It comprised a variety of performances, ranging from three pianists playing Percy Grainger’s <em>Zanzibar Boat Song</em> at the same piano, to Mozart, Schubert, and Hopkins songs sung by Mrs Pickard, to an apparently hilarious finale of Leopold Mozart’s <em>Toy Symphony</em> featuring ‘Mr Helsby’s gentle cuckoo and Mrs Hedges’ watery nightingale’. This concert by parents and friends may have seemed at the time to have been a one-off, yet it is an antecedent of the current 91³Ô¹ÏÍø School Choral Society in involving and making use of the tremendous talent pool of this constituency of the school.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>91³Ô¹ÏÍø Archives, Oxford, NCA NCS/E3/3<br>Poster [detail] for a 2023 concert</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>91³Ô¹ÏÍø Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2025-07/23NCN11%20%282025%29%20Stansfield%20on%20Choral%20Society.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=409344" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">23NCN11 (2025) Stansfield on Choral Society.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">399.75 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 28 Jul 2025 14:00:56 +0000 Christopher 3392 at /node/2603 <div class="top-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_navigation/public/2022-12/NCS.FB3_.2.JPG.webp?itok=Y-cS0hvq" width="655" height="435" alt="The School Football Team 1903/4, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Archives, Oxford, NCA NCS/FB3/2" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-title field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"><h2> 91³Ô¹ÏÍø School Archive </h2> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item">Michael Stansfield</div> <div class="field field--name-field-issue field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Issue number</div> <div class="field--item">(2022): 18</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-notes-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Notes category</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/437" hreflang="en">91³Ô¹ÏÍø School</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/74" hreflang="en">Archives</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/61" hreflang="en">91³Ô¹ÏÍø history</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="middle-wrapper"> <div class="inner-middle-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-8"> <div class="field field--name-field-summary field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><h3>For much of the history of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø School, dating back to the foundation of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø itself in 1379, recourse has to be made to the main archive of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø.
