  • The Generations Tunebook Was Born of Necessity During the Course of an Educational Initiative Called, ‘The Generations Project’
    South Riding Folk Arts Network The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport The Generations Tune Book The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport South Riding Folk Arts Network © 2005 The Generations Tune Book Introduction The Generations Tunebook was born of necessity during the course of an educational initiative called, ‘The Generations Project’. The project itself was initially, a simple exercise in Citizenship in a large South Yorkshire comprehensive school. The motivation behind this was to place teenagers at the heart of their community. The results of this venture had repercussions which are still being felt in the small mining town of Maltby which lies in the borough of Rotherham, not far from Sheffield. In 2002, the music department at Maltby Comprehensive School in partnership with the South Riding Folk Arts Network set about the task of teaching a group of 13 and 14 years old students the longsword dance. In this undertaking much support and encouragement was given by the national folk organisation, the English Folk Dance & Song Society. A group of students learned the dance whilst others learned to play the tunes to accompany the performance. Financial support from the school’s PTA allowed Head of Art, Liz Davenport, to create the striking costumes worn by the dancers. More support appeared in the form of folk arts development agency Folk South West who generously discounted their ‘College Hornpipe’ tunebook for the project. Players of orchestral instruments suddenly found themselves being extended by the apparently ‘simple’ melodies arranged by Paul Burgess.

  • 1 Traditional Song Forum Meeting, 12 Apr 2014 Held at Central Library, Plymouth the Meeting Was Held at the Central Library
    Traditional Song Forum Meeting, 12 Apr 2014 Held at Central Library, Plymouth The meeting was held at The Central Library, Plymouth and was chaired by Paul Wilson. The meeting was arranged jointly with the Music Section of the Devonshire Association and with Plymouth City Library. Seven TSF members attended the morning session. The number swelled to twenty-six as a number of local guests joined us for the afternoon talks. The low numbers were due, in part, to the difficulties arising from the storm damage to the rail network in the Southwest. Following a welcome from the Plymouth Library team, and an outline of arrangements for the day by Alan Rosevear, the session was opened by Paul Wilson. Given the relatively small numbers of people present it was agreed that the opportunity would be taken for Martin Graebe to give those attending a guided tour of the Baring-Gould manuscripts and other items that the Library had put on display, as well as their permanent collection of his published books. Networking Session Gwilym Davies gave an update on the Gloucester Traditions project that he had talked about at the December meeting. The aim is to get as many of the songs that have been collected in Gloucestershire onto their website and then to use the material in a series of outreach projects. They are working in partnership with Gloucestershire Archives and Gloucestershire Music makers (The county music provider). Their bid to the National Lottery has now been submitted. They will be using the ABC format for digitising the tunes. An important part of the work – and a technical term new to most of those present – was ‘de-duping’.

    Newsletter April 2020 Already in 2020, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (RPCO) experienced a number of firsts, before we experienced a rather abrupt halt to our diary plans! Please see below for an insight to the life of the RPCO: The Orchestra’s first engagement for 2020 was to a festival in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia. This was a new territory for the organisation being our first ever visit to the country. The Winter In Tantora Festival is in a remote part of the country in the middle of the desert, where a very impressive concert hall has been specially built. The Orchestra’s journey there was long and challenging but the Festival organisers were very welcoming and kindly gave us a tour of the locality and historic sites. Our performance in the brand new (and still some finishing touches to be completed) concert hall was with the wonderful José Carreras conducted by Paul Bateman. Needless to say, it was a very special evening and broadcast on the Arab State TV service.
