!! 1968 EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC / MORLEY COLLEGE ---- {br}{br} {html} <TABLE BORDER="0"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="700"> Cornelius Cardew was named a fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in 1966 In 1967 Cornelius Cardew was appointed Professor of Composition there the following year by Sir Thomas Armstrong who was principal of the Royal Academy of Music at that times. "I thought that he will be desirable to have a young musician on the staff who is an avant-garde composer in touch with all with all is going on in Europe and America among the young people, and I thought he will inspire some of the other younger composers and provide a breath of fresh air in the somewhat academic atmosphere. […]" — <small>(Sir Thomas Armstrong, ca.1990, interview from the film <A HREF="https://vimeo.com/34287393" target="_blank">"The Content of our Song" by Stuart Monro, 2011</A>).</small> <br><br> In 1968, Cardew started teaching a course in Experimental Music at Morley College, an adult educational institution in South London. He taught evening classes from 1968 until 1973. Anyone was welcome – more than a few attendees got away without paying the fees – and the class attracted a broad church of musicians and composers plus visual artists, dancers, and others whose interest had been piqued by this curious and commanding figure. Michael Parsons, a composer who was amongst the first to enrol, remembers the course as a “musical laboratory.” : “There was no curriculum. People would bring pieces and try them out. Cornelius was very open to anything anyone brought along. Everyone was able to contribute and everyone’s ideas were welcome.” Painter Carol Finer, who attended, recalls, "Cor saw us all as potential performers and composers, to be taken seriously, even though some of us, such as myself, had no professional music training or expertise. I learnt that there was a valid music available to all, outside of the so-called professional musicians, and that I could be part of it. Music was for everyone." <br><br> The Scratch Orchestra grew out of a series of public classes in experimental music that Cornelius Cardew and other composers had been running in London in the late 1960s. These began at the Anti-University on Rivington Street and then at Morley College, a workers education centre set up in the 19th Century. — <small>(Ref. <A HREF="http://www.lipparosa.org/essays/problemsofnotation.pdf" target="_blank">Simon Yuill</A>)</small><br> Cardew was a committed if unorthodox educator. Richard Reason, his student at the Royal Academy in 1969, recalls composition classes at Cardew's home, where they exercised their imagination, inventing games and other surprising ways to instigate music. At the same time that he was puzzling his establishment colleagues, Cardew contributed to the anarchic 'Anti-University' that had a short and elusive existence in East London. For him, teaching was not laying down the law, but enabling others to join in processes of discovery. With Keith Rowe and Eddie Prévost, he took up study of Chinese language and culture. <small>— (cited by <A HREF="http://www.moredarkthanshark.org/eno_int_wire-dec01.html" target="_blank">Julian Cowley</A>)</small><br> It was from this course at Morley that the nucleus of the Scratch Orchestra developed. <br><br> </TD> <TD WIDTH="100">   </TD> <TD WIDTH="300" VALIGN="top"> <IMG SRC="https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/cardew/cardew4g.jpg"> <br><br><br><br><br> <IMG SRC="https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/cardew/cardew4h.jpg"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> {/html} ---- {br}{br} ---- ---- !!! 1967-1969 Concerts announcements {small}'''''Fac-Similes''''' : (click to enlarge){/small} ---- {br}{br} \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t {cap}{small}16 January 1967: Cornelius Cardew, ''Solo with accompaniment'' (first public performance), given by David Bedford and John Tilbury with Francine Elliott — Arts Council of Great Britain, Great Drawing Room, 4 St. James's Square.{/small}{/cap}{br}{br}{br}{br}\|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \| \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t {cap}{small}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew39_jan1968.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew39_jan1968_b.jpg]{br}Jan. 1968.{br} — Festival of New Music at the Arts Laboratory{br}Satie's Vexations by Richard Topp{br}New American Music : Robert Ashley, Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, La Monte Young, etc.{br}New England Music : Cornelius Cardew, Anna Lockwood, Richard Orton, Richard Topp, Hugh Davies, etc.{br}Music of John Cage : Concert for Piano and Orchestra, Electronic music for piano, First English performance with Variations IV.{br} — Source : [International Times archive\|http://www.internationaltimes.it/archive/page.php?i=IT_1968-01-05_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-23_003].{br}{br}{br}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew37_may1968.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew37_may1968_b.jpg]{br}May 1968.{br}MUSIC : Music Now in collaboration with I.C.A. presents Cornelius Cardew Ensemble playing Deathchant by LaMonte Young and In C by Terry Riley at 8:30 at 195 Piccadilly. 10/- WHI 6393.{br} — Source : [International Times archive\|http://www.internationaltimes.it/archive/index.php?year=1968&volume=IT-Volume-1&issue=31&item=IT_1968-05-17_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-31_005-012].{br}{br}{br}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew37b_may1968.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew37b_may1968_b.jpg]{br}May 1968.{br}JAZZ MONTHLY : #159, May 1968, 10–11{br}Victor Schonfield, “Cornelius Cardew, AMM, and the Path to Perfect Hearing”{br} — Source : {/small}{/cap}{br}{br}{br}{br}\|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t {cap}{small}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew38_june1968.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew38_june1968_b.jpg]{br}June. 1968.{br} — ''Spirals'' with Keith Rowe, John Tilbury, Cornelius Cardew, Lou Gare, Eddie Provost, presented by Music Nov at Commonwealth Institute, Kensington High St., W.8., 8.pm{br} — Source : [International Times archive\|http://www.internationaltimes.it/archive/page.php?i=IT_1968-06-14_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-33_006-015].{br}{br}{br}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew42_oct1968.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew42_oct1968_b.jpg]{br}Oct. 1968.{br} — MUSIC: Cornelius Cardew takes part in a free improvisation entitled 'Spacecraft'.

News of two more scenes of this type follows. In the bandstand on Clapham Common (where it really does all happen), on Sunday June 15 at 3pm there is a recital by AMM, featuring Cornelius Cardew and friends and the following. Sunday one can hear contemporary music performed by the New Music Group of the R.A.M. So if you Eke a free opportunity to dig some of the more obscure musical tiling that are happening, these are worth a trip.{br} — Source : [International Times archive\|http://www.internationaltimes.it/archive/page.php?i=IT_1969-06-13_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-58_012].{br}{br}{br}[../files/articles/cardew/cardew43_aout1969.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew43_aout1969_b.jpg] [../files/articles/cardew/cardew44_aout1969.jpg\|../files/articles/cardew/cardew43_aout1969_b.jpg]{br}Aug. 1969.{br} — MUSIC: Lou Gare, Christopher Hobbs, Eddie Prevost, Keith Rowe —AMM Music' at Artists Place, 17 Dukes Rd., WC1.{br} — MUSIC: Gavin Bryars, Christopher Hobbs, John Tilbury — solo for piano, WBAI & Diary — How to Improve the World (John Cage) at Artists Place, 17 Dukes Rd., WC1. 5/- members, 7/6 guests.{br} — Source : [International Times archive\|http://www.internationaltimes.it/archive/page.php?i=IT_1969-08-01_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-61_006].{/small}{/cap}\| {br}{br} {br}{br} {br}{br} ---- {html} <hr nosize><hr style="height: 10px; margin: -0.5em 0; padding: 0; color: grey; background-color: grey; border: 0;"><br> {/html}
