SUMMARY:Lustleigh May Day Celebrations
DESCRIPTION:Lustleigh May Day Celebrations.\nIf you’re looking for a traditional English May Day\, you probably couldn’t beat Lustleigh’s celebrations on Saturday\, May 4th 2024. Spectacles include maypole dancing by the children of the village\, a brass band playing and a display of Morris dancing. The highlight will be a procession through the pretty village with the May Queen being crowned in the village orchard. Further distractions to keep visitors occupied include stalls\, games\, a raffle\, face painting\, and traditional Devon cream teas. \nThe fun begins at 1pm. \nThe Parade starts at 2:00pm. \nAn excerpt from ‘Legendary Dartmoor’: \nToday\, probably the most famous May Queen celebrations can be found at Lustleigh. Here the May Day traditions had lapsed until in 1905 Cecil Torr revived them. They have been held on the first Saturday in May ever since and initially the ‘crowning’ took place on a hillside above Wreyland. Here there is a huge granite boulder where the ceremony took place\, the boulder has inscribed upon it the names of all the May Queens up to 1954. Then the celebrations were moved to the Town Orchard where the Queen’s throne was erected on a rock. Like its predecessor this rock has the names of the all the May Queens inscribed on it from 1954 to 2000\, the rock is known as the May Day Rock. In the May of 2000 a new throne was unveiled at the May Day celebrations. The throne was cut from granite from the nearby Blackingstone Quarry\, it was designed by Doug Cooper and carved by Warren Pappas\, on it is inscribed ‘MM’. The crowning celebration begins early in the morning when the ladies of the village make a grand canopy of flowers. Then early in the afternoon the Queen is escorted by four bearers who carry the canopy and a procession is led around the village. The Queen’s crown of fresh flowers is carried alongside the retinue. The procession then stops at the church steps where the queen is blessed by the rector and the village children sing songs. The May Queen is then escorted to ‘The Orchard’ where she is crowned on the May Day Rock and then the villagers dance around the May-pole. During the afternoon teas are served\, brass bands play and Morris Dancers ‘clog’ their jigs and dances. \nTo read more of the History of Lustleigh May Day and see some historical photographs visit: \nLustleigh May Day – A History \n \n

SUMMARY:Divertimento: "No one is an island"
DESCRIPTION:Divertimento: “No one is an island” – Sunday October 15 in Lustleigh Village Hall 3.00pm\nThe next Divertimento Quartet concert is on Sunday October 15th in the Village Hall at 3.00pm.  Adult tickets £18 in advance at the Dairy or on the door.  Those of us who are under 18 get in for free! \nThere are 4 works on the programme:   Mozart – String Quartet K 80\,     Britten – Simple Symphony (string quartet version)\, Purcell – 2 Fantasias\,  Elgar – String Quartet in E minor. \nThe title of this concert\, No one is an Island\, is taken from the wonderful saying of John Donne\,  slightly adapted for the sake of modern sensibilities\, came to mind when we were conceiving a DSQ programme of English music. It is a pertinent message for our times\, politically and socially\, for sure\, but in the context of English music\, it is important to acknowledge the outside influences that formed the English national style. \nPurcell was influenced by French and Italian music.  His Fantasia music comes across as the most timeless of these four great composers\, somehow both modern sounding and ancient. It is extraorfinary that he wrote this music aged 21.   Mozart was 14 when he wrote his 1st string quartet in G major K 80. The original 3 movement work was completet on 15th of March\,1770  while touring in Lombardi. The 4th movemant was added later\, possibly in 1773 for a performance in Vienna. \nContinuing with the youthful theme Benjamin Britten was 20 when he wrote his Simple Symphony but its genesis was earlier in that it was based on themes conceived between the ages of 9 and 12.  There are 4 movements: 1. Boisterous Bourree  2. Playful Pizzicato  3. Sentimental Sarabande  4. Frolicsome Finale. Written initially for a string ensemble Britten also produced a version for string quartet. \nThe main work on the programme is the String Quartet in Eminor Op.83 by Edward Elgar. At the age of 61 in the summer of 1918 at ‘Brinkwells’\, his charming cottage at Fittleworth in Sussex\, he embarked on writing his 3 greatest pieces of chamber music\, the Violin Sonata\, the String Quartet and the Piano Quintet. These pieces are a late flowering of his talent and represent a peak in English chamber music.  The Quartet is in 3 movements:  1. Allegro moderato  2. Piacevole (pleasantly) (poco andante)  3. Finale (allegro molto). \nWe are very much looking forward to hearing the wonderful Divertimento Quartet bringing to us great live music so please encourage friends to come and experience the event.
