1) What types of music are there in Britain? Use the Word Box to learn the meaning of the highlighted words.
Britain is famous not only for its rock groups and rock singers but also for its long and strong traditions of folk and classical music. As well as this, you can listen to country music, jazz or spirituals that came from America.
Look at the musical map of Britain. In Scotland that is in the north of Britain the national instrument is the bagpipe which is the most exciting to the Scots though some people outside Britain think it is tuneless. But for centuries, up to the First World War, Scottish pipers encouraged their soldiers by playing their music at battles. Here is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The Edinburgh festival is an annual festival of music and drama, it is held every summer.
Welsh romantic and sentimental bards were known even to the ancient world. They still meet every year at the Eisteddfod. And in Wales you can find the best choirs and the best choral music.
The north of England is sometimes called “the land of the brass bands”. Many people who don’t understand complicated music like their catchy tunes.
Aldeburgh is a small town in the south of England where the famous British composer, conductor and pianist Benjamin Britten lived.
London is famous for its opera houses and concert halls where famous musicians conduct the best symphony orchestras. In London Henry Purcell, a great British composer, lived. His opera Dido and Aeneas is considered the first British classical opera. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock operas or musicals are staged all over the world; they are always played to full houses. The first nights of his famous rock operas often take place in London theatres where every seat is usually taken.
