  • Contemporary Folk Dance Fusion Using Folk Dance in Secondary Schools
    Unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage Explore | Discover | Take Part Contemporary Folk Dance Fusion Using folk dance in secondary schools By Kerry Fletcher, Katie Howson and Paul Scourfield Unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage Explore | Discover | Take Part The Full English The Full English was a unique nationwide project unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage by making over 58,000 original source documents from 12 major folk collectors available to the world via a ground-breaking nationwide digital archive and learning project. The project was led by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and in partnership with other cultural partners across England. The Full English digital archive (www.vwml.org) continues to provide access to thousands of records detailing traditional folk songs, music, dances, customs and traditions that were collected from across the country. Some of these are known widely, others have lain dormant in notebooks and files within archives for decades. The Full English learning programme worked across the country in 19 different schools including primary, secondary and special educational needs settings. It also worked with a range of cultural partners across England, organising community, family and adult learning events. Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund, the National Folk Music Fund and The Folklore Society.

  • Schottische Musik
    Masterprüfung Musik SCHOTTISCHE MUSIK Gestern und heute Reichmuth Fabienne Stoll Pierina SR 12 H16 Sach- und Begründungsanalyse Schottische Musik gestern und heute Abstract Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit schottischer Musik von früher und der Gegenwart als auch deren schulprak- tische Umsetzung auf der Sekundarstufe 1. In der Sach- und Begründungsanalyse werden Hintergrundinformatio- nen über typische schottische Instrumente und die Geschichte des Dudelsacks und der Scottish Folk Musik ge- sammelt. Es werden auch Merkmale der Scottish Folk Musik aufgeführt und thematisiert, inwiefern man diese musikalischen Merkmale in der heutigen schottischen Musik noch finden kann. Zudem wird der Cèilidh, eine typisch schottische Tanzveranstaltung, und die dazugehörige Tanzmusik kurz erläutert. Danach folgt die Begründungs- analyse, in welcher beschrieben wird, inwiefern die Thematik für die Lernenden von Bedeutung ist und welche Punkte des Lehrplans durch die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Schottische Musik früher und heute abge- deckt werden können. Es folgen allgemeine Hinweise zur Umsetzung des Themas im Unterricht. Im Ideenpool werden weitere mögliche Anknüpfungspunkte zu den fünf Bereichen des Lehrplans 21 gesammelt. Im Hinblick auf die schulpraktische Umsetzung wurden exemplarische drei schottische Songs – The Ballad of John MacLean, This is the Life, und I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) – gewählt. Zu den ersten beiden Songs wurde ein Lead- sheet, für den letzten ein Arrangement inklusive Spielhilfen für die Umsetzung im Klassenzimmer erstellt. Des Weiteren beinhaltet diese Arbeit eine Bewegungsanleitung für einen traditionellen Cèilidh zum Stück Virginia Reel. Zudem haben wir vier Arbeitsmaterialien zu den Themen Dudelsack, Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Cèilidhs und Schot- tische Instrumente erstellt. Zwei dieser Materialien und die Bewegungsanleitung lassen sich für den fächerüber- greifenden Unterricht in Kombination mit Englisch verwenden, was sich angesichts der Thematik offensichtlich anbietet.

  • Accordion (Music Playing) Narrator: Along with the Argentinean Tango
    Accordion (Music playing) Narrator: Along with the Argentinean tango, French musettes, and German polkas, the accordion is one of the defining sounds of Central Texas conjunto bands, as well as Southeast Texas Cajun and zydeco music, country, and western swing. (Music playing) N: With its roots dating back to China thousands of years ago, the popularity of this instrument took off in the early nineteenth century in Europe. N: By the mid 1800s, immigrants had brought the accordion to Texas, where it became emblematic in the way different ethnic groups have shared their musical heritage and influences. (Music playing) N: Patented in 1829 by an Austrian named Cyrill Demian, the accordion spread quickly throughout Europe. N: From Ireland to Russia, versatility and sheer volume of this instrument attracted folk musicians who adapted it to their own style of music. N: However, it was the Germans, Czechs, and French who forever changed Texas music with their use of the accordion. (Music playing) N: German immigrants began moving to Central Texas in large numbers in the 1840s, settling in what became known as the “German Belt,”areas including New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, and Luckenbach. N: German folk songs, with the polka, waltz, and schottische dance steps, were a fundamental part of these immigrant communities, and the accordion was essential to their music. (Music playing) N: By the turn-of-the-century, German Texans and Tejanos were increasingly exchanging musical influences. N: Santiago Jiménez began playing the accordion in 1921 at the age of eight. N: His father, Patricio, had been a successful accordion player in Eagle Pass, Texas, and he encouraged his son to play.

  • The Development of an Archive of Explicit Stylistic
    CONCLUSIONS I trust I am offering to my countrymen an acceptable present: the gift has novelty, at least, to recommend it. Though Ireland has been long famed for its poetry and music, these subjects have never yet been treated of historically. I do not pretend to have done completely, what has lain so long undone: no doubt, many sources of information still remain unopened, and many documents unconsulted. However, I have marked out a path, which may facilitate the pursuit of those who shall hereafter follow me.1 It may be ironic to conclude this latest study of Irish traditional music with the words that Joseph Cooper Walker used to open what is regarded as the first book on the subject, yet the sentiment is shared. In many ways, the best of what both studies have achieved is to draw attention to the vastness of that which still remains unknown. Similarly to Walker, the focus of this study is not on comprehensiveness but on the investigation of a pathway that may be useful beyond the scope of this thesis. The fundamental objective of this research was to develop and refine a process through which an archive of explicit stylistic data could be constructed and then to determine what practical outcomes would emerge from working with explicit stylistic data in this way. One of the more interesting results of the project was that from conversations with other musicians and academics I found that the basic idea of codifying and using stylistic knowledge was not new. Kristiina Ilmonen, the former director of the Folk Music Department at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, told me that she uses the term ‘treasure box’, to describe the mental space where her musical knowledge is stored and from which she can select elements of it for use in performance.

  • The Thistle 053 October 1972
    Issued by the Thistle Club President: Dr. Norman MacKenzie, C.M.G., M.M. 8 Bar, Q.C., LL.D. No. 53 October 1972 OUR DANCES NO. 7”: The highland schottische Couple—dances are sometimes looked down on by your true-blue country—dancer (though, oddly enough, not by highland dancers). And sometimes, indeed, they are of little traditional interest or choreographic worth. The highland schottische is, however, an exception. It is in quite a different category from, say, the Gay Gordons, being considerably older, and having a definite Scottish character——¢he Gay Gordons is a 20th-century novelty dance, and the steps in it could occur in a dance originating any— where from Russia to the U.S.A. (the "picture-frame" hand— hold used being particularly popular in German folk-dances of the Rheinlander type, in American versions of the Var— souvienne, and in some styles of Hopak kolom in the Ukraine). The highland schottische has a very definite place in the Scottish traditional repertoire. Some ten or fifteen years ago it was quite common to find in Canada elderly people who had emigrated from the West Highlands and whose repertoire consisted of precisely two dances: the foursome reel and the highland schottische. These they would cheerfully dance several times each in the course of a ceilidh. Sometime after the polka had become popular in Western Europe, a slower version of the dance arose, known under vari— ous names, but most often as the "schottisch". This word is the German for "Scottish"; the dance may or may not have originated in Germany; it did not originate in Scotland.
