  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

    1 COMUNICATO STAMPA ENAC – ASSAEROPORTI Il 21 GIUGNO EVENTI E CONCERTI IN 16 AEROPORTI ITALIANI ENAC, ASSAEROPORTI E I GESTORI AEROPORTUALI ADERISCONO ALLA FESTA DELLA MUSICA 2019 Per la terza edizione consecutiva, l’Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile, Assaeroporti e le società di gestione aeroportuale italiane aderiscono alla Festa della Musica, evento internazionale promosso nel nostro Paese dal Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali, dall’Associazione Italiana per la Promozione della Festa della Musica, dalla Rappresentanza in Italia della Commissione europea e dalla SIAE, in collaborazione con molti altri enti e associazioni culturali. Il prossimo 21 giugno, sedici aeroporti italiani proporranno numerose esibizioni musicali di diverso genere rivolte ai passeggeri e alle comunità aeroportuali, con repertori che spazieranno dall'opera lirica al jazz, dal pop al rock, dalla musica barocca al country, alla musica popolare. Artisti di fama nazionale e internazionale prenderanno parte all’iniziativa che coinvolgerà anche prestigiosi teatri lirici, accademie, associazioni, istituti musicali e conservatori italiani. All’iniziativa hanno aderito 16 aeroporti, ovvero gli scali di: Alghero Cagliari Palermo Torino Bari Milano Malpensa Perugia Trapani Bergamo Napoli Pisa Trieste Bologna Olbia Roma Fiumicino Venezia “Celebrare la musica e i musicisti – ha dichiarato il Direttore Generale dell’ENAC Alessio Quaranta - in luoghi di aggregazione come gli aeroporti, dove persone, culture e idee si intersecano e interagiscono è naturale e simbolico proprio per lo spirito di contaminazione intrinseco nella musica, come nel viaggio aereo. In vari aeroporti nazionali è oramai consuetudine sia lasciare strumenti musicali a disposizione dei passeggeri che vogliano suonarli, sia ospitare concerti e altre manifestazioni artistiche in una strategia dell’accoglienza e dell’interazione tra arte, lavoratori aeroportuali e passeggeri.

DAVID RAGSDALE, Guest Conductor • GREGORY VAJDA, Music Director One of the nation’s major aerospace hubs, Huntsville—the “Rocket City”—has been heavily invested in the industry since Operation Paperclip brought more than 1,600 German scientists to the United States between 1945 and 1959. The Army Ballistic Missile Agency arrived at Redstone Arsenal in 1956, and Eisenhower opened NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in 1960 with Dr. Wernher von Braun as Director. The Redstone and Saturn rockets, the “Moon Buggy” (Lunar Roving Vehicle), Skylab, the Space Shuttle Program, and the Hubble Space Telescope are just a few of the many projects led or assisted by Huntsville. Tonight’s concert celebrates our community’s vital contributions to rocketry and space exploration, at the most opportune of celestial conjunctions: July 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission, and 2020 brings the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, America’s leading aerospace museum and Alabama’s largest tourist attraction.
