"The Sounds And Silence LP that was produced in 1969 to act as a companion album to the book of the same name. These were intended as guides to creative projects in the classroom. Children who wrote and performed the recordings came from the following schools: Burnt Yates Endowed Scholl, Ripley, Yorkshire, The Jessie Younghusband County Primary School , Chichester, Park Boys’ County Secondary School, Moseley Grammar School, Birmingham, York Children’s Theatre Workshop, Bishop Otter College, Chichester and the University Of York. There are two pressings of this album, a UK one and a German version. Neither LP indicate who plays what and I am certainly not going to guess. Whether the goal of encouraging children to explore music more is difficult to say, but I have no doubt some of the recordings will have influenced anyone who listened or took part. Worth pointing out is The Lyke-Wake Dirge, where a group experiments with a traditional folk song to create an atmosphere of ritual and mystery. They certainly succeed. The track Musique Concrete was made using limited instruments and tape manipulation. And an Aleatory Game is a rule-based musical piece with pupils reacting to each other. The idea is to produce something of the same feeling “that we might derive from the play of light on water”.
