  • The BBC National Orchestra of Wales Is the Nation's Only Full-Time
    CC(3) AC 11 Communities and Culture Committee Inquiry into the „accessibility of arts and cultural activities in Wales‟ Submission by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales We are grateful for the opportunity to provide evidence for the Committee‟s Inquiry. The first part of our submission provides an overview of the Orchestra‟s work. The second part addresses a number of questions posed in the consultation letter. A. Background The BBC National Orchestra of Wales (BBC NOW) is the nation‟s only full-time professional symphony orchestra. It has an established reputation as one of the leading orchestral ensembles in the UK. It has won considerable audience and critical acclaim in recent years, under its conducting team, led by Thierry Fischer. The Orchestra‟s home is the newly-built Hoddinott Hall at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, and it produces extensive output for BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru. With the crucial funding support of Arts Council Wales, the Orchestra has also developed a major national role, touring throughout Wales each year (this role is described in more detail in our response to question 1) and delivering a highly-regarded community outreach and education programme (please see our response to question 2). In any one season, BBC NOW strives to present a broad repertoire of both past and contemporary music to allow audiences to experience works drawn from the whole panoply of orchestral music – from the baroque to present day film and jazz. The Orchestra works with a wide range of contemporary composers and has two positions specifically for composers within its artistic roster.

  • Braids of Song Gwead Y Gân
    Braids of Song Gwead y Gân by Mari Morgan BMus (Hons), MA. Supervised by: Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams Submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing University of Wales Trinity Saint David 2019 Er cof am fy nhad, Y Parchedig E D Morgan a ddiogelodd drysor. In memory of my father, the Reverend E D Morgan who preserved a treasure. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With grateful thanks for the generous support of: North America Wales Foundation (Dr Philip Davies and Hefina Phillips) Welsh Women’s Clubs of America (Barbara Crysler) Welsh Society of Philadelphia (Jack R. Williams, Jr.) Diolch o galon: for the experience and guidance of my supervisors, Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams, for the friendship and encouragement of Karen Rice, for my siblings always, Nest ac Arwel, for the love and steadfast support of Lisa E Hopkins, and for the unconditional love of my mother, Thelma Morgan. Diolch am fod yn gefn. iv Abstract The desire to recognise the richness, humanity, and cross fertilisation of cultures and identities that built today’s America is the starting point for Braids of Song. Its overarching concerns trace the interrelation between immigration, identity and creativity within a Welsh Trans-Atlantic context. Braids of Song is a mixed-genre collection of stories that acknowledges the preciousness of culture; in particular, the music, which is both able to cross different linguistic boundaries and to breach those between melody and language itself. The stories are shared through four intertwined narrative strands in a mixture of literary styles, ranging from creative non-fiction essays and poems to dramatic monologues.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Joseph Parry in Aberystwyth Text of a Talk Given by Frank Bott to the Aberystwyth Civic Society on May 9Th 2012
    Joseph Parry in Aberystwyth Text of a talk given by Frank Bott to the Aberystwyth Civic Society on May 9th 2012 I’m sure the name of Joseph Parry will be familiar to most of you, if only because of the Joseph Parry Hall in Laura Place. But for those of you who are not quite sure who he was or why I should be talking about him, the best thing I can say is that he was the composer of the hymn tune Aberystwyth, which has carried the name of this town across most of the English-speaking world. The tune was written by Parry, when he was Professor of Music here, indeed, the first professor of Music in Wales. It was first sung in 1879 in the English Congregational Chapel in Portland Street, which is now the Church Surgery and on the front of which the Civic Society has placed a plaque commemorating the occasion. You may also be familiar with Joseph Parry from the television mini-series shown in 1983. This was an adaptation of a biographical novel about Parry, written by the Anglo-Welsh novelist, Jack Jones, from the Rhondda, called “Off to Philadelphia in the Morning”. It starred David Lyn as Joseph Parry and Siân Phillips as Myfanwy Llywellyn, Parry’s childhood sweetheart (according to Jack Jones) who became a famous opera singer. It is a very enjoyable novel and was a great success on television. Unfortunately, although Jack Jones never claimed the work was anything other than a fictionalised biography, much of what he invented has become generally accepted as true.
