Charles Wood Festival of Music & Summer School Charles Wood FESTIVAL & SUMMER SCHOOL Charles Wood Charles Wood, the renowned musician and composer, was born at 11, Vicars’ Hill, Armagh in 1866 and received his early musical education as a chorister in the cathedral opposite his home. He later studied at the Royal College of Music and became a Professor there before succeeding Stanford, another fine Irish musician and composer, as Professor of Music at Cambridge University. When Wood died in 1926 he left behind a legacy of over 250 sacred works, plus a large number of hymn tunes. His other compositions include songs, music for Greek plays and chamber music. But it is largely for his sacred music that he is remembered today and this is why the focus of the Summer School is music in worship. Welcome Message We are delighted to announce the programme for the 2019 Charles Wood Festival and Summer School. We’ve over 30 top-notch events for you to choose from in churches across Armagh, plus a visit to Portadown with our Girls’ Choir. This year we’ll welcome the wonderful Ulster Orchestra to perform with the Charles Wood Singers. They’ll be conducted in a recording for BBC Radio 3 by our Artistic Director, David Hill, with readings by celebrity Gloria Hunniford. Gloria will also be the guest speaker at a special meal just before that event. Don’t miss it! Our opening concert will set the standard for the week, featuring the winners of BBC Northern Ireland’s Senior School Choir of the Year, Thornhill College Londonderry, and Martin Baker – organist royalty and Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral London. Martin will be the Chair of this year’s Northern Ireland International Organ Competition, now in its 9th year, and we are thrilled to continue that relationship. Other highlights include a Festival of Choirs Concert, culminating in a massed performance of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, and Lunchtime Concerts showcasing young local musicians. They’ll include baritone Malachy Frame – winner of the Charles Wood Song Prize at our inaugural Song Competition. There are lots of opportunities to get involved, such as workshops and lessons with our resident vocal coach Paul Farrington, so do circle some dates in your diary and experience brilliance in some of our finest buildings.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

  • Early History of Hamiltonban Township (1730 – 1860)
    Early History of Hamiltonban Township (1730 – 1860) The earliest European settlers came to the area in the 1730s. Before 1767, parts of what are now Adams and York Counties were claimed by both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Two disputed settlements in Adams County were "Digges Choice", in the vicinity of Littlestown and Hanover, and "Carroll's Delight," in the vicinity of Fairfield and Hamiltonban. Pennsylvania countered the claims of Maryland for the disputed areas by importing settlers. About 1729 the Governor of Pennsylvania, in order to stop further encroachment on the part of Maryland, sent word to the Penn brothers, sons of William Penn, to send him some fighting men. In response, they sent a colony of one hundred forty families from Ulster, Ireland, led by Captain Hance Hamilton. This colony of Scotch-Irish settlers landed at New Castle, Delaware, August 24, 1729, and went almost immediately to what is now Adams County, where they took up land and began to build their homes. Captain Hance Hamilton had a large family, including two daughters and six sons. One of his sons, also named Hance, became Sheriff of York County. In 1735, the proprietor of Maryland, Lord Baltimore, granted 5,000 acres in what is now Hamiltonban Township to Charles Carroll, who named it Carroll's Delight. In 1741 Archibald Beard, John Withrow, James McGinley and Jeremiah Lochery purchased Carroll's Delight. At that time, the purchasers believed that the land was in Maryland, and it was not until the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed in 1767 that it was determined that Carroll's Delight was actually in Pennsylvania.
