  • 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.

  • Th/-Dh and Final -F/-V in Cornish Discussion Paper for the AHG Michael Everson and Nicholas Williams 12 March 2008
    Final -th/-dh and final -f/-v in Cornish Discussion paper for the AHG Michael Everson and Nicholas Williams 12 March 2008 During an online meeting between the Linguistic Advisors and Albert Bock and Benjamin Bruch, it was agreed that several discussion papers could be forwarded to the AHG for further discussion and approval. This is one of those papers. In our response to the draft Outline of the SWF document, we noted that the definition of the distribution of these sounds and the graphs to represent them was imprecise. 5. 8. Fricatives: Word-final <-dh>, <-v> vs. <-th>, <-f> It has been agreed that word-final fricatives should be spelt in a way which reflects their status of voicedness/ voicelessness. Thus, the SWF writes bodh ‘will’, klav {clav} ‘sick’, but eth ‘eight’, dalleth ‘begin’, hanaf (~ hanath) ‘cup’, etc. Where evidence from the traditional Cornish corpus is ambiguous, Breton and Welsh cognates will be examined. This is problematic, because the text says two things. On the one hand it says that the graphs dh and v will be used for voiced sounds, and that th and f will be used for voiceless sounds. That’s perfectly fine. On the other hand it says that where the traditional corpus is ambiguous (which it will be because <th> is used for both [ð] and [θ]) then two other languages will be “examined”. But voicing and voicelessness in the other languages is not relevant to Cornish. Voicelessness in unstressed final syllables is common and contrasts with voicing in stressed final syllables throughout the system: mab ‘son’ methewnep ‘drunkenness’ neb ‘some’ hevelep ‘like ness’ wheg ‘sweet’ carrek ‘rock’ mog ‘smoke’ gallosek ‘powerful’ dov ‘tame’ warnaf ‘on me’ nev ‘heaven’ enef ‘soul’ ov ‘I am’ esof ‘I am’ gradh ‘step, grade’ noweth ‘new’ badh ‘boar’ gelwyth ‘you call’ (literary register) Recognition of this facet of Cornish phonology makes spelling easier for learners.

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.

  • An Introduction to Cornish Place Names
    . * AN INTRODUCTION TO CORNISH PLACE NAMES \ BY P. A. S. POOL, M.A., F.S.A. Second (revised) edition 1971 Obtainable from: ' The Author at 37 Morrab Road, Penzance, Cornwall Price 6p V ‘V CORNISH PLACE NAMES P. A. s. POOL C.ORNISH is a Celtic language, closely akin to Welsh and Breton, which remained the ordinary spoken language of most Cornish people until about 1500 and of a steadily decreasing minority until the late 18th century, its last survival being confined to small areas of the Penwith and Lizard peninsulas in the far west of Cornwall. Dolly Pentreath of Mousehole, who died in 1777, was not, as is commonly believed, the last to speak Cornish, but was certainly one of the last native speakers, and by 1800 at the very latest Cornish had finally died out as a spoken language, its revival as such being then more than a century in the future and totally unforeseen. It never- theless survived in traditionally remembered sayings and phrases, in hundreds of dialect words, but principally in thousands of names of places. Not only every village and farm, but also every field and prominent natural feature had its own name, and in the far west where the language survived the longest these names are nearly all Cornish, the few English ones being mostly modern. Generally, the further east in Cornwall one goes, the earlier Cornish gave‘ place to English and the smaller is the proportion of Cornish names, until in Tamar-side parishes they are a small minority. In the east, Cornish names often contain certain words as they were spelt at an earlier stage in the development of the language than those in the west, re- fiecting the earlier date at which use of the language ceased; thus nans, valley, is almost invariably found in names as nance in the west and mmt (the earlier form) in the east.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.
