Download or read book Music in Welsh Culture Before 1650 written by Sally Harper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music in Wales has long been a neglected area. Scholars have been deterred both by the need for a knowledge of the Welsh language, and by the fact that an oral tradition in Wales persisted far later than in other parts of Britain, resulting in a limited number of sources with conventional notation. Sally Harper provides the first serious study of Welsh music before 1650 and draws on a wide range of sources in Welsh, Latin and English to illuminate early musical practice. This book challenges and refutes two widely held assumptions - that music in Wales before 1650 is impoverished and elusive, and that the extant sources are too obscure and fragmentary to warrant serious study. Harper demonstrates that there is a far wider body of source material than is generally realized, comprising liturgical manuscripts, archival materials, chronicles and retrospective histories, inventories of pieces and players, vernacular poetry and treatises. This book examines three principal areas: the unique tradition of cerdd dant (literally 'the music of the string') for harp and crwth; the Latin liturgy in Wales and its embellishment, and 'Anglicised' sacred and secular materials from c.1580, which show Welsh music mirroring English practice. Taken together, the primary material presented in this book bears witness to a flourishing and distinctive musical tradition of considerable cultural significance, aspects of which have an important impact on wider musical practice beyond Wales.

Book excerpt: For her ninth book of Celtic harp music, Suzanne Guldimann has researched and arranged 18 historic pieces of music drawn from and inspired by Jane Austen's personal collection of music. As a bonus, the not-quite-period English country dance popularized by the 1995 A&E version of Pride and Prejudice is included. The collection features classical pieces by Mozart, Handel and Gluck; and a haunting and romantic selection of the French, Italian, Scottish and Irish traditional airs that were tremendously popular during the late 18th/early 19th century, including several with lyrics by Robert Burns, and two pieces reported to have been among Jane Austen's personal favorites.All of the pieces in the collection are arranged to fit on a small harp with just three octaves, but can also be played on larger harps or on any melody instrument. Each arrangement includes fingering, chord symbols, lyrics when available and historic notes.
