Professor Childs will give an illustrated overview of the band’s 155-year history, beginning with rare music taken from John Foster’s 1855 octet books, and also featuring music from the ‘golden age’ of brass bands by Elgar, Holst and Ireland. The lecture will be available as a worldwide educational resource on the Black Dyke and British Bandsman websites during and after the weekend. Speaking to BB, Nicholas Childs commented: “One of the over-riding ambitions at Black Dyke is to involve and inspire young performers to aim at the highest level. Accordingly, there will also be a young composer’s workshop led by Paul Hamlyn Award winner, Emily Howard, and a combined performance featuring Black Dyke in concert with the 60 young musicians of the Yorkshire Youth Brass Band. The British Trombone Society has also accepted an invitation to participate in Saturday’s Lower Brass Focus, when it is anticipated that 120 local players will join a sequence of daytime workshops, and we are pleased that new music, including scores by Professor Peter Graham and Philip Harper will feature prominently.” Professor Childs added: “2009 will be a special year in the band’s long and distinguished history, and the Festival and Heritage Symposium aims to pass on some of Black Dyke’s hard-won core values to future generations, to place new music alongside established repertoire and to counterpoint some stars of the future with legends of the past and present. The Festival also marks the start of the band’s five-year commissioning policy, which will culminate in 2014 with the première of a substantial new score by the leading international composer, James McMillan. We would like to acknowledge our wonderful partnership with Leeds Metropolitan University, where our accent is firmly on ‘Partnering the Past and Fostering the Future’.” The Saturday Gala Concert will feature Paul Lovatt-Cooper’s Immortal, which tells the story of the band through music and cinematic film on the large screen, while highlights of the following afternoon’s concert in Leeds Town Hall, which also features the Yorkshire Youth Band, will be the Finale from Saint Saëns’ Organ Symphony and a performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Scotland prepares for Brass Band Week The 2009 Scottish Brass Band Week runs from 23 to 31 May and will feature over 40 performances throughout Scotland. Explaining the ethos of Brass Band Week to BB, the Scottish Brass Band Association’s (SBBA’s) Vice-president, Peter Fraser, said: “The intention of Brass Band Week is to demonstrate the importance of brass bands in the cultural and musical heritage of Scotland. We hope that we can make the public at large aware of the almost unbelievably high technical and artistic standards of our top bands, and the fact that bands are active in hundreds of communities up and down the country. With over 100 bands in Scotland and many thousands of players, it is important to recognise the contribution that bands make in the field of music education and the important role that our bands play in the lives of their own local communities.” Masterful weekend Eve of Masters Gala Concert ahead at Cambridge Saturday 23 May, 7.30pm Two days of celebration are planned to mark the 21st ‘Masters’ Corn Exchange, Cambridge event held in Cambridge. Now known as the All-England Masters International Championship, the 2009 event will see bands from across 2008 Masters Champions Europe performing Masters of Space and Time by Bruce Broughton. Desford Colliery Band The evening before, the current champion band, Desford Colliery, will take to the Corn Exchange stage for the pre-Masters Gala Concert. Jason Katsikaris will direct the Midlands champion through an eclectic programme, including Richard Rodgers’ Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Sandy Smith’s magnificent transcription of Khachaturian’s Fire from Gayeneh. Prior to the announcement of the results on the Sunday, Richard Evans will be presented with the 2009 Masters Dedicated Service Award. The event organiser, Philip Biggs, explained: “Richard is a role-model. His totally dedicated and inspirational service as a player, conductor and musician, as well as his second-to-none motivational qualities, make him a most worthy recipient.” The celebrations will continue with a special concert featuring British Open Champion, Foden’s Band, under the batons of Garry Cutt and Bramwell Tovey. The band will take the stage in the first half, presenting music from Eric Ball, Berlioz and Gilbert Vinter, as well as featuring its celebrated soloists, Glyn Williams (euphonium) and Leslie Neish (tuba). The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain (under Bramwell Tickets from £8 Tovey) will make a return visit to the Corn Exchange, having been a featured ensemble at this event in the past. These talented youngsters Telephone 01223 357851 will perform Simon Dobson’s Penlee, Malcolm Arnold’s Little Suite for or 01223 234090 Brass, Morley Calvert’s Canadian Folk Song Suite and Bramwell Tovey’s Pictures in the Smoke, with the composer at the piano.

It is evident that the phrase “out of sight is out of mind” applies to the longest season of the church year, but then Martin Luther did refer that the Holy Spirit, which is the centerpiece of the season of Pentecost, is the “bashful member of the Trinity”, nonetheless, as the Holy Spirit is the ongoing presence of God in the world, it is important that we do not forget about the Spirit. We are not in this life alone; God is with us: The Lutheran church of the Baroque observed three days of Pentecost. Some composers wrote sacred cantatas to be performed in the church services of these days. Johann Sebastian Bach composed several cantatas for days of Pentecost, including Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten ! BWV 172 in 1714 and Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt , BWV 68 in 1725. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 2 From Pastor Bruce wrote cantatas such as Werdet voll Geistes (Get full of spirit) in 1737. Mozart composed an antiphon Veni Sancte Spiritus in 1768. Olivier Messiaen composed an organ mass Messe de la Pentecôte in 1949/50.

  • Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band
    Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band Gavin Holman – June 2019 This band was probably formed in the mid-1890s. The first known mention is its appearance at a contest at Middleton in April 1897. It was strongly linked to the Bleach and Dye Works at Rhodes, near Middleton. The band’s conductor for most of its life was John H. White. It was disbanded on 9th December 1909. The Bleach Works was Obadiah Ashworth and Co. (bleachers, dyers, finishers, embossers, &c.), Rhodes Bleach and Dye Works, Middleton. It was one of several similar industries in Rhodes and Middleton, part of the larger fabric, weaving, finishing, and garment manufacturing industrial belt in northern Manchester and across to Yorkshire. Obadiah Ashworth founded the company and went into partnership with James W. Jones. Upon the death of Ashworth in 1874, James Jones continued the business as sole owner, but retained the Ashworth name. He was later instrumental in establishing and supporting the Bleachworks Band. In addition to these brief notes, the band’s Treasurer’s Notebook, covering the years 1898 to 1909, is transcribed below. This is followed by a brief sketch of the conductor John White. No known photographs of the band survive, although at least four “formal” photos were taken, as recorded in the Treasurer’s notebook. A typical concert of the band, at St Michael's Flags park, in August 1903, with conductor J.H. White, consisted of: Hymn; March: Silver Trumpets (Viviani); Overture: Poet & Peasant (Suppé); Fantasia: Joan of Arc (Round); Trombone solo: Ora Pro Nobilis (Piccolomini); Selection: Idomeneo (Mozart); Air Varie: Eventide (Rimmer); Chorus: The Heavens are Telling (Haydn).

W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

  • June & July 2018 Issue 4
    £1 June & July 2018 © Trustees of the British Museum Issue 4 “Celebrating God’s presence in all people.” www.cofeinsaddleworth.org.uk - - - 2 - The Rector writes... The disciples of Jesus said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’. These were people who were familiar with Jewish customs and familiar with ritual prayer, structured prayer, formulaic prayer. Yet they asked Jesus to teach them something deeper, something that would sustain them. They recognised in Jesus that his relationship with God went beyond the familiar strict boundaries of known prayer. Frequently recently I have been approached with the same request, ‘Teach us to pray’. It is a cry from the heart. It expresses a desire to be drawn into a deeper life with God; into something that is more than that with which we are familiar. It is a yearning to inhabit a way of living that embraces mystery and silence. It is a desire to live Index more deeply and more meaningfully in a world where human value is primarily seen through the eyes of productivity, usefulness and Page success. Silence, which lies at the very heart of prayer, is The Rector writes 3 counter-intuitive in a world of competing, justifying, comparing and Benefice Who’s Who 4 winning.

He’s the one who put together many of the pieces from the census data and the church archives to let us know about the Fountain, Cartwright and Oldfield Families. In Memorial Margaret Joyce Fountain Acey 1937-1990 Though she died before ever passing her legacies onto her grandchildren, Some of her legacy lives on through these memories of her as a child and young woman as provided By her Mother, Elsie Taylor Fountain Paine in 1991. She was born at Beech Mount Maternity Home in Harpurhey. She was above average intelligence, bus sadly she wasn’t too fond of studying. She first went to New Moston Primary School; then for two years, with her friend Sylvia, to a Private School. After that she went back to New Moston School to prepare for taking a scholarship exam. She won a scholarship to Chadderton Grammar School which she attended for about two years. We then bought a hardware store outside of Oldham at a place called Grotton, too far for her to travel to Chadderton, so we transferred her to Hulme Grammar School, Oldham, the best school in the area. Sometime during her schooling she was sent to music lessons with a very good teacher and she was so clever that she turned out to be the star pupil at all the concerts the teacher put on and was given the most difficult pieces to perform.

  • This Month, May, Sunday 10Am Worship at St James Point Lonsdale (June at St George’S Queenscliff)
    THIS MONTH, MAY, SUNDAY 10AM WORSHIP AT ST JAMES POINT LONSDALE (JUNE AT ST GEORGE’S QUEENSCLIFF) Dear people of St George's and St James', A book that I keep coming back to around this “Pentecost” time of year is “The Go-Between God”, first published in 1973 by Bishop John V. Taylor. Some of his words: “...the primary effect of the Pentecost experience was to fuse the individuals of the company into a fellowship which in the same moment was caught up into the life of the risen Lord. In a new awareness of Him and of one another they burst into praise, and the world came running for an explanation. In other words, the gift of the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of the church first enables Christians to “be”. And only as a consequence of that sends them to do and to speak”. I suppose that these days we don't often see people “”running to us for an explanation”” about who we are and what we believe ! But we do need to be alert to welcome and support those (often shy) “searchers” who might , from time to time, ask us tricky questions... or even drift into our church services. • Let us be confident and know that as the Holy Spirit dwells in us we will be given the right words and the right actions appropriate to the occasion. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if there is anything I can do for you whilst Peter is on leave. Tim Gibson – ph.

  • The Poetry of Brass Bands
    The poetry of brass bands Gavin Holman 28 September 2017 (National Poetry Day) - updated May 2020 Over the years several brass bands have been immortalised in poetry. From those lauding their heroes to the ones which are critical or even insulting. From the earliest days poets have found something in the music of the bands and the people who play in them to inspire their muse. I think it is fair to say that most of the writers would not have made a career out of their works - some are certainly more William McGonagall than William Wordsworth – but nonetheless they are priceless views of the bands and bandsmen. 99 examples of odes to the bands of the past are provided here for your enjoyment.
