  • The Sophia Morrison & Josephine Kermode

    The Sophia Morrison & Josephine Kermode

    THE SOPHIA MORRISON & JOSEPHINE KERMODE COLLECTION OF MANX FOLK SONGS A PRELIMINARY VIEW One of the difficulties of seeing Sophia Morrison and Josephine Kermode as song collectors is that there are no notebooks full of folk songs nor, say, a bundle of sheets pinned or grouped together to conveniently stand out as being the Morrison and Kermode Collection. There is not, for instance, the four tune books that make up the Clague Collection nor the bound transcript of the Gill brothers collecting to hold reassuringly in the hand. Instead, we have loose sheets scattered amongst her personal papers, others to be found in the hands of Kermode, her close friend and it is argued her fellow-collector. Then there are the song texts published in 1905 in Manx Proverbs and Sayings. And then, remarkably, her sound recordings made with the phonograph of the Manx Language Society purchased in 1904, the cylinders now lost. Morrison stands out as one of the pioneers in Europe in putting the phonograph to use in recording vernacular song culture. It is clear, however, that Morrison’s papers and effects have suffered a considerable loss despite them being in family hands until their eventual deposit in the then Manx Museum Library. One always reads through them with a sense that there was once more— considerably more—and so then they can present us at this date only with a partial view of her activities and that any sense or assessment of her achievements as a collector will ever understate her work. She was active as a folklorist, folk song collector, a promotor of the Manx language, and a Pan Celtic enthusiast of note.

    Fíanaigecht in Manx Tradition FÍANAIGECHT IN MANX TRADITION 1 GEORGE BRODERICK University of Mannheim Introduction: The Finn Cycle In order to set the Manx examples of Fíanaigecht in context I cite here Bernhard Maier's short sketch of the Finn Cycle as it appears in Maier (1998: 118). Finn Cycle or Ossianic Cycle. The prose naratives and ballads centred upon the legendary hero Finn mac Cumaill and his retinue, the Fianna. They are set in the time of the king Cormac mac Airt at the beginning of the 3rdC AD. The heroes, apart from Finn, the leader of the Fianna, are his son Oisín, his grandson Oscar, and the warriors Caílte mac Rónáin, Goll mac Morna and Lugaid Lága. Most of the stories concerning F[inn] are about hunting adventures, love-affairs [...] and military disputes [...]. The most substantial work of this kind, combin- ing various episodes within a narrative framework, is Acallam na Senórach . The ballads concerning F[inn] gained in popularity from the later Middle Ages onwards and were the most important source of James Mac- pherson's "Works of Ossian" (Maier 1998: 118). The individual texts of the poems and ballads concerned with the Finn Cycle seemingly date over a period from the learned scribal tradition of the eleventh 2 to the later popular oral tradition of the early seventeenth century. Sixty-nine poems from this corpus survive in a single manuscript dating from 1626-27 known as Duanaire Finn ('Finn's poem book') (cf. Mac Neill 1908, Murphy 1933, 1953, Carey 2003). According to Ruairí Ó hUiginn (2003: 79), Duanaire Finn forms part of a long manuscript that was compiled in Ostend in 1626-7.

Of Demolition and Reconstruction: a Comparative Reading of Manx Cultural Revivals Breesha Maddrell, Centre for Manx Studies, University of Liverpool Abstract This paper accesses Manx cultural survival by examining the work of one of the most controversial of Manx cultural figures, Mona Douglas, alongside one of the most well loved, T.E. Brown. It uses the literature in the Isle of Man over the period 1880-1980 as a means of identifying attitudes toward two successive waves of cultural survival and revival. Through a reading of Brown's Prologue to the first series of Fo'c's'le Yarns, 'Spes Altera', "another hope", 1896, and Douglas' 'The Tholtan' – which formed part of her last collection of poetry, Island Magic, published in 1956 – the differing nationalist and revivalist roles of the two authors are revealed.

    Manx Notes 144 (2013)

    Manx Notes 144 (2013) HOW OLD I S “JIN NY THE WITCH ”? * Here is not meant the putative witch herself but rather the dating of the rhyme itself. While “Jinny the Witch” is nowadays synonymous with Hop-tu-Naa itself,1 as a rhyme it is only a part of what once was a much wider song tradition in the Island connected with this Hollantide calendar custom and one which has seen change over the past century or so. It is clear that there was once a very different and, moreover, lengthier song text from the nineteenth century, the one recorded by collectors of the time and versions of which appeared in A.W. Moore’s Manx Ballads and Music (1896)2 and Dr John Clague’s Cooinaghtyn Manninagh: Manx Reminiscences (1911).3 Moore’s text consists of some twenty-two lines; Clague’s version is slightly longer with twenty-six lines recorded. Sung with a refrain after each line this must have been a lengthy piece to perform and of course thereby reduced the amount of money that one could collect from a household for its performance. This version (referred to here for convenience as “the nineteenth century text”) appears to have been generally known across the Island and recounts the events of a supposed feast taking place on the (presumably) evening of the 30 October. The action is surrealistic: firstly, a heifer is chosen with which to make broth. Upon tasting it, the broth maker’s throat is scalded and they run to a well to drink water in order to soothe it.

    Have You Got the Genuine Hop-Tu-Naa-MLA

    “ARE YOU QUITE SURE ABOUT YOUR ‘HOP-TU-NAA?’ HAVE YOU GOT THE GENUINE ‘HOP-TU-NAA?’” * 1 the t.e. brown lectures of 1893 & 1895 In January 1893, T.E. Brown delivered a talk to an audience in Castletown, the title of which was “Manx Celebrities in the South of the Island” if you read the Ramsey Courier,1 or “Manx Characters,” in the case of the Isle of Man Times.2 Both papers reproduced the text in two parts, though only the second half can now be found for each paper.3 The text of the lecture as reproduced in the Ramsey Courier and the Isle of Man Times differs, with the former being in the style of Brown familiar from his letters, while the latter is a plainer account of what was said on the evening. Brown had given a similar (if not the same) lecture earlier that month in Peel, “Manx Character and Characteristics,” on 12 January at the Centenary Hall,4 held in aid of the Church Repair Fund,5 and a précis of which had appeared in the Isle of Man Times.6 Brown spoke two years later on 19 November 1895, again at Castletown in the Town Hall, a fundraiser to support the costs of an action concerning the right of access to the Racecourse at Langness. His talk, “Castletown Fifty Years Ago,” covered the same ground as the lectures from 1893, again being reproduced in the newpapers, this time it being the turn of the Isle of Man Examiner to report it.7 In the course of the 1893 lecture Brown referred to “Hop-tu-Naa,” the Ramsey Courier reporting his words so: “Then about ‘Hop-tu-Naa.’ Are you quite sure about your ‘Hop-tu-Naa?’ Have you got the genuine ‘Hop-tu-Naa?’”8 The account by the Isle of Man Times was more succinct: “They had a peculiar version of ‘Hoptunaa’ at * Published separately with Kiaull Manninagh Jiu October 2020.
