanksgiving Evensong. When visiting Cornish Bards and members of the Old Cornish Society were welcomed I realised that we were associating with esteemed company indeed!! Six parallel granite arches stretched the length of the old church with small chapels and altars either side.

  • Music and the Cornish Way of Life Barbara Gardner-Bray
    Music and the Cornish way of life Barbara Gardner-Bray. November 2010 Simply put, Cornish music is folk music which uses simple instrumentation. It was and is a statement of the times, not unlike the Celtic music of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Over the years, music has played an important part in most occasions in Cornwall, be they holidays such as Christmas, festivals and celebrations such as May Day, county fairs or everyday life occurrences, such as marriages, burials, harvest time and so on. HOLIDAYS Christmas In the 19th century, carol or “curl” singing formed a prominent part of the festive season. Choirs would memorize carols as they generally couldn’t read music. They would travel from village to village, singing carols such as the “Seven Joys of Mary”, the “Holy Well”, and the “Holly and the Ivy”. A typical Christmas song of the 19th century went like this: “Welcome Christmas which brings us all good cheer Pies and puddings, roast pork and strong beer” Then the chorus reads “Come let me taste your Christmas beer That is so very strong And I do wish that Christmas time With all its mirth and song Was twenty times so long” As with other Cornish music, carols were introduced wherever the Cornish lived in the new world and old. 1 Richard Jose One Cornish singer of note was Richard Jose. Richard was born on June 5, 1862 in Lanner, Cornwall. He always said that he was born in 1869 so he would appear to be younger. He sounded younger than his years as he was a counter tenor (between a tenor and a soprano) which was very rare.

  • LIFE in CORNWALL in a Village Called Herland Cross, Cornwall
    Alma Ward Hampton Memoir Page 1 LIFE IN CORNWALL In a village called Herland Cross, Cornwall, England, lived John Hampton (born about 1814), who married Elizabeth Curtis (Born about 1818). John rented or leased land which was near Godolphin Cross where the owner of the Estate lived, which contained a house and shed and land enough to keep a few cows and chickens. Over the years they had three sons and three daughters, John, Grace, William, Annie, James and Elizabeth. William known as Billy, who eventually came to Maple Ridge in the year 1879, was born February 19, 1854, and it is his story that will be related. For centuries Cornwall has been famous for its copper, tin and lead, and ships came from afar to obtain them. In those times work was provided for women and children at the surface which they called "the Bal a Celtic name for "mine place". Ore was brought up and placed on tables and was then broken into small pieces with hammers. At an early age, Billy did this work, until he was old enough to go down into a mine to work. At this time it was tin that was mined. The men went down the mine shaft in a bucket to a great depth. Sometimes they were given a fast ride for a prank, which was rather scary. Here he learned how to hammer in the iron drill, which they called a needle, to make a hole for the gunpowder for blasting. In the early days they used a goose quill for the fuse.
