On behalf of our Honorary Chairs, our company of outstanding performers, and the members and friends of the Clan Currie WelcomeSociety, we wish you a warm Highland welcome and thank you for joining us. We especially welcome back our many loyal audience members who have come to celebrate with us over the years, many for over a decade now! In the midst of the holiday bustle, “The Pipes of Christmas” affords a rare opportunity to honor the sacred and celebrate the season in a reverent, joyful style that found its genesis among our Celtic ancestors. With music and poetry that reflects our cherished traditions, this year’s program includes perennial favorites as well and poignant new selections. We wish to extend hearty thanks to our generous sponsors, especially Edinburgh Napier University and the Grand Summit Hotel. An extra special note of thanks is in order to the editorial team at Celtic Life magazine for their generous assistance in producing this year’s handsome program book. We are grateful for all our patrons, program advertisers and concert friends. These “angels” allow us to present our celebration in glorious settings, and to fund scholarships and educational programs that foster the study of Celtic music and culture at universities and colleges in the United States, Canada and Scotland. Thank you for choosing to support “The Pipes of Christmas” with your presence here today. From all of us to all of you, we wish you a blessed holiday season. Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ur! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mark Giangiulio MarkAs one of the Honorary Chairs for 2014, I would like to welcome you all to this year’s Pipes of Christmas concerts. It has been our pleasure here at the Grand Summit Hotel to participate in the sponsorship of this long lasting holiday tradition, here in Summit and in Manhattan. In fact, the Grand Summit has been supporting this concert now for 15 years! Proceeds from these concerts support the Clan Currie Society’s scholarships and special events. To date, thousands of dollars have been provided to deserving students to help them continue their studies in the US, Scotland and Canada. Funds have also been used to support a growing number of national and international cultural heritage events including, the Royal National Mod, the US National Scottish Harp Championship and Tartan Day on Ellis Island. And to think this incredible legacy began right here in Summit, NJ. On behalf of all of us at the Grand Summit Hotel and the Hat Tavern, I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Come see us in 2015! Mark Giangiulio General Manager, The Grand Summit Hotel AndreaAndrea M. Nolan I am delighted to be an Honorary Chair of the 2014 Pipes of Christmas concerts and extend a very warm welcome to each of you at both the New York and Summit, New Jersey concerts. Edinburgh Napier University and the Clan Currie Society have a long standing relationship underpinned by the value both organisations place on supporting and nurturing emerging talent in the arts. At Edinburgh Napier, the School of Arts and Creative Industries is home to one of the premier centres for creative arts education in Scotland. Our reputation in these fields spans over three decades with a philosophy of providing a rigorous professional training, set within creative practice and informed by critical theory and research. Concerts such as The Pipes of Christmas allow the Clan Currie Society to continue to fund the next generation of students through their scholarship programme in the disciplines of bagpiping, clàrsach, music, and poetry. Ongoing support such as this, not only showcases Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, but also continues to strengthen the bond of friendship between the United States and Scotland. 2014 saw Edinburgh Napier celebrate its 50th Anniversary, and like the Clan Currie Society - we too represent an international community, with 85,000 alumni in over 100 countries. As our 50th year draws to a close, we are delighted to be in New York to celebrate another anniversary - that of the 16th glorious year of the Pipes of Christmas concerts. Best wishes to all for a happy and prosperous New Year. Professor Andrea M Nolan, OBE Principal & Vice-Chancellor, Edinburgh Napier University RodneyRodney J. MacDonald It gives me great pleasure to be an Honourary Chair of The Pipes of Christmas for 2014. I wish to thank and recognize Robert Currie and the Clan Currie Society for this honour and for all they are doing in the promotion of our shared Scottish roots. Their outstanding work and efforts in the sharing of our musical heritage and their continued support for students in the USA, Scotland, and Canada, including the Alex Currie Memorial Piping Scholarship as administered by Colaisde na Gàidhlig | The Gaelic College, is to be commended. They are truly making a difference for the youth of today. I am especially pleased to note the tribute planned for my friend, the late, great, Buddy MacMaster. Buddy had a significant influence on many musicians across all borders, including myself. The respect for the music he played reflected his great admiration of his Gaelic roots, family genealogy, and spiritual upbringing. He truly was a “musician’s musician” with a powerful, yet smooth style, striving for perfection with every note. He was a master of the Cape Breton violin and a dear friend to all those who knew him. To everyone involved; organizers, performers, listeners — I wish you well. Enjoy the music, the opportunity to gather as friends, and the celebration of our Scottish roots which connect us all. Nollaig mhath agus bliadhna mhath ùr dhuibh uileadh! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Honorable Rodney J. MacDonald, E.C.N.S. CEO, Colaisde na Gàidhlig | The Gaelic College Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Reflections ReflectionsEvent founder Robert Currie reflects on The Pipes of Christmas past and present I’m truly looking forward to our 16th annual concert. In addition to the tribute to Buddy MacMaster, we’ll be observing the hundredth anniversary of the famous “Christmas Truce of 1914” where Scottish, French and German soldiers left their trenches and joined together across “No Man’s Land” to observe Christmas. Perhaps we can all learn something from this often overlooked Christmas “miracle” of the First World War. We are also thrilled to debut a new pipe march we commissioned with one of the greats in the US piping world, Duncan Bell. “The Garden State March” has been written to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the founding of the State of New Jersey. We’re making efforts to have it adopted as the official pipe march of the State! Christmas is a time of giving and in that spirit, we are fortunate to be able to use concert proceeds to bestow a number of annual music and history scholarships at many leading institutions including the Gaelic College in Nova Scotia, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the National Piping Centre, both in Glasgow, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye and Lyon College in Arkansas. We’ll also be announcing a new music scholarship at the concert this year! In addition to scholarships, concert proceeds help support a growing number of special events and programs such as the Struileag Gaelic poetry initiative, the Royal National Mod and the US National Scottish Harp Championship.

  • Penzance Guizing and Montol Festival
    Merv Davey : Penzance Guizing and Montol Festival Penzance Guizing and Montol Festival These are notes based on research undertaken for a thesis on Cornish Folk tradi- tions. Information s drawn from participant observation and conversation with organis- ers 21st December 2008 and 2010. This is an evolving event, for more information visit www.cornishculture.co.uk Summary The Lord of Misrule is chosen by casting lots (in the form of beans) at the steps of St Johns at 5.45 pm approximately. Dress is vaguely mock posh with as much black as possible and Ve- netian style masks, many of which were made at an earlier workshop. The Lord of Misrule then leads the pro- cession leads from St Johns Hall to Lescud- jack Hill Fort at 6pm. A beacon is lit fol- lowed by a dance lead by the Turkey Rhubarb Guizers. The guizing parties return to the area around Chapel Street, some performances take place in the pubs and some outside. At about 10pm Pen Glas is brought out on to Chapel street and processes down to the Harbour side ac- companied by Bagas Torchen the torch bearers to complete the event with a circular “candle” dance. Merv Davey Appendix 4.6 : Penzance Guizing and Montol Festival Conversation with Simon Reed one of the event organisers 21st Dec 2010 Montol is the Cornish word for the Midwinter Solstice. According to Edward Lhuyd in his1700 also translates Montol as "balance". To the organisers of the festival both interpretations are important: firstly the Montol festival is a balance to the ever popular Golowan festival, secondly it is also the celebration of the Cornish Mid- winter and revival of its ancient cus- toms.

    Music in Concert with the Landscape There are music festivals and there are music festivals. Then there is the Moab Music Festival – a mélange of musical programming set in one of the most splendid landscapes on earth. Old and new music – chamber music, vocal music, jazz, traditional music – performed by outstanding musicians in a setting of form, color, and light that creates an unmatched artistic experience… Music in Concert with the Landscape. The Festival Founded in 1992 by Michael Barrett and Leslie Tomkins, prominent musicians based in New York, the Festival gathers world-class instrumentalists and vocalists annually to celebrate vibrant music in an awe-inspiring landscape. An ever- expanding audience comes from all parts of the United States and from Europe to enjoy this unique combination of sight and sound. Composers range from Bach to Bernstein, from Ravel to Rorem, from Dvorák to Danielpour. One performance may feature a vocalist celebrating a French chanteuse; the next a chamber ensemble performing Brahms; then a jazz ensemble playing with a Latin flair; then an exploration of contemporary music by the season’s Composer-in-Residence, who will be present to discuss his or her work. For patrons, the three weekend fall festival – which in 2003 won ASCAP’s coveted award for “Adventurous Programming” in the music festival category – is a potpourri of musical offerings performed by dynamic, highly accomplished musicians. In June, the Festival offers a four day “Musical Adventure” benefit raft trip with performances held at scenic sites along the Colorado River. Many concerts take advantage of the remarkable environment and are set outdoors in unique settings – under a pavilion along the Colorado River, in a tent under towering rock monoliths, in a park sheltered by the shade of an ancient cottonwood.
