Reverse cover of LP
An intriguing piece of ephemera, Crawfordton in Concert was recorded at Crawfordton House in the summer of 1984 and performed by pupils and guest musicians during the course of the school year. At the time of recording, the school numbered 80 pupils ranging in age from 6 to 13½ years.
The reverse cover of the LP (pictured) is a collage of performance pictures, illustrating the interiors of the house and chapel in 1984.
“The school orchestra plays daily in our morning and chapel service, the choir sings in both Scottish and English prep school gatherings and performs by invitation at outside churches as well as leading our own Carol Service and Sunday services. A full opera is staged annually at Easter, and concerts are given at Christmas and at our Summer Speech Day”.
The recordings include music by Fiocco (1703-41), Baston (18th Century) and Fasch (1688-1758). Links to this post
