Lev Krev Kernow Lyther-Nowodhow Lev Krev Kernow Vocal Force Cor nwall: ‘A strong voice for Cornwall’ Lyther-nowodhow-Newsletter Dynergh - Welcome! 22nd March 2010 Issue 14 Where we keep you updated on the news, latest sessions and future dates The ‘Fab 4’ & The Perraners at St Agnes Perraners & St Agnes school Tom Bawcock & his cat! THIS IS OUR LAST NEW SLETTER FOR THE FIRS T YEAR AND A PACKED ONE TOO! ‘Lev Krev Kernow’ is Cornish for ‘Vocal Force Cornwall’ - a project managed by Cumpas (Cornish Music Projects) as part of a nationwide ‘Sing-Up’ programme. The aims of the project include developing a network of vocal leaders for primary aged children, providing both training and support to enable the network to share their skills and repetoire in both leading singing and working with primary aged children. There is a strong emphasis on using Cornish repetoire including the use of the language. Focus Day Saturday March 20th This was led by Helen Porter, a singing leader and voice coach from Dorset who is both a teacher and a performer. The well attended day began with a technical voice session. Warm -ups included attention to posture in order to avoid fa tigue, breathing and a pilates excercise for the abdominal muscles. Physical exercises then focused on the mouth, lips and tongue such as moving the tongue around the teeth in order to relieve tension. We rolled rrrs to keep the jaw loose and we laughed loudly and silently to retract and widen the larynx. Throughout the session, Helen explained the reasons for the exercises and the beneficial effects upon the quality of singing. Slowly but surely, everything seemed to make sense as she descibed the physiol ogy of the throat and mouth. Our first warmup was "Maria mia bella amore" a lovely simple round which facilitated breath control to make the notes flow, again focusing also on the abdominal muscles. Helen explained how the muscles at the side of the jaw co ntrol the range of sound and that simple exercises such as the siren and silent laughing will strengthen muscles. To avoid voice strain, Helen recommended drinking water about four hours before singing or having a steam inhalation which works immediatly. N egotiatiating breaks in the voice was discussed and the effect of the control of the folds of the larynx upon the quality of sound. We sang another round called "Umwegitane" and were encouraged to add our own harmonies. A superb shared lunch was followed b y a session where Helen used individuals as ‘guinea-pigs’ working on issues such as breath crontrol and finding one's own range. Pitch and intonation were discussed and practised. The session was informative fun and inspirational and we departed with an increased knowledge of how our voices work and therefore how we can improve our singing. Twilight Session, St Winnow Thursday 11th March Averil at Blackwater school Yet again quality if not quantity. Kath took us through has been working with key stage two over 3 sessions. some of her warm-ups, including the Chicken song & ‘I started off with about 10 childen and now have about 20.

School, in the Clay dis trict, to deliver a dose of the joy of singing Cornish songs! Treverbyn is a hamlet tucked into a green oasis just below Bugle, and the new school is light and bright. We arrived at 1pm, and gave a 20 minute concert of traditional Cornish songs -- in Engl ish; dialect, and the Cornish language, and mostly in our usual 3-part harmony. The whole school (182 children, plus teachers) listened, clapped in time, and joined in the singing (in Sweet Nightingale). Then we taught the song 'Tregajorran Whartha' to 2 separate groups - Key stage One and Key Stage Two, for 1/2 hour each. They learned quickly, and sang with energy; focus, and enthusiasm! The staff were also pleased, and asked us to return another time, with more songs! Ke scana at St Winnow School rd On Monday afternoon March 23 six members of locally-based singing group Kescana (Cornish for Singing Together) visited St Winnow CP School in Lostwithiel at the invitation of teacher and Lev Krev member Gary Marshall Stevens. The group, which included both a mother and a grandmother of pupils at the school, presented a selection of Cornish songs to the children from years 3 to 6, including traditional ones like Cadgwith Anthem (which the children enjoyed as it is about highwaymen!), How Pleasant and Delightful and Sweet Nightingale . The group also heard about Helston May Day traditions in the Hal an Tow song and enjoyed the Bridges Song , specially requested by their teacher, which mentions all the bridges across the Tamar. There was enthusiastic audience participation in the rousing sing-along chorus. The song Tregajorran Wartha was introduced and then taught to the group in 2 batches. Class 3 (years 5 and 6) acted out the story of the song, which tells of a girl with two suitors, and sang heartily, particularly when they joined years 3 and 4 of Class 2 to sing for their parents and teachers at the end of the afternoon. The children already sing the St Piran round “Penbloth Lowen” and are now planning to add Tregajorran Wartha and the Bridges Song to their repert oire. Comment from a Class 2 pupil: “Wicked!” th ‘Sing Up’ Male Singing Leaders Conference Wednesday, February 24 at St. Mary’s Methodist Church, Truro. ‘Inspiring Boys to Sing!’ notes from workshop led by Caroline Gale (Director of Music at Guildford County School). When doing warm ups with boys it was important to ‘get physical,’ make up words with plenty of repetition in, use tongue twisters, humming in combination with silly words, become a human drum kit and use anything ’boy related’ to get composing! She impressed on us that human skills are as important as musical skills. Always have an occasion to perform at in mind.Caroline made it clear that there should be a ‘team feel,’ with a sense of community and friends to develop confidence and opportunity. As leaders, it is important for us to be a positive role model –enthusiasm is infectious! The challenges we set should be small and achievable, creating responsibilities for the choir and common goals (team work.)Some of her suggestions included: Be positive and confident. ~ Get to know the boys as people. ~ Careful choice of repertoire- keep it relevant, respecting musical tastes.~ Keep expectations and standards high. ~ Avoid rehearsals that clash with sport. ~ Ensure that you have clear boundaries of self discipline both musical and in behaviour.~ Do not be afraid to show emotions. ~ Avoid placing yourself in a position where you fail. The second session was a presentation by Professor Martin Ashley where he examined the impact of male teachers in the classroom with two films from the ‘Boys Keep Singing’ project and his most recent book ‘How High Should Boys Sing?’ He emphasised that boys want teachers with good subject knowledge, firm but fair and enthusiastic teachers, showing respect for colleagues. It is important to have a good sense of humour. After lunch, Cleveland Watkiss, a famous jazz musician performed with his band and led workshops with some primary and comprehensive pupils. He did various warm ups, followed by ‘scat singing.’ The pupils were then taught how to sing ’My favourite Things’ from ‘The Sound of Music’ which was accompanied by his jazz band. Following this, the children, in groups, composed their own lyrics and then performed their own renderings of the song. To complete the day there was a panel discussion with Martin Ashley, Cleveland Watkiss, Miles Wallis-Clarke, Martin Baker, Garry Jones and chaired by Peter Davies. Report by Kath Matthews.

    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a.

Jako autorka uvedené bakalářské práce dále prohlašuji, že jsem v souvislosti s jejím vytvořením neporušila autorská práva třetích osob. V Praze dne 13.3.2014 ___________________________ Poděkování Ráda bych touto cestou poděkovala doc. Ing. PhDr. Petru Kokaislovi, Ph.D, za poskytnuté rady, dále Garrymu Tregidgadovi a dalším informátorům, kteří nám při výzkumu ochotně pomáhali a také Petru Mikšíčkovi, za jeho cenné rady při střihu dokumentu. Vliv nacionalismu na znovuobnovení kulturního povědomí v Cornwallu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The influence of nationalism on cultural revival in Cornwall Souhrn Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá situací menšiny na území hrabství Cornwall, kde probíhá revitalizace původní keltské kultury. Cornwall, nejjižnější cíp Velké Británie, je jednou ze šesti oficiálně uznaných keltských oblastí spolu se Skotskem, Irskem, ostrovem Mann, Walesem a Bretaní. Tato menšina se v posledních čtyřiceti letech rozrůstá a dostává se do povědomí široké veřejnosti a to především díky vzrůstajícímu počtu mluvčích znovuobnoveného keltského jazyka, kornštině. Stejně jako u dalších minorit, tak i v Cornwallu existuje místní nacionalismus, který je hnací silou změn. Cornwallská identita, ke které se k roku 2011 hlásí necelých 14% obyvatel, je definována nejen jazykem, ale i dalšími kulturními aspekty. Protože tato kulturní revitalizace probíhá až od druhé poloviny minulého století, klade si práce za úkol zjistit a popsat klíčové události, které daly hnutí do pohybu.

  • Revival and Creation of Cornish Folk Music and Folk Dance Contrary To
    In Search of Cornish Identity: Revival and Creation of Cornish Folk Music and Folk Dance Contrary to the well-known folk music and folk dance scenes of major Celtic nations like Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany, the folklore of Cornwall, a region located in the far southwest of Great Britain, has to date not received much international academic attention. Even in the major scientific works on Celtic music (Sawyers 2000; Stokes and Bohlman 2003), Cornwall is usually not mentioned at all, even though it was recognized as one of the six Celtic nations as early as 1904 (Jenner 1905). Until now, only one PhD thesis (Davey 2011), an MA thesis (Toms 2010) and a BA thesis (Trethewey 2011) have been written on Cornish folk music, while Cornish folk dance has only been investigated in a single chapter of Davey’s thesis. This lack of scientific interest in the region’s traditions seems somewhat surprising, however, given that there is indeed a rather lively folk music and folk dance scene observable in Cornwall at present. This movement has its roots in the late 1970s, when local musicians initiated the Cornish Music and Dance Revival – not least because they wanted to give emphasis to their Celtic heritage and celebrate their otherness to English people. It is also a result of the Cornish Language Revival, which was initiated around 1900 by Henry Jenner and Robert Morton Nance, with the aim of reviving the Celto-Cornish langauge that had been extinct by 1800. The Cornish Language Revival heavily influenced the Cornish Music Revival, not only ideologically but also linguistically.

  • Heritage Statement
    Heritage Statement Site Name: Tregray House Address of Site: Tregray House, Tregajorran, Redruth, TR15 3YU Grid Reference: SW 67337 40775 Introduction This Heritage Statement forms part of the application prepared by the homeowners in respect of the proposal to enable the placement of four (4) Shepherds Huts on amenity land associated with the property Tregray House, Chapel Hill, Tregajorran as an independent holiday let. This statement addresses how the proposal will meet the requirements of Paragraph 189 of the NPPF. Paragraph 189 of the NPPF states: ‘ In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes, or has the potential to include, heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation.’ Identifying the Heritage Asset The Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2006. The site lies within 'Area 5: Camborne and Redruth Mining District' described within the 2013-2018 Management Plan as 'the most heavily industrialised tin and copper mining district in the Site, and also contains its most significant urban centres of mining population.
