Classical Book Group- Reading Suggestions


Set Texts on the web and on CD

Recordings of the OCR A level and GCSE verse set texts are on line here to listen to or download.

You can also download "Read it right" , a guide to correct Latin pronunciation. This has recently been slimmed down for quicker downloading from 15+MB to less than 1MB. It's now a Flash program small enough to run straight from the net though there is also a download option.

For a written guide to pronunciation by F.R.Dale, click here

Recordings for the newest syllabuses are on audio CD from Wilf O'Neill.

Easier search for resources

Wilf O'Neill brings news of resources updates:

"A new searchable database for the ARLT and CA loan collections is now available. You can view the contents of the individual collections as before and also search for material across all three.

"Also new is an Online Resources page to which I will add items as time goes on. As a start it has a searchable database of journal literature and a link to my Latin pronunciation program, Read It Right!

"Access from the ClassicsNet portal at resources-for-classics.co.uk.

"I have an Access database of questions from the OCR(JACT) papers from 1976 onwards. Topics covered are Epic, Greek Tragedy and Comedy and some Art & Architecture and Roman Britain. As the papers are not in the public domain I cannot put this on the website but would be happy to e-mail it (430KB) to anyone who has legitimate access to these papers and might find it useful. "Contact Wilf through resources-for-classics.co.uk.



Latin Songs free to use

We now have a collection of easy-to-sing songs in accurate Latin which can be used in Latin Clubs or in the classroom.


Rouse's Chanties

Our founder, WHD Rouse, published a collection of songs in Greek and Latin which he called 'Chanties.' The Latin part of his book is now available here. (off-line for the present - 30.10.10 DPS) A sample:

Jack and Jill in Latin
W.H.D. Rouse, Chanties in Greek and Latin, 2nd ed. (1930):

Gellia atque Gellius
viam petunt in Alpes.
urceos manu tenent
aqua nova replendos.

ecce Gellius prior
cadit caputque frangit,
quem secuta Gelliast
subinde se revertens.

mater ut videt malum
silens utrumque curat.
namque uterque vapulat
bibitque uterque acetum.

A more or less literal translation:
Jill and Jack make their way into the Alps. In their hands they hold pails to be filled with fresh water. Behold, Jack falls first and breaks his head. Jill follows him, tumbling herself right after. When their mother sees the trouble, without a word she takes care of both of them. For both get a whipping and both drink vinegar.
