  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

    Planning Cumbria Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan 2001 – 2016 Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character Preface to Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character 1. The Deposit Structure Plan includes a policy (Policy E33) on landscape character, while the term landscape character is also used in other policies. It is important that there is clear understanding of this term and how it is to be applied in policy terms. 2. This report has been commissioned by the County Council from CAPITA Infrastructure Consultancy in Carlisle. It is currently not endorsed by the County Council. On receipt of comments the County Council will re draft the report and then publish it as a County Council document. The final version will replace two previous publications: Technical paper No 4 (1992) on the Assessment of County Landscapes and the Cumbria Landscapes Classification (1995). 3. The report explains how landscape has been characterised in Cumbria (outside the National Parks) using landscape types and provides details of the classification into 37 landscape types and sub types. A recent review of the classification of County Landscapes (now termed Landscapes of County Importance) and their detailed boundaries are also included. 4. It should be noted that this report does not constitute Structure Plan Policy. It provides background information to enable the policy to be implemented and monitored. 5.

  • Use Style: Paper Title
    2016 3rd International Conference on Social Science (ICSS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-410-3 Reading Lakescapes in Literature and Painting: From Keswick to Buttermere and Cummock Water * Jing-Dong ZHONG College of English, Zhejiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages, Shaoxing, China [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Buttermere, Crummock Water, Stillness, Literature and Painting. Abstract. This paper attempts to discuss the ways of “digging down through layers of memories and representations” to strengthen the “self-knowledge” of formulating harmonious human relations to nature as well as enjoying the natural sceneries, with the case studies of reading lakescapes in literature and painting, in which Buttermere and Crummock Water are the focus. The study examines some relative verbal and visual representations by some writers and artists and finds that although sharing in some similarities with Derwent Water in landscape features, Buttermere and Crummock Water are more prominent in a setting of stillness, and it is the very contemplation evoked by this feature that adds to their value as landscapes. Introduction Nigel Hammett(2012) once mentioned his tour along the road to Crummock Water and eventually to Buttermere. For him the latter is “the most beautiful of all lakes” and he will “never tire of” it. [1] As for the first view of the former, it struck him with the precious stillness of “an early spring day with few people and even fewer cars on the road,” when “it is possible to hear bird song and the bleat of sheep” and

  • Here Was Also the Lead up To, and Result of the American Presidential Election, Politicians in the UK Resigning, and Much Loved Personalities Dying
    Dec 2020 / St George, Castle Street, Kendal Jan 2021 www.kendalstgeorge.com From the Priest in Charge Another year is nearly over and what a year it has been. Perhaps remembered best as a year of uncertainty and surprise. Predominantly dominated by the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic and all the changes that has brought to our lives, but there was also the lead up to, and result of the American presidential election, politicians in the UK resigning, and much loved personalities dying. Every month seemed to bring about another earth shaking event in the world. Over 2000 years ago there was another earth shaking event, although very few people recognised it at the time. In fact, it was the best news the world has ever had. The Son of God coming to live among us, born to a young couple in a small town that no one thought important enough to have something important happen in it. Yet there an event occurred that changed life fundamentally. An event that was truly earth shaking as it played out over the next 30 years culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate that fact. As we prepare for this event through the season of Advent, let us make a conscious effort to rejoice as did the shepherds on that first Christmas and share the good news with everyone we have contact with – albeit in a socially distanced way. The good news that God loves us and wants us to know him, is just as real today and transcends anything that is going on in the world.
