Victorian Cornish Carols
Number 1
Redruth & St Agnes District
Published
by Federation of Old Cornwall Societies
Published
October 2010
This A4 size book contains a selection of 33 musical scores of Cornish
Christmas Carols collected and published by Robert
H. Heath in Redruth in 1889. Heath was a local
teacher of music and organist at the Redruth Parish
church. These carols tunes are in the Cornish style and
were handed down from father to son and sung not
only in church or chapels but also deep underground
in the mines, on street corners and in the local
inns. Because they are very simple with a basic four
part harmony a precise knowledge of music was not
required to perform them. Consequently, the Cornish
carried their "tunes" with them wherever they went
and Robert H. Heath took them to South Africa where
he became the organist at Johannesburg Cathedral.
Today you can hear them performed from Grass Valley,
California, to Moonta, Australia as well as many
places in between wherever the Cornish settled.
A splendid present for anyone with an interest in
Cornish music.

"All
of me"
by
Brenda
Wootton
The discovery of
the master tapes of this concert, recorded in 1984, has provided the
material for the first new album by Brenda in fifteen years and
marks a significant time when she was at the peak of her musical
career.
It's unique, as it
is the one and only time Brenda has recorded before a live audience
and confirms that as a singer from Cornwall she has no parallel.
This collection of songs has put her back into the spotlight for a
'final', captivating performance.
This album is a
rare combination of material about Cornwall, romantic ballads, jazz
and blues, but mostly it's for anyone who loves Cornwall.
It's nostalgic to
those who remember Brenda singing in local folk clubs and,
internationally, at festivals and concerts across the world, and is
relevant today to a new audience, as Brenda's voice and repertoire
distinctively captures the essence of her 'country'.

Hear
some Cornish Dialect
|
"Angletwitch & Poppydocks"
Cornish Dialect Words Rhymes &
Stories
"Angletwitch is the dialect word for Earthworm
in West Cornwall whilst Poppydocks is dialect for
Foxgloves in the same area. In North Cornwall the
dialect for Foxgloves is Floppydocks which
demonstrates how Cornish Dialect may change in
different parts of Cornwall.
Since 1920 members of the Old Cornwall movement have
striven to keep alive Cornish dialect. They have
collected words, phrases and stories as well as
writing poetry and stories of their own using
dialect words. In 1925 the Federation of Old
Cornwall Societies published its first "Old
Cornwall" Journal and from then on Cornish Dialect
has appeared in many issues. This book contains a
collection of stories and poems taken from past
Journals plus words and sayings from different
areas.
This will make a lovely present for those interested
in the Social History of Cornwall.
