READING LISTS SENIOR SCHOOL Name Class Welcome These reading lists are a selection of the titles available in the Senior Library at Dulwich College and are intended for students’ and parents’ guidance. They aim to include a range of genres and writing styles to engage, interest and perhaps challenge students to broaden their reading choices. With over 6000 children’s books published in the UK alone every year it is often difficult to identify quality writing so these lists are an attempt to guide you towards some of the best available. The lists should be used with discretion. If you feel the list for your particular age group does not include titles at an appropriate level for your reading age and ability level you may wish to select from the list intended for a younger or older year group. However the main aim of these lists are to encourage an enjoyment of reading and to introduce you to books you may not have considered reading. Reading broadens horizons, helps develop written and spoken vocabulary and spelling, aids in the development of empathy, expands one’s thinking and imagination, and may introduce you to new ideas and worlds. It is one of life’s fundamental skills and pleasures. The Library, in conjunction with the English Department, runs an annual Senior School Reading Challenge where students are encouraged to read from a wide range of genre over the course of a year and maintain a reading log as well as completing a range of literacy tasks. We also participate in the International School Librarians Network Red Dot Book Award each year http://www.reddotawards.com/ where students are challenged to read eight books in their age category and vote for the favourite. They may then compete in the Readers Cup event and represent Dulwich in an annual quiz, against other Singapore schools, testing their knowledge of the books. Our library catalogue http://dcsg.follettdestiny.com/ has an extensive range of Recommended Reading Lists under Resource Lists>Public Lists where books are categorized according to genre as well as reading age and level. You may also wish to make use of our Pinterest page http://www.pinterest.com/DCSGLibrary/ which presents this information in a visual format with links to Good Reads reviews. The library website contains masses of useful links, and can be accessed through the parent portal, or via http://dcsg.fireflycloud.asia/welcome-page The Library Staff 2016 Year 7 Recommended Reading Richard Adams.

Long before the advent of synthesizers, this extraordinary keyboard revolutionised rock and pop music. For the first time, it brought a potentially unlimited range of sounds to a musician’s fingertips. As the world’s first sampler, its pre-recorded tapes included everything from a symphony orchestra and church choir to samba combo and rock’n’roll drum rhythms. The result is an insight into the social history of British pop and rock music—in particular progressive rock—and explains some of the reasons why British music came to rock the whole world. Top musicians, songwriters and producers chart their careers with the Mellotron, the first sampler keyboard whose eccentric mechanism led to it being affectionately called “The Beast”: Tony Banks (Genesis), Mike Pinder (Moody Blues), Ian McDonald (King Crimson, Foreigner),

Artículo / Artigo / Article An Interrogative Hermeneutics of Popular Song Allan F. Moore University of Surrey, UK [email protected] Abstract This article presents a methodology for the analytically-enriched discussion of meaning in recorded popular song. It argues for a middle way between assumptions of universal and entirely relativist meaning, based fundamentally on Gibson’s ecological psychology. It begins from the position that a listener encounters not a recording as communicable object, but a persona instantiated by a recording. Focus on the persona necessitates discussion of the personic environment constituted by the remainder of the musical fabric, and leads to a formulation of authenticity which acknowledges the weight put on this quality by many audiences. The paper then explores embodied meaning as a way of approaching the way that music feels, again acknowledging audience concern, and closes with a focus on the ecological position. Each of these stages in the argument is provided with a variety of illustrations. Keywords: Ecological perception, embodied meaning, persona, environment, authenticity Una hermenéutica interrogativa de la canción popular Resumen Este artículo presenta una metodología para el enriquecimiento analítico de la discusión sobre el significado en la canción pop grabada. Se argumenta, fundamentalmente a partir de la psicología ecológica de Gibson, a favor de un camino intermedio entre los supuestos universalistas y el significado exclusivamente relativista. Se parte de la posición de que un oyente no se encuentra con una grabación en tanto objeto comunicable, sino con una persona representada por una grabación –persona instantiated.

    From Prog-Folk-Rock Legends the Strawbs on New “Best Of” Collection

    1 SING-ALONG TO “PART OF THE UNION” FROM PROG-FOLK-ROCK LEGENDS THE STRAWBS ON NEW “BEST OF” COLLECTION Once upon a time in the ‘70s, British folk music melded with British rock. From Jethro Tull, Renaissance and Genesis to Fairport Convention and the Strawbs--perhaps the most adventurous of them all--U.K. bands brought their roots to rock. The Best Of Strawbs edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UME), released February 25, 2003, pays tribute to a prog-folk-rock outfit exemplified by once playing an electric dulcimer through a fuzzbox. Featuring 10 selections digitally remastered from the original master tapes, The Best Of Strawbs spans four of their nine A&M albums and includes their best-known recordings, “Part Of The Union” and “Lay Down.” In 1968, the Strawbs became A&M Records’ first U.K. signing. But it was not until their fifth album, 1972’s Grave New World, that the band, which earlier included the likes of Sandy Denny and Rick Wakeman, broke through in the U.S. With singer-guitarists Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper, keyboardist Blue Weaver, bassist John Ford and drummer Richard Hudson, Grave New World, produced by Bowie/T. Rex collaborator Tony Visconti, became their first U.S. charter and narrowly missed the British Top 10. The Best Of Strawbs culls the album’s “Benedictus,” the track with the aforementioned unique instrumentation. 1973’s Bursting At The Seams, the Strawbs’ first self- produced effort, saw the group move into more overtly rocking territory as co-founder Hooper was replaced by the more aggressive Dave Lambert.
