An Culyek Hos (Cornish Music)

- There is relatively little Cornish music on the UA-cam. I bring you this, "The Mallard Duck," complete with pictures all taken on the Penwith peninsular in Cornwall's far west.
All instruments (whistle, low whistle, melodica, guitars, synth bass, violin, percussion) played by me.
Some people have requested permission to use this, and I tend to take a while to get back to them; please feel free to use this recording.
same here im 18 from hayle and there are to many londoners here thinking they can piggy back a house by the sea . Great song
English, Kernowek (Cornish), Cumbric, Gàidhlig (Scots Gaelic), Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic), Gaelg (Manx) and Cymraeg (Welsh). All the languages of Britain need to be completely revived. And I hope, within my lifetime, that they will be.
What about Anglo-Saxon and Norman French ? The Government still uses Norman French a little. Honi soit qui mal y pense.
I'm glad you put English on the list, because in reality, Native English speakers cannot speak free English. It's always hampered by this idea that Franco-Latin words are somehow more "sophisticated" and "proper."
If you asked people if that was the case, they'd say it wasn't, but if you gave them a list of words and asked about those words, they'd make a distinction between normal English and 'five dollar words,' which are exactly the kind I'm talking about. If you write a paper in nothing but Latin and French based jargon, even well-read academics have a hard time- because it's a grafted bastard English!
@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill I have never heard of "five dollar words". I don't believe you are English. You seem to be confusing English with Anglo-Saxon, which you would not be able to understand. Even Chaucer has a lot of French in it, and you probably couldn't understand that, because there are so many remnants of now forgotten (or simplified) Anglo-Saxon. We even owe our plural in S to French. (oxen is the old style, as in German, and "kine" as the plural of cow, which was in use in folk songs at schools in the 1950s ). (If you spell cow "kow", and think of the plural as "kowen", then "kine" makes more sense). Or you can make plurals with a vowel change like mouse mice. That's very common in German too. We still have louse lice --- only we seldom do !
In one famous example, a Physics professor tried to use pure English words, and he came up with "the uncometogetherness of stuff" ! (The repulsion of matter), We have come too far since 1066 for this to work very well . And it would cut us off from the rest of the world.
There is no need to be ashamed of this. Dutch and the Slavonic and Scandinavian languages do it too, while lacking our earlier Norman borrowings. German was slow to give up its purity (I wonder why !) which is why they have Fernsehen. Now they are adopting international words more than you would think.
Fernsehen is what the rest of the world calls "television". So what good did that do the German people, or anybody else ? They now have Telefon, but it used to be Fernsprecher
@@mirpopolos6209 I'm not from England. But it's my native tongue. The plural S comes from Old English. And you seem to be confused. I'm not saying we should speak Anglish, but simply stop pushing this idea that non-English origin words are somehow more "intelligent." I'm from a scientific background, and if you spend enough time trying to explain things to normal people, you'll find that speaking "like a scientist" will only confuse people. Often times, the easiest solution is a look at an etymological dictionary. You'll find that most scientific jargon words have synonyms that mean the EXACT same thing, but in normal English, and usually from Old English origins. Latin-based jargon is often used in science, law, and religion not because we don't have an English equivalent, not because the words are more effective, but rather because of the tradition of a snobbish group of elites. President Donald Trump was once criticized by corporate news outlets for giving speeches using words found at a 5th Grade level. In reality, at that level, the full normal language is well grasped by kids. Anything beyond that is either specialized knowledge, or unneeded, redundant jargon used by the intelligencia. In reality, it was a criticism of speaking like a normal person, which is somehow in our culture, a thing to belittle people with. This is an ancient holdover from the Norman Conquest, which created an ethnically separate ruling class, whose prejudices have scarred our very language. Those prejudices are what I'm addressing, nothing else.
@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill If you are then now living in England as a native, why do you use the word "dollar", which comes from German "Thaler" ? What would be wrong with "pound", if you want to keep the language pure ? After all, I don't think
the exact value of the currency came into it But in fact, I agree with you much more than you suspect. I have just had a letter from Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs, which is written in a very much simpler and purer English than most banks would use, and it was really a pleasure to read. I suppose "Highness" is a better word than "Majesty", but they are used in different ways, and you could never hope to reform that, just one very small example. For one thing, we all know that "Highness" is not so specific as "Majesty".
THE BRETONS AND SCOTS AND IRISH TOGETHER THE MANX AND THE WELSH AND CORNISH FOREVER
I'm from Cornwall but have lived most of my life in Bristol. I'm trying to get connected to my roots, this music is brilliant. Thank you and more please!
I’m from Cornwall and lived there for 10 years before I had to move away and I want to regain knowledge of the culture my ancestors have
I am Cornish and most of my family are from Cornwall, and as a young Cornishman (I'm only sixteen) I find it sad that my culture and heritage are dying. Great song though and keep up the good work!
Learn kernewek!
Kerneweken.
I'm from Denmark and New Zealand myself, but the majority of my family are from the Isle Of Man. I feel the same way.
My dads family moved from kent i think, to cornwall when he was 12. They settled in Kilkhampton and he went to bude for school. He studied farming. Then at 25 dad came to new zealand and started a family. I wish i couldve growen up in cornwall. Its so beautifull amd full of magic. Dad took me over a few years ago and for my 18th birthday we went up thebell tower in Kilkhampton. Cornwall is sooo beautifull, the country side and the forests, the towns, the people and culture and the history. I loved everythinf about it and i wish i could live there and have my little family there. It really is the best place ever. Nothing like it in new zealand. Youre not missing much over here
@@agrammarnazi41 im from new zealand too!! Cornwall is so magical ay. So much history and such a beautiful part of the country!
The Cornwall I grew-up in, as a Cornish girl, had people in it.
Dost thou speak Cornish?
I'm descendant of James Cole of Cornwall barnstable and Mary Tibbes son Hugh Cole my great grandparents grace L stone and William m.cole
I'm Cornish and I love it!
CORNWALL FOREVER!!!!!
Kernow Bryten æfre !!!!!!!
Kernow bys vykken!
Wales, Cornwall and Brittany, cousins seperated by Saxons
Just so you know, not the entire population of England is Saxon, only east Anglia & the eastern part of England. The Midlands is mostly a mix of both. I myself am Celtic yet I'm from London & my father is from Oxfordshire.
Jack Blue Then again, it could be said that East Anglia isn't exactly Saxon either, but was settled more by Angles, hence ANGLia. Some people think that the two groups completely mixed, but the truth is, they each settled separate parts of the island. Essex, now, would be more Saxon (Essex having been Eastseaxe).
+Jack Blue Seems daft to claim to be anything unless you know your family history back hundreds of years.
Abstrusus Yeah exactly. And there is also a DNA test which I have undergone to be able to make this claim about myself.
Alan, separated by sea 😊
we kicking out the emmets with this one 🔥🔥🔥🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🥶🥶🥶🥶
This is beautiful so are the pictures. I was born in Plymouth to a Cornish family and have always felt more Cornish although Devon & Cornwall have shared history being the translation of the names of places in Brittany where a lot of the inhabitants settled to in the years preceding the Romans withdrawn from Britain.
Im Cornish-Manx. Long live our Celtic brotherhood
Im Australian and have just found out i have a strong family connection to Cornwall especially in the Kerrier area (my great great grandfather was the one to come to Australia from Cornwall)....so im soaking all things Cornish up.
Haha same here mate
Brought tears to my eyes. - i do miss home.
I pray to all the gods, grant me this one wish. Let me see the land I lost my heart to again. I yearn to walk the coast and scale the cliffs, to smell the sea and to be caressed by the stormy winds. Kernow, I will see you again.
The language is growing bit by bit - dysk Kernewek /learn Cornish. See it as a way of fighting for your culture.
Salutations, Matthi!
@@rudhek8074 canst thou learn me a wee Cornish?
Where can I start to learn Kernewek? I am all about learning the mother tongue of my ancestors.
As a young Cornishman, always wanted to learn but wouldn't know where to start as I don't really trust random UA-camrs with the knowledge of our dying language. I wish I was taught it in school, however my little cousin apparently is being taught it in school now!
@@foofy14 as a cornish boy. I want my school to teach cornish. I feel it'll benefit me more then spanish ever will.
Kernow is the original Britain. Real Britain. Long live Kernow!

Thanks for uploading this! It's beautiful. I love the clear instrumentation, and the melody... what can I say, it's incredible.
I find the survival of the Cornish culture and language very inspiring. Whenever someone says my language is dying, I can just point them in the direction of the Celtic nations and how you guys have kept your culture in spite of so much adversity. Keep going, guys, and keep on enriching the world! You're amazing!
Greetings from South Africa.
RennaAtha, check on the group Changing Rooms.
I'm Maori and I do the same!
as a boer i find that cultural struggle relatable
I'm doing drama at college (I'll be leaving soon!) we used this song in the beginning of our adaption of the book Rebecca as its so hauntingly beautiful. :) thank you !
Beautiful music, so very lovely in every way!
Ya !! Kerne-Veur da viken ! C'hoar Breizh !
We need to get Cornwall recognised as a country (at least) in the UK
Why? Because
#ItsCornwallNotEngland
Kernel's crazy Adventure ober da , Cornwall for the Cornish, second homes should be given back to the fisherman and farmers
Words fail me
Agreed. And we could sort out certain problems if we did as well such as second homes.

Dhe-ves on it's own is out/away - ke dhe-ves is Go away, Cornish is very context based.
@@fulgrimtheilluminator2392 I wonder too if "ves" is "mes" with the second mutation after "dhe". It means "open country". As always, Cornish has a wonderful way of expressing itself! The more you learn, the more you want to learn.

This is a very nice piece and I really like the photo of the Piper Stone. There is however sadly little Cornish music on You Tube
I am not Cornish, but this music makes my soul dance.
As a lad with the surname of Cornwall, I hope to travel to the Cornish area before it becomes like any other place. It looks beautiful and old.
Beautiful!
Gorthorgha (sp?) da! Good evening! This is beautiful music!
Gorthugher da dhis ynwedh! (Good evening to you too) :-)
It's terribly sad how the landscape of barren field is now seen as normal in the UK and Ireland... The entire islands were once covered with lush and native forests, teeming with life. Let's not accept the deadening of the land, and rewild our natural world. No more bogland and conifer forests to be exploited for energy wastes, but back to a bountiful wild nature which we have never experienced in our modern age...
Love the music. Brilliant
Your work is incredible, keep it up!
Love it! (I'm from Tasmania.)
Hello from up north then. (Victorian.)
Sounds amazing!
Beautiful !!
Very nicely arranged and played,thanks.
Awesome music 💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶🌹🌹🌹
i have no ties to cornwall whatsoever, but it would probably be pretty cool to learn cornish, just to get in that club ya know
Good luck with that LOL. Cornwall is so welcoming to outsiders. Hey, they even think its a country, not a county ! Yes, really ! Well okay, lets do it then. Lets see how they survive as an independent nation with NO government funding. They have this romantic idea of self sufficiency but totally clueless as to how it would be sustainable. Tourism wont pay for everything. A few fishing boats wont add much to the economy either.
@@oddities-whatnot yeah i see that theyre recognized as a respective celtic nation. i'd love to move to cornwall, just so i could be the one american guy to try and learn cornish
@@oddities-whatnot If we stopped giving a 10% discount on council tax for second homes and started charging double, the Cornish economy would soar at a stroke. Ideally, capping the number of second homes to something compatible with local housing needs would still see a fair profit for the lost housing stock if council tax were doubled. At the moment, precious housing stock is just being given away (or "taken") at huge economic loss to the Cornish economy. Reparations are due.
There are plenty of ways Kernow could be economically self-sufficient. Under prevailing circumstances it wouldn't work, but it could be done.
By the way, Cornwall is a country. The border was set on the east bank of the Tamar in 936AD and never revoked.
Da yw genam. Meurras dhe why!
This is great to see

Thank you.
I approve of this Message...🙂

thank you
Kernewek an Prout. my mother making us move to devon for better access to london was the worst choice.
I'm still trying to keep up speaking Cornish it's hard but worth it for my family (I'm eighteen yr old lass) any other Cornish here?
I'm half Cornish from my mum's side but I'm proud to have it as a big part of my heritage.
This is lovely. I would love to use it as backing to my new Cornish homesteading channel. I will, if course credit you
cornwall was cornwall when england was just a pub cornwall will be cornwall when england fucked up
I'm not cornish... My father is American... The only cornish root i have is from the Vyvyan Family as far i can tell... a Younger son of John hannibal Vyvyan who left to virginia... It's less than 0,001% I think but is a powerful heritage hehe
Hi there friend, we use a version of this we put together for our show, could we use this version in places on the show? You will be credited every time
Yes, please feel free
Can you somehow please send me a file of this and other recordings?
Respect,tw
Meur ras bras dhis rag an gwydhyow ma! KERNOW BYS VYKEN!

Pft! There is loads of Cornish music on UA-cam! Oh, you mean Cornish FOLK music.....
Lovely tune though. And great pictures!
What you wrongly call the "Celts" were really the ;
ALANS,
OSSETE,
SCYTHIANS,
SARMATIANS.... etc.
Names change.........
I am 1st Generation in America..
What are the chords for this??
who can tell me about Cornish and music
The Cornish people. Not emmets.
Am I the only one around here who's not from the U.K.?
Nope
good to know
According to my youtube techie elves: 38% are from the UK, 12% are from the USA; 8% from Germany; 7% from France... etc. etc. :)
No thou art not.
MrPyroCrab... Seriously? I know it's a joke, but I'm Cornish and I am not an alien. I believe. Maybe I am... Idk
BrownieMSP / Luna Gamez in 17th people spoke Kernow
Who else is listening to this in Cornwall?
My surname upton is cornish
Kernow bys vyken
I'm a cornish born and bred man I'm 18 tho lol but I love my cornish heritage I blame the English for forcing us to lose our original things we do
ya, kernow bys vykken
Saw you are a rock & roll fan and thought you might dig my original tune "Say A Prayer". Lyric video attached. Let me know what you think? Appreciate the feed... ua-cam.com/video/NgTY0ii1eKg/v-deo.html
Liskeard still has quite a few pure Cornish folk here and it's lovely, but the emmets have been coming down a lot more and it's just- ughhhh
Your comment says more about you really. You dont deserve any respect with that attitude to outsiders. Dont worry, I wont be coming down and spending any money in Cornwall. Hope your tourism dries up. See how your little county survives. I can understand your resentment because of house prices and second home owners etc but instead of moaning and being snotty towards those from outside cornwall, why not get together and do something about the situation ? Write to your MP or something.
@@oddities-whatnot Ke dhe-ves, mar pleg.
Cornish born, fled to Scotland to avoid the English....
And you wonder why people dislike cornish folk with that attitude.
@@oddities-whatnot not really fussed tbh, when you cant live in the place of your birth because people have bought second homes that they barely live in, destroying the local economy (that little bit left after thatcher and her vampiric tory followers destroyed every bit of industry we had left) then you start not giving a shit what those buggers think.
Kernow Bys Vyken. And sod the Emmets.
So you moen about us English moving in then you move to Scotland. I think it's funny. Don't worry just taking the mick.iv got Cornish Scottish Irish English Romany blood in a mix. From a reincarnated wrecker
You’re so talented!!!! Much love from Cornish diaspora
