We sang 'Awake with joy, salute the morn' last Christmas in Aberdeen, which is in the book, also 'With what resplendent beauty shone' which isn't. Last year I attended the conference on 19th century music in Britain, held in Belfast, and someone gave a paper on Cornish carols. The conference proceedings may have been published by now.

      A copy of Matthew Camidge's 1823 book of 24 Psalm Tunes, was recently found in Dunedin so pieces from the West Gallery era did reach New Zealand. I wonder what other books are there to be found.

      Hi Brett, I use wg music with conventional SATB choirs a lot and approach it in the same way I teach anything else - note bashing and building parts up in short sections if necessary. If I think a... more

        Dear Brett, I agree with Sally's suggestions. We know that music travelled abroad, to US & Oz at least, from England in the 18th & 19th centuries, and it's likely some went to NZ too. I wonder what... more

          Dear Brett, Christmas may be a good time to have your SATB choir sing West Gallery, and if so there is plenty of material published in recent years in the UK. I think that what would impress are... more

              Chris Brown, Sat Aug 4 6:13pm
              Cornish Carols were to be found wherever Cornish men went to mine. They live on in Grass Valley in the gold bearing hills of California and I suspect elsewhere. Philip Payton compiled Cornish Carols... more

            This is obviously the wrong place to post,but I am interested in Mr Day's clarinet. I guess it would have six or more keys, but is not very likely to have five. Although anyone relying on available... more
