  • Music and the Cornish Way of Life Barbara Gardner-Bray
    Music and the Cornish way of life Barbara Gardner-Bray. November 2010 Simply put, Cornish music is folk music which uses simple instrumentation. It was and is a statement of the times, not unlike the Celtic music of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Over the years, music has played an important part in most occasions in Cornwall, be they holidays such as Christmas, festivals and celebrations such as May Day, county fairs or everyday life occurrences, such as marriages, burials, harvest time and so on. HOLIDAYS Christmas In the 19th century, carol or “curl” singing formed a prominent part of the festive season. Choirs would memorize carols as they generally couldn’t read music. They would travel from village to village, singing carols such as the “Seven Joys of Mary”, the “Holy Well”, and the “Holly and the Ivy”. A typical Christmas song of the 19th century went like this: “Welcome Christmas which brings us all good cheer Pies and puddings, roast pork and strong beer” Then the chorus reads “Come let me taste your Christmas beer That is so very strong And I do wish that Christmas time With all its mirth and song Was twenty times so long” As with other Cornish music, carols were introduced wherever the Cornish lived in the new world and old. 1 Richard Jose One Cornish singer of note was Richard Jose. Richard was born on June 5, 1862 in Lanner, Cornwall. He always said that he was born in 1869 so he would appear to be younger. He sounded younger than his years as he was a counter tenor (between a tenor and a soprano) which was very rare.

  • Sound Quality in Finnish Lutheran Churches
    Sound quality in Finnish Lutheran churches Frida Vikström School of Electrical Engineering Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 10.10.2016 Thesis supervisors: Prof. Ville Pulkki Thesis advisor: M.Sc. Henrik Möller aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master’s thesis Author: Frida Vikström Title: Sound quality in Finnish Lutheran churches Date: 10.10.2016 Language: English Number of pages: 8+94 Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Sound Processing Supervisor: Prof. Ville Pulkki Advisor: M.Sc. Henrik Möller Acoustical measurements were made in twenty churches in the Helsinki area, and their acoustical properties were compared to each other. The churches varied in size from small village churches to large cathedrals, were built between the 1470’s and 2005, and were built of stone, tile or wood. The churches were measured following the ISO 3382 standard. The results showed no clear distinctions between churches of different ages. The average reverberation time was longer than what is recommended for concert halls, with a small correlation to the volume of the church. The results of the modern churches were varying for all measured parameters, with no apparent correlation to the materials, sizes or ages of the churches. The average STI of 0.5 for all measured churches indicates that sound systems are needed in churches for the speech intelligibility to improve in the otherwise reverberant space.
