16 Jun 18 - 07:19 AM (#3931175) Subject: Rhythm & Melody: BBC Broadcasts From: Nigel Parsons Among the BBC Broadcasts for Schools for several years the broadcast of "Rhythm & Melody" was accompanied by a songbook which was part of the Singing Together songbook. In Autumn 1960 the two separated, having a single songbook for each broadcast series. The books I have for the pre-Autumn 1960 series are listed at the link above. This new thread is intended to list the few books I have for the Rhythm & Melody broadcast alone. I will list the songs in each issue, but will not attempt to include the 'music only' section which was just used for listening, and included several classical themes. |

Would you like me to post the contents before I file it in the loft? |

12 Apr 20 - 12:08 PM (#4045602) Subject: RE: Rhythm & Melody: BBC Broadcasts From: Nigel Parsons Hi, Steve. If it's 50s it will either be "Time and Tune", or "Singing Together, with Rhythm & Melody". In most cases we already have the contents listed (in chronological order) at one of these two links: Time & Tune Contents Singing Together Contents If it's not on those lists then please list the contents (here or there). If the contents aren't already listed then it's one of the few from the 1950s that I'm missing. Cheers! |

07 Sep 20 - 12:27 PM (#4071093) Subject: RE: Rhythm & Melody: BBC Broadcasts From: Nigel Parsons As I said in the Time & Tune thread: " I've had some requests from people trying to find particular illustrators of these pamphlets. While my interest is in the music, knowing how Google manages to find things here I thought I would place a list of the illustrators here. Given time late I might go through and add them to the individual contents lists."

23 Oct 20 - 06:39 AM (#4076519) Subject: RE: Rhythm & Melody: BBC Broadcasts From: Nigel Parsons The whole series of these (4 years, or 12 booklets) now digitised (scanned) to be more readily available. All the earlier Rhythm & Melody (which was included in the Singing Together booklets) also scanned (at least, those in my collection). This means I can reply promptly for info, rather than having to go find the booklet & scan/transcribe. |
