  • Julian Marshall and the British Museum: Music Collecting in the Later Nineteenth Century
    JULIAN MARSHALL AND THE BRITISH MUSEUM: MUSIC COLLECTING IN THE LATER NINETEENTH CENTURY ARTHUR SEARLE IN the second volume of Sir George Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians^ which appeared in 1880, there is a descriptive list of private music libraries in the British Isles.* First, understandably enough, is the Royal Music Library at Buckingham Palace; the next two libraries listed are those of Sir Arthur Frederick Gore Ouseley and of Mr Julian Marshall. The entire Royal Music Library is now in the British Library by royal gift; the whole of Ouseley's collection passed to his foundation of St Michael's College, Tenbury. These two libraries have been catalogued in some detail and both the process of their assembly and the personalities involved have been explored.^ Only two substantial parts of Marshall's collection remain intact: his printed Handel scores and libretti, now in the National Library of Scotland, and the major part of his manuscript music in the British Library.^ Marshall's name remains almost unknown, and to many musicologists his book- plate, which is still easy enough to encounter, complicates rather than simplifies the problem of provenance. The only source for the basic facts of Marshall's life is the brief notice of him given in the Dictionary of National Biography. He was born in Yorkshire in 1836, the younger son of an industrial and political family, was educated privately and at Harrow, and, for a while in the later 1850s, worked in the family flax spinning business. During those years he sang in the choir of Leeds parish church under Samuel Sebastian Wesley and played a part in the establishment ofthe first Leeds festival in 1858.

  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

One hundred years ago, the then headmaster of St Paul’s Cathedral Choir School, Reverend R H Couchman, joined his colleagues from King’s College School, Cambridge and Westminster Abbey Choir School to consider the sustainability of choir schools in the light of rigorous inspections of independent schools and regulations governing the employment of children being introduced under the terms of the Fisher Education Act. Although cathedral choristers were quickly exempted from the new employment legislation, the meeting led to the formation of the CSA, and Couchman was its honorary secretary until his retirement in 1937. He, more than anyone, ensured that it developed strongly, wrote Alan Mould, former headmaster of St John’s College School, Cambridge, in The English

  • The-History-Of-The-Minster-School PDF File Download
    The History of the Minster School I. Introduction The present Southwell Minster School came into being in September 1976 as an 11-18, co- educational comprehensive. One of its "ancestors" was a grammar school, established in the Middle Ages. No precise date can be given to the grammar school's foundation. It was always a small school - on a number of occasions in danger of ceasing to exist. It did not develop a reputation for producing pupils who became household names, nor did it set any trends in education. Yet, through descent from the Grammar School, the Minster School is part of a line of development which may go back further than that represented by any other English school now outside the private sector. And, precisely because the Grammar School, and the other ancestors of the modern comprehensive, were not too much out of the ordinary, their story is the more important. II. The Grammar School 1. The Origins of the Grammar School The earliest schools were linked to a monastery, cathedral or other large church, such as the Minster at Southwell. Such "grammar" schools were at first very small - made up of perhaps less than twenty boys. Pupils probably started to attend between the ages of nine and twelve. Southwell's grammar school may have been created at the same time as its Minster - to provide education for Minster choristers. The Minster is thought to have been founded soon after the Saxon King Edwy gave lands in Southwell to Oscetel, Archbishop of York, in a charter dating from between 955 and 959.
