THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY, LTD., Education Department, 363.367, OXFORD STREET, LONDON, W.l. PREFACE

'' \{/HAr:re:;ff ri: J ;;1,:"' *TI ::T*J; is an attempt to answer it, The General Catalogue is embarrassingly full of good things and the busy teacher hardly knows where to begin, or upon what music the choice is to fall.

This little Cataiogue, then, besides showing the fuli range of special educational records, also contains a number of short lists of records covering every need the teacher is likely to experience. Should the complete recorded works of any composer be wanted, reference to the General Catalogue (which should be kept with this one) will at once show what these are. Do not fail to have the monthly and mid-monthly lists of new issues of records sent to you by your dealer, for only thus can you be aware of what is being published' We shall welcome any criticisms of, or suggestions for, the improvement of this Catalogue.

~~ENGLISH FOLK DANCES Collected and arranged by Cecil Sharp~~

, .Twenty-five.-years-_ ago England was considered an unmusical nation, but thanks to the collections of {olk-music made by Cecil Sharp and otheri dt has been proved that it possesses a store of traditional -o.i" ri"tr ut that of any other European country. ". In addition to the-songs it his many hundreds of dancc-tunes, each of which is associated with a particular d-ance-form. These rvere orieina[v ritual dances, but are now per{brmed aimost entirely for the artistic pi;;;";; they ,afrord.. They_are a[ team-dances and {all-under three heJaings_ Sword, l\Iorris and Country Dances. The Sword and Morris arc spectacular dances performed for the eniov- ment of the spectators as well a1 Ior that of the d'anccrs. They .Lo',. danc,es-although in the present $ay t_hey are also {reely danced 6y "r",uomeo_ and they_require physical strellgth and agility. The Country Dance is a iocial anii recreational dance oer{ormed bv men and women together. The steps are few and simple, a'nd the ,j:,nc'e derives artistic expression largely from the variety of figures and their perfect relalionship to the accompanving musical- phrasel. Alilrough a hn i sense of rhythm, and the experience to translate it into physical m]ove- m:nt, is required to make an aicomplisherl dancer, the novic6 can derive pleasure from dancing equally with the skilled perlormer. dances , are published with full instructibns by Messrs. Novello & Co., 160,^^T-lg Wardour Street, London, \V.1. rt is advisable for those not already acquainted with the dances to seeli practical instruction, and thjs r . be obtained in the classes antl vacation Schools held by The Englislr Folk Dance Societv, which has brancrres in all parts oi lhe United l(ingdonr and in America. Bv means of countrv Dance Parties the Society Jlso provides opportunitied for the of the practice of the dances. ""j;t;;;i The address of the Socicty is I07, Great Russell Street, Londorr, W.C.l. The records will be {ound of ure greatest varue to d.ancers'on those occasions (alas ! all too frequent) when 1 first-rate musician is not availatle as accompanist.. Although. the tunes hav,e been recorded primarily for the benefit of dancers, their musical excellence is such that even ivhen divorced from their. purpose as dance-accompaniments, they will gl"u g..ui enjoyment to the listener. _ . The records produced during Mr. Sharp's lifetime were made under hlq_ personal direction, and those recently published under the supervision of Miss Maud Karpcles.

TOM CLOUGH (The Northumbrian Pipes) 'Ihe Northumbrian Pipes differ {rom the Scottish and irish in several ways. They are peculiarly home instruments, not suitable for the open air. Staccato playing, which is impossible on the Scottish pipes, is an important feature of Northumbrian music. The tone is something between those of an oboe and a clarinet, clear and mellow. Tom Clough was born at Newsham in Northumberland, and is descended from a long line of pipers; in fact, Clough in Northumberland is synonymous with small pipes. He exhibited the instrument befofe King Edward VII and other dis- tinguished audiences, as weII as in Holland and Germany, as a reprcsentative of British Folk Music.

COfi,LOQUIAL FRENCH F.OR. THE EI\TGLISH A PRACTICAL COURSE FOR LEARNING TO SPEAK FRENCH WITH THE AID OF .. }ITS I\IASTER'S VOICE '' GRAMOPHONE RECORDS Compiled by E. M. St6phan, Senior Lectwrer in French, Uniuersity College, Lotdon. I ; and. Daniel Jones, Professor of Pltonetics, Uniaersity l Coll;ge, London This rrnique Course of Study consists of 15 Double-sided " His Master's rVoue " Gramophone Rccords, a Text Book and Key Rook, togetller with a .durable Album of speciai design to hold the records. It is intended to renatth Lnglish people to learn to speak French and to understand French whcn spolien. The Course differs {rom other methods in being based from tihe clerrrentary to the advanced stages on a set of Gramophone Records, rri[ih.a,oo,n:rplcteness and detail that render it absolutely se]f-Contained. Tbe (Cou'rse is suited to learnprs of all ages. It is particularly designed for tjrose *1iho ihave to learn and speak French without a teacher. Although cornprehenoive ibo thc last degree, tlre Course is planned on " populai" lines, and caco he studied rvith equal advantage by the student or the " man in tlie street." An outstanding featr,lr,e is the masterly rvay in which the authors have made use of the modem appr.hcation oI phonetics in order to secure accurate pronunciation. _ " Colloqtial French for the trnglish " makes the study of French a Iascinating-occupation.-_ It i! alive-a thing of the present diy-and dispels the classic but very dull futilitics on " the pen of the gardenei's aunt " lnd like encumbrances- It is invaluable to every business man and lvoman who finds daily that a lack of knorvledge of this almost universal language is a serious handicap, and also to those tvho, in these days, make at-leait an annual trip to France for recreation and experience. _ It is the greatest contribution to self-education, apart from music, rrlftat the gramophone has rnade in any country. The Records.-There are l5 l2-inch Double-sided Plurn Label Records, I the dontents of rvhich are detailecl belorv. A strictly progresive order is ,obsersrcd. Sides I and 2 of the lirst record are dealt rvitli in Chapters I tn V , of the Text Rook. sides 3 and 4 in Chaptcrs V to XI, and so on to the end rol the C,ourse. .A feature of great utility is the division, .n'hcre necessary, of the contents .*f tlhe reoords into sections. Each such section is indicated in the Tcxt Boo\,;rrrrtl ,portions of the various lessons can be played over without the trouble 4 _'',fistr,ing " with the oeedle for the part required, and, o{ course, tirc possir\d-f ,of danqaging tlrc rccord in so doing. 35 EDUCATIONA^L CATALOCUE LIST OF THI' RECOI{DS.
