    The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications

    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

It has been a whirlwind and a great success. The Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee pulled it off well, if I do say so myself. Thanks to all the great presenters and Cornish Cous- ins who really made it a family reunion. It was a pleasure meeting many names I had only read before. I am so happy that Kathryn Herman has agreed to take over as president. After two years of working with her on the plan- ning committee, I know she is a woman of great organization and imagination. Her knowledge of Cornwall and connec- tions there will give the CAHS a direction I couldn't give. I will be happy to continue serving as an officer (historian), so I can work on projects for the Society. As I hand over the role of president to Kathryn, I will be finishing up some things started at the Gathering. (And Kathryn deserves to catch her breath!) Our business meeting was cut short. Ultimately that may be an advantage, since some questions might be better addressed via e-mails with the participants, rather than a hurried discussion we would have had there. If any of the CAHS members not present at the Gathering would like to be included in the discussion, please write me. Again, thanks to all for the great Gathering! It is now a matter of continuing the energy we had in Milwaukee.

One aspect of this process was the increasing abundance of flowers in churches in defiance of opinions which regarded such practices as incompatible with Protestantism. Such opposition also drew strength from cultural associations between flowers and dangerously alluring femininity and sexuality. It was popularly feared that priests were using flowers to lure women into their clutches. The medievalising work of Pugin and the members of the Ecclesiological Society played a major role in the moral legitimisation of both flowers and floral motifs in the decoration of churches.

An arrangement with Beatrice Kerno-Plummer gave us access to one of her flats overlooking the harbour. Construction of the harbour began in 1811 with demand for coal to supply mines. In 1824 it was completely washed away. In 1855 Harvey and Co from Hayle leased and improved the harbour. Two cannons either side of the harbour were fired at Napoleon’s navy during the battle of Brest. It was Harvest Thanksgiving at Sithney and being the guests of Beatrice we were short on details. It was not surprising that after a look at the harbour that we ended up at Sithney, a little country village not far away to have afternoon tea at the home of Isobel Martin and her son Tom. (Relatives of Rev Robyn Pryor who was a colleague in our Blackburn Parish (Victoria) whom we had visited 12 months before.) Our company included three true blue Cornish ladies and five Cornish Bards, Neil Plummer, Beatrice, Vivian Pryor, Bill and Gwen Phillips from Victoria, Australia. At 5.55pm with the church bell tolling we stepped across the road onto the path of the Churchyard. The Cornish flag enjoyed a stiff breeze on the top on the Bell tower. I noted one slate headstone dated 1789 and it seemed that no one had cut the grass since the 18 Century!!! I was ready to experience a sung Harvest Thanksgiving Evensong. When visiting Cornish Bards and members of the Old Cornish Society were welcomed I realised that we were associating with esteemed company indeed!! Six parallel granite arches stretched the length of the old church with small chapels and altars either side.

    Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913

    Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913 Submitted by Joan Passey to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in September 2019 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Joan Passey Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Words: 91,425 1 Abstract While there are defined Irish, Welsh, and Scottish Gothic traditions, there has been a notable critical absence of a Cornish Gothic tradition, despite multiple canonical and less-canonical authors penning Gothic stories set in Cornwall throughout the long nineteenth century. This critical oversight is part of a longer tradition of eliding Cornwall from literary and cultural histories—even from those to which it has particular relevance, such as histories of the industrial revolution (in which its mining industry was a major contributor), and the birth of the tourist industry, which has shaped the county and its economy through to the present day. This thesis will rectify this gap in criticism to propose a Cornish Gothic tradition. It will investigate Gothic texts set in Cornwall in the long nineteenth century to establish a distinct and particular tradition entrenched in Cornwall’s own quest for particularity from other Celtic nations and English regions. It will demonstrate how the boom in Cornish Gothic texts was spurred by major changes occurring in the county in the period, including being the last county to be connected to the national rail network, the death of the mining industry, the birth of the tourist industry, large-scale maritime disaster on its coasts, and the resituating of the legendary King Arthur in Tintagel with the publication of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King.

    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 4 Winter 2014 CORNWALL – MEXICO LINKS In October representatives of the Redruth—Real del Monte Twinning Association visited in Mexico for twelve days at the time of the 6th International Paste Festival. Many interesting events took place during their time there, and fascinating connections were made. Particularly significant connections were created between schools in the Redruth area and the schools in Real del Monte. Association secretary and Redruth Town councilor Deborah Reeve indicated that creating links of this kind was one of the aims of Twinning Association when it was formed at the beginning of this year. Prior to the visit to Mexico a connection had already been made between Treleigh Primary school and an equiva- lent school in Real del Monte. The delegation also carried with them letters of introduction from Illogan and St. Day & Carharrack primary schools and Cornwall College. Mrs. Reeve visited several schools while in Mexico and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the local school children who immediately came forward with ideas, letters and e-mails to make the most of the links. Before returning home she was given a tour of the facilities of Magattzi School by head teacher David Ortiz Licona. Upon return to Redruth members of the Twinning Association met with Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin and six children from the year 7 Spanish class. Letters from students at Magattzi were delivered and a commitment was made to begin this exciting connection. Ian Thomas (vice chair), Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin, Deborah Reeve (secretary Redruth-Real del Monte Twinning Association), Manny Hernandez (chairman of the Twinning Asso- ciation) and year seven Spanish pupils celebrate the new link.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT REVEREND WILLIAM EDGELL Diaries, 1897-1901 Reel M721 Mrs R. Rowland Turnditch Derbyshire National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE William Henry Edgell (1873-1960), was born near Dover, England. His father was a solicitor and his maternal grandfather was Henry Jenner, the first Anglican bishop of Dunedin. He attended St Augustine’s College, Canterbury, in 1893-96 and in April 1896 joined the Melanesian Mission, which was based at Norfolk Island. He was ordained a priest in 1899. From 1897 to 1905 Edgell and Thomas Ulgau were missionaries at Raga on Pentecost in the northern New Hebrides. He translated a number of works into the Raga language, including the New Testament, the Psalms, hymns and the Catechism. In October 1901 his house, church and schoolhouse at Raga were burnt down by the crew of a French labour recruiting vessel. In 1904 Edgell had a breakdown of health, was given leave and went back to England. He returned to the Pacific in 1905, but did not re-join the Melanesian Mission. From 1905 to 1914 he was a missionary priest in the Diocese of Auckland. In 1910 he married Dorothy Mellsop. They returned to England in 1916 and Edgell served as a chaplain in the Royal Navy.
