It is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to promote new music, especially staged dramatic cantatas, in large churches and cathedrals, schools, colleges and other appropriate spaces. Da Pacem Arvo Pärt (b.1935) In his earliest works the Estonian composer Arvo Pӓrt experimented liberally with serialism and collage techniques, but by the mid-1960s he began to look back to previous eras to find fresh modes of expression. He turned first to Bach with such works as Collage sur B-A-C-H (1964). Then, after several years of virtual silence during which he studied Gregorian chant, renaissance masters such as Victoria and Palestrina and the music of the Russian Orthodox Church, a new style emerged, as if from a chrysalis, for which Part coined the term ‘tintinnabulation’. The essence of this style is that it is centred on simple melodic chant, moving principally in stepwise motion, around which surrounding parts provide harmonic resonance.

  • Chapter 10 Liverpool to Louisiana in One Lyrical Line: Style Choice in British Rock, Pop and Folk Singing
    Chapter 10 Liverpool to Louisiana in one lyrical line: Style choice in British rock, pop and folk singing “Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?” (The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) Franz Andres Morrissey 1. Introduction When Pink Floyd’s original guitarist/songwriter Syd Barrett died in July 2006, the BBC News website featured a quote by British singer David Bowie, “He was the first guy I’d heard to sing pop or rock with a British accent – his impact on my thinking was enormous”. Indeed, as we shall see, the two 1967 singles “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne”, which represented the Pink Floyd’s entry into the musical mainstream, show un- mistakably just how British Barrett’s vocals sound. Bowie’s admiration for Barrett’s adoption of “a British accent” and the fact that this should be noteworthy can be explained in terms of a phe- nomenon that is typical for British popular music. 1 At the time relatively few singers of note used a British singing style consistently, the best known – and exceptional – exponents being former actor Anthony Newly, who focussed mainly on chanson- or music-hall-oriented material, and Jake Thackray, the “founding father of English chanson” (Clayson 2002). By contrast, ever since the Jazz era, but particularly from the 1950s onwards, British singers have modelled their singing style on what they perceived to be an American pronunciation, a tendency that continues to the present time. This is true for Jazz singers, Skiffle groups, Rock’n’Roll, R’n’B or Hard Rock bands as well as doowop pop and soul vocalists to the extent that this style represents a standard style, a norm that seems to permeate even the material of musicians who as of the mid-Sixties have begun to adopt singing styles other than American ones.

  • And a Letter to My Customers ===
    --- == ROOTS & RHYTHM - SALE 01/12/2014 - AND A LETTER TO MY CUSTOMERS === --- Dear Friends Happy New Year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. NOTE: Regrettably our holiday season was the slowest we've ever seen and it may mean that we will not be able to continue operating our business for very much longer. I am no longer a young man (not by a long shot!) and don't have the energy to pursue ways in which we may be able to promote the business. I would love to be able to settle down and listen to all the music I have gathered over the years in a relaxed setting and with critical reviewing faculties turned off. I would love to see Roots & Rhythm continue and thrive and even if we make it through the current crisis I would still like to get away from the stress of running a business so I am open to having someone else take over and move the company forward. If you are such a person or know such a person please contact me and we can discuss it. This list consists of a sale which we hope will raise enough money to help us get caught up with our suppliers and our taxes as well as some other pressing expenses. This list features 600 titles in all covering all the genres of music we specialize in and featuring books, DVDs and compact discs. This list includes manufacturer?s overstocks and deletions, our own excess inventory and a lot of titles that have been sitting on our shelves that have never been listed before.

  • Middleton Is Firmly Rooted Between Rochdale, Oldham and Manchester
    Middleton is firmly rooted between Rochdale, Oldham and Manchester. Middletown. Originally a typical Lancashire cotton town, the horizon dotted with tall mill chimneys. The 1950s & 60s brought a huge influx of people from the Manchester slum clearances on to the newly built Langley estate and this had a big bearing on the number of young people now living in Middleton. These young people in the 50s/60s had money to spend on fashion and music and it was against this background that the beat boom, already happening in Liverpool and Manchester, began taking shape in Middleton. Groups of young lads and some lasses headed down to Manchester’s music shops for guitars & drums and the occasional saxophone to form beat combos. Youth clubs and coffee bars became the places where these groups had their first taste of fame before moving on to the clubs of Manchester surrounding towns and the many dance halls of that period. For such a small town it was amazing that four local groups became so successful that they could become full time musicians and were given recording contracts by major London record companies:- The Country Gentlemen, signed to DECCA; TD Backus & The Powerhouse also on DECCA; The Measles on COLUMBIA and Ivans Meads on PARLOPHONE. Middleton’s musical heritage continued through the 70s and then in the 80s post punk band The Chameleons hit the headlines. The 80s brought The Mock Turtles, at the forefront of the Madchester Indie movement. Other notables in the music and entertainment sphere to emanate out of Middleton are Steve Coogan, John Richmond, Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets, Maartin Allcock of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull, Brendan and Martin Coogan.
