Mathematics TODAY JUNE 2018 98 Similar traditions once occurred in the nearby towns of Lizard and Penryn, but have since died out. There also appear to be con- nections with other May-time festivals in the south-west penin- sula, including the ’Obby ’Oss festival in Padstow and the Hunt- ing of the Earl of Rone in Combe Martin. The chief reason for the fame of the Furry Dance is the distinc- tive tune played throughout the day by the town band. In 1911, a London-based composer, Katie Moss, visited Helston, and joined in the Furry Dance. Inspired, on the train home she wrote words to (a modified version of) the tune in order to describe her expe- © Thomas Langlands | Dreamstime.com rience.

  • 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.

  • A History of the University of Illinois British Brass Band, 1981 to the Present
    A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS BRITISH BRASS BAND, 1981 TO THE PRESENT BY MAUREEN V. REAGAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Mark Moore, Chair Associate Professor Christina Bashford, Director of Research Professor Erik Lund Professor Jeffrey Magee ABSTRACT On November 15, 1981, the University of Illinois British Brass Band performed its first concert, conducted by University of Illinois Assistant Director of Bands James Curnow. The ensemble’s antecedents lay in the brass bands established in Victorian England that were populated by members of the working classes, while its 1980s founding occurred in the national context of an increase in British-style brass band activity in the United States that included the formation of the North American Brass Band Association, dedicated to fostering the British-style brass band movement in the US and Canada. Several key factors contributed to the success and longevity of the University of Illinois British Brass Band, including certain characteristics of the University of Illinois Bands program and the institutional support given to the ensemble. Through analysis and synthesis of personal interviews and archival research, this dissertation reveals the identity of the ensemble as modeled on the traditional British brass band
