    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.

  • Factfile: Gcse Music
    FACTFILE: GCSE MUSIC Musical Traditions in Ireland The Musical Traditions in Ireland module covers a range of instrumental and vocal folk music that can be heard both locally and globally. It is hard to separate Irish traditional from Ulster Scots music as they have the same origins and share a wide range of repertoire. Some instruments, such as the fife and bagpipes, are more commonly played in Ulster Scots music rather than in Irish Traditional music. TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS STRING INSTRUMENTS Fiddle Are the fiddle and the violin the same instrument? Yes, but it is the style of music that tells us which label to use. If the musician is playing folk, they will call the instrument a fiddle, e.g. American Bluegrass fiddling. If they are playing Classical music, the musician will call it a violin. Banjo The banjo is a four string instrument. It has a fretted neck similar to a guitar and is played using a pick. The banjo is naturally a loud instrument. It has a distinctive sound and melodies are ornamented with snappy triplets. Harp The harp can play both melody and chords. It often plays a syncopated accompaniment pattern. Fiddle players: Zoe Conway, Frankie Gavin, Tommy Peoples, Brid Harper, Aly Bain, Tara Breen, Donal O’Connor, Emma Smith, Diane McCullough, Keith Lyttle Banjo players: Cathal Hayden, Enda Scahill, Gerry O’Connor, Barney McKenna, Sammy Lynch Harp players: Derek Bell, Laoise Kelly, Kavan Donohoe, Sandra Kirk, Allie Robertson WOODWIND INSTRUMENTS Flute The traditional wooden keyless flute commonly made from African boxwood or rosewood. These woods give the instrument it’s distinctive black colour.
