Model Music Curriculum: Key Stages 1 to 3 Non-Statutory Guidance for the National Curriculum in England
Model Music Curriculum: Key Stages 1 to 3 Non-statutory guidance for the national curriculum in England March 2021 Foreword If it hadn’t been for the classical music played before assemblies at my primary school or the years spent in school and church choirs, I doubt that the joy I experience listening to a wide variety of music would have gone much beyond my favourite songs in the UK Top 40. I would have heard the wonderful melodies of Carole King, Elton John and Lennon & McCartney, but would have missed out on the beauty of Handel, Beethoven and Bach, the dexterity of Scott Joplin, the haunting melody of Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G, evocations of America by Dvořák and Gershwin and the tingling mysticism of Allegri’s Miserere. The Model Music Curriculum is designed to introduce the next generation to a broad repertoire of music from the Western Classical tradition, and to the best popular music and music from around the world. This curriculum is built from the experience of schools that already teach a demanding and rich music curriculum, produced by an expert writing team led by ABRSM and informed by a panel of experts – great teachers and musicians alike – and chaired by Veronica Wadley. I would like to thank all involved in producing and contributing to this important resource. It is designed to assist rather than to prescribe, providing a benchmark to help teachers, school leaders and curriculum designers make sure every music lesson is of the highest quality. In setting out a clearly sequenced and ambitious approach to music teaching, this curriculum provides a roadmap to introduce pupils to the delights and disciplines of music, helping them to appreciate and understand the works of the musical giants of the past, while also equipping them with the technical skills and creativity to compose and perform.

EDITORIAL the Next Issue of This Newsletter Will Be Number 100 By
EDITORIAL The next issue of this Newsletter will be number 100 by the reckoning I made when I took over with No. 41 in June 1983, 31 years ago. I took over from Brian Ballin after a lacuna of nearly a year, and was given a copy of No. 37, which came out the previous year, to guide me. I received no other briefing and was told by Jeffery Tillett that I was expected to produce four per annum, which for a few years, I obediently did. No one told me that Peter Billson had been doing covers for Brian, so in ignorance I put a steel engraving on the front cover, and hurt his feelings. I also made the Newsletter longer, which put up the cost and eventually the committee told me to reduce the number of issues to two a year. As by this time I was married and promoted at work, this came as a relief, as everything in those days had to be typed laboriously out (and later typed up uniformly by Robin’s sister) and pasted up with illustrations (themselves an innovation) before going off to Tatlers (of blessed memory) for printing. As No. 100 will be my 60 th issue, I sought the committee’s sanction to produce it in colour (good-bye steel engraving on the front cover) and I am sure that those members who have seen the last two issues on the website will know that it looks a million dollars in colour and only a few bob in black-and-white.

The Second English Folk Revival, C. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell
Subterranean Bourgeois Blues: The Second English Folk Revival, c. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. 2 I, Julia Yvonne Mitchell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis explores the folk revival phenomenon in England, through an original examination of its place in the social and political history of the country after the Second World War. Although its roots stretched back to the early twentieth century, the post- war English folk revival significantly occurred in the context of the nation’s de- industrialisation, and exposed tensions between, on the one hand, a nostalgic lament for a fast-disappearing working class life, and a ‘forward-looking’ socialist vision of working-class culture. The original contribution to knowledge of this project lies in its analytic approach to the English folk revival as an important part of the post-war political culture. It looks at the revival from the outside in, and contextualizes the movement in the social and political story of post-war England, while also placing it within a dynamic transnational framework, a complex cross-Atlantic cultural exchange with its more well-known American contemporary. In so doing, this thesis contributes to the existing historiographies of folk revivalism in England, as well as the social and political historiographical discourses of the postwar period: the continued salience of class in English society; the transformation of the nation’s economic infrastructures; the social and political influence of the Welfare State – the folk revival tapped into all of these overlapping strands, and helped to magnify them.

An Apres Morris Song Archive
1 Ale, Glorious Ale (trad.) Àlf a Pint of Ale (Gus Elen) 1. For breakfast I likes a little bit of toast, Now when I were a young man my father did say And àlf a pint of ale. Summer`s a coming it’s time to make hay And for dinner I likes a little bit of meat, Now when hays been carted don’t you ever fail And àlf a pint of ale. To drink gaffer`s health in a pint of good ale. Now for tea I likes a little bit o` fish, And àlf a pint of ale. Ch. But for supper I likes a crust of bread and cheese, Ale, ale, glorious ale And a gallon and a half of ale. Served up in pewter it tells it’s own tale Some folks likes radishes some curly kale All Around My Hat (trad.) But give I boiled parsnips and a gurt dish of taters And a lump of fatty bacon and a pint of good ale. Chorus All around my hat, I will wear the green willow, And all around my hat, for a twelve-month and a day. 2. Now take those teetotallers they drinks water neat. And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearin' it, It's all for my true love who's far, far, away It must rot their gutsies and give ‘em damp feet. Now I always say that a man can’t grow stale On boiled beef and bacon and a pint of good ale.

English County Songs
ENGLISH COUNTY SONGS WORDS AND MUSIC • COLLECTED AND EDITED BY LUCY E. BROADWOOD _./ AND J. A. FULLER MAITLAND M.A.. F.S.A. COPYRIGHT. PUBLISHED BY ]. 8. CRAMER AND CO., LTD., 139. N&W Boo STR.E&T1 LONDON, W.1. PREFACE. No excuse, such as would be necessary in bringing forward a new collection of Scottish, Irish, or Welsh traditional songs, need be offered in the present instance, since the number of existing collections of English songs is comparatively small, and those which are of real value are either difficult to procure, or they refer only to one district or county. The ordinary albums of English ditties contain but a very small propor tion of songs which are strictly speaking traditional ; the compositions of Bishop, C. E. Horn, Stephen Glover, and other popular writers of their periods, are nearly always drawn upon more largely than is necessary or desirable. The reason commonly alleged for the inclusion vf such things among national melodies, viz., that England is relatively poor in traditional music, breaks down completely upon examination. The large amount of material collected by Chappell does not by any means exhaust the tunes that remain among the English peasantry; nor does the scheme of Popular Music of the Olden Time embrace the songs which seem to have sprung up, no one knows how, within the last century or century and a half. In the present collection, an attempt has been made to localize, as far as possible, a number of traditional songs of different periods and styles, ali-or nearly all-of which are still current among the people.

MT Records History
MT Records - a Labour of Love The beginnings: Musical Traditions Internet Magazine began out of a sense of pride and disappointment on my part. I had written an article, of which I was rather proud, on the dance tradition of Ponte Caffaro in northern Italy. It was due to be published in Musical Traditions No.13, some time in 1995/96 ... and I was greatly disappointed when the Editor decided to cease publication after No.12. Musical Traditions had been a paper magazine covering many aspects of traditional music and traditions having some associated musical content. Its coverage was not limited to any one country or continent, and reflected the interests of its editor and contributors. It was the most recent in the noble line of privately produced British publications in this field; one might mention Ethnic (started 1959), Abe's Folk Music (mid '60s ?), Traditional Music (1975) - there were surely others too ... Musical Traditions was first published by Keith Summers in 1983 and was the longest lived, running to 12 editions before folding in late 1994. Its content was wonderfully varied, ranging from the Tommy Talker Bands of the West Riding in No.1, to Christmas Sports in St Kitts-Nevis in No.12, and touching on the more well known Seamus Ennis, Walter Pardon, Coppers, John McKenna, Johnny Doughty, Dennis McGee, Junior Crehan and Lucy Farr (to name a few) in between. The subjects of its articles spanned the world, taking in Africa, West Indies, Ireland, USA, Hawaii, The Ukraine, France, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Greece, Australia, Samarkand, Mexico and Armenia, as well as the UK.

Keep Folders Intact for Time Being
University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 383 Title: Hudleston Collection Scope: A large collection of material collected by Nigel and Mary Hudleston reflecting their interest in folk songs, calendar customs, folklore and traditional drama and dance, including sound recordings, notes, newspaper cuttings, photographs, cine film and colour slides. Dates: 1816-2003 Level: Fonds Extent: 50 boxes Name of creator: Nigel and Mary Hudleston Administrative / biographical history: Nigel and Mary Hudleston collected original recordings of folk songs from Yorkshire and Ireland in the 1950s and 1960s: Songs of the Ridings – a collection of Yorkshire folk songs – was published in 2001 after Mary Hudleston’s death. It is for their interest in Yorkshire songs that the Hudlestons are best known, and newspaper articles and a BBC Radio 4 programme have concentrated on this aspect of their work. However, the Hudleston Collection contains not just their field recordings and notes, but also newspaper cuttings, cine film, photographs, and almost 4,000 colour slides recording folklore, calendar customs, and traditional drama and dance. The Collection also includes 37 pottery figures depicting characters from folklore and calendar custom commissioned by the Hudlestons and created by Monica Devey. Nigel Hudleston was born in 1915 into a landowning family and spent his childhood at Rillington, near Malton in North Yorkshire. He graduated with a B.A. from Trinity College Cambridge and inherited Cayton Hall, at South Stainley near Harrogate, in 1943. He moved in during the 1960s, after he married Mary (Robinson), the daughter of a Wharfedale farmer. Nigel Hudleston died in December 2006 at the age of 91.
