In College Green ii. Song for Amanda iii. Minuet iv. Largo (The tender lover) v. Rigaudon Arthur Duff showed early promise as a musician. He was a chorister at Dublin’s Christ Church Cathedral and studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, taking his degree in music at Trinity College, Dublin. He was later awarded a doctorate in music in 1942. Duff had initially intended to enter the Church of Ireland as a priest, but abandoned his studies in favour of a career in music, studying composition for a time with Hamilton Harty. He was organist and choirmaster at Christ Church, Bray, for a short time before becoming a bandmaster in the Army School of Music and conductor of the Army No. 2 band based in Cork. He left the army in 1931, at the same time that his short-lived marriage broke down, and became Music Director at the Abbey Theatre, writing music for plays such as W.B. Yeats’s The King of the Great Clock Tower and Resurrection, and Denis Johnston’s A Bride for the Unicorn. The Abbey connection also led to the composition of one of Duff’s characteristic works, the Drinking Horn Suite (1953 but drawing on music he had composed twenty years earlier as a ballet score).

8659.01 GCSE NEW SPEC Music Paper 2 MS Summer 2014.Indd
General Certificate of Secondary Education 2014 Music Part 2 Listening and Appraising (Optional Areas of Study) [G9704] MONDAY 2 JUNE, AFTERNOON MARK SCHEME 8659.01F General Marking Instructions Introduction Mark schemes are published to assist teachers and students in their preparation for examinations. Through the mark schemes teachers and students will be able to see what examiners are looking for in response to questions and exactly where the marks have been awarded. The publishing of the mark schemes may help to show that examiners are not concerned about fi nding out what a student does not know but rather with rewarding students for what they do know. The purpose of Mark Schemes Examination papers are set and revised by teams of examiners and revisers appointed by the Council. The teams of examiners and revisers include experienced teachers who are familiar with the level and standards expected of students in schools and colleges. The job of the examiners is to set the questions and the mark schemes; and the job of the revisers is to review the questions and mark schemes commenting on a large range of issues about which they must be satisfi ed before the question papers and mark schemes are fi nalised. The questions and the mark schemes are developed in association with each other so that the issues of differentiation and positive achievement can be addressed right from the start. Mark schemes, therefore, are regarded as part of an integral process which begins with the setting of questions and ends with the marking of the examination. The main purpose of the mark scheme is to provide a uniform basis for the marking process so that all the markers are following exactly the same instructions and making the same judgements in so far as this is possible.

DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama introduced the first Music Performance degree in Ireland in 1987, forever ending the talent-drain of young performers leaving Ireland in search ofan undergraduate degree elsewhere. Heading out to a different country and culture and entering some of the toughest music training programmes in the world is a tall order for any first year student. Several decades ago I was one of those young performers and four years in New York City quickly turned into twenty years in America.

WATCH rte.ie/culture LISTEN RTÉ lyric fm GRIEG Holberg Suite TCHAIKOVSKY Serenade for Strings RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra David Brophy conductor Presented by Paul Herriott, RTÉ lyric fm FRIDAY 6 NOVEMBER 2020, 7pm NATIONAL CONCERT HALL 1 Edvard Grieg 1843-1907 Holberg Suite for Strings, Op. 40 i. Praeludium ii. Sarabande iii. Gavotte iv. Air v. Rigaudon For over 400 years, Norway was dominated politically and culturally by Denmark: its official language was Danish and its capital city, today’s Oslo, was Kristiania. With the rise of nationalism throughout Europe in the late eighteenth century, independence movements began in many European countries which were subject to imperial control. Norway was no exception, and its chief cultural activists were the playwright Henrik Ibsen and the violinist Ole Bull, who happened to be Grieg’s uncle. Ibsen wrote in the Norwegian language, which was virtually unrecognised in cultural circles, and yet succeeded in putting his plays at the forefront of European drama. It is no accident that Grieg composed the incidental music for Ibsen’s Peer Gynt, and thus contributed to this cultural renaissance. Grieg’s music was predominantly nationalistic in character, with his piano concerto (written in 1868 when he was only twenty-five) evoking the spirit of Norway as surely as Sibelius’s music would perform the same function for Finland a generation later. However, Norway’s experience with Denmark was the principal source of this suite. It was commissioned in 1884, along with a cantata, to commemorate the bicentenary of Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754), who, although being a native of Grieg’s own birthplace, the town of Bergen, became a leading Danish-language playwright, earning the epithet “the Molière of the North”.
