Andante Quasi Lento E Cantabile by Victor Hely-Hutchinson. Performed by Barry Rose / Pro Arte Orchestra Album compiled, produced and mastered by Mark Ayres at Tempus Fugit, 2018 The Box of Delights by John Masefield was made by BBC Television in 1984 and transmitted on BBC1 from 21st November 1984 to 24th December 1984 Adapted by Alan Seymour Produced by Paul Stone Directed by Renny Rye Executive Producers for Silva Screen Records Ltd. Reynold D’Silva and David Stoner Album artwork and packaging design by Clayton Hickman hen John Masefield’s 1935 fantasy novel The Box of Delights was first adapted for radio in 1943, part of Victor Hely-Hutchinson’s Carol Symphony was chosen Wto set the scene. So successful was this pairing that it was used again over the years on each of the next four radio adaptations. So when The Box of Delights finally came to BBC Television in 1984, it was natural that this tradition should continue. It’s a story for the Christmas season, and the slightly unearthly, unsettling variations on The First Noel set the scene beautifully. But it’s not long before we are following Kay Harker into the midst of the timeless struggle between good and evil, magical manifestations, mayhem, and bizarre characters coming (literally) out of the woodwork, leading eventually to a reassuring happy ending. So the essentially gentle music of the Carol Symphony has to give way to incidental music that is a little more hard-edged and threatening. We pass through an off-beat Alice in Wonderland fantasy world to arrive in more dangerous Harry Potter territory, where some of the characters are irredeemably evil. As the creator of the incidental music, I approached the story with all the tools of a Radiophonic Workshop studio. However, this is not science fiction; certainly, magical things happen, but within the confines of an almost believable reality. This could be a definition of successful fantasy writing. So, to keep the music in line with this vision, I regularly incorporated conventional musical instruments into the score and from time to time I reference Hely-Hutchinson’s harp motif to underscore a particular emotional moment. Roger Limb November 2018 aul Stone and Renny Rye’s 1984 production of The Box Roger composed this score in the same year as his equally of Delights was an award winner: three BAFTAs (Best well-received music for Peter Davison’s final outing as PChildren’s Programme, Videotape Editor, and Lighting) Doctor Who in The Caves of Androzani, and while and an RTS Award (Technique). It was also nominated for the The Box of Delights’ greater budget allowed Video Cameraman and Graphics BAFTAs but – amazingly – not for those featured live elements, there is a for the music. Boo! Hiss! (As they say). But it has endured, with clear relationship, not least in the shared many people of my own acquaintance making re-watching it percussion loops used here in King Arthur’s an essential part of their yearly Christmas experience. And Camp. I should also point out that while the who can blame them? It’s charm personified, with some production paperwork lists Andrew Knight truly magical sequences as Kay Harker opens the box of as harpist, Roger remembers it as being delights into animated fantasy worlds and meets figures John Marson. Sadly neither gentleman from folklore, the narrative intertwining the pagan and is still around to ask. Christian mythologies of this most traditional of holidays. The music was of course recorded As with our previous release of Paddy Kingsland’s The in mono (one of BBC Television’s most Changes, this music has been much-requested down the years exacting – but in retrospect frustrating (you know who you are!) so it’s lovely to finally be able to bring this – technical requirements at the time!), recording to your ears. In my humble opinion, you’d have to go some so it’s been placed in a stereo space here, way to beat the marvellous combination of Roger Limb’s inventive with many of the shorter cues combined radiophonics and live instrumentation embodied here. There’s the into longer tracks. warmest of Christmas cheer to be found in Snowman and Kitchen Fugue, offset by the most deliciously shivering of winter chills in Enjoy.

  • Back from the Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland
    Back From The Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland Posted: April 22, 2014 robinthefog.com/2014/04/22/back-from-the-fourth-dimension-paddy-kingsland/ As promised, following last week’s report for BBC World Service, here is the first of four interviews with the veterans of the Radiophonic Workshop, the ‘Godfathers of British Electronic Music’, now reformed and touring their collection of vintage analogue equipment and classic radiophonic works to rapturous reception. They’ll be featured in the order I interviewed them two weeks ago at the University of Chichester, so we’re starting with synthesiser legend Paddy Kingsland; the man who definitely put the ‘funk’ into radiophonics. Best known for The Fourth Dimension LP (essentially a Kingsland solo album), he has a string of classic BBC themes to his name, as well as providing incidental music for such classics as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Dr. Who and many more. Paddy has also recorded solo albums, made library music and jingles for KPM and worked alongside composers such as Michael Nyman. His signature sound is melodic synthesiser workouts with a strong rhythmic back-bone and the track ‘Vespucci’ is a highlight of their revived set-list. This interview, slightly truncated here, took place in the artist’s green room at Chichester University; with moderate interruptions from the air conditioning... ! PK: I worked at the Radiophonic Workshop for the BBC between 1970 and 1981, which is quite a long time ago now. Of course I’ve done quite a lot of other things since then, but more recently I was approached by some other friends who worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and was asked if I‘d be interested in doing some gigs with them – some live events.

  • 'A Very Long Shadow' – Roger Limb
    ‘A Very Long Shadow’ – Roger Limb !Posted: April 28, 2014 | Author: Robin The Fog | Continuing with my interviews from the alumni of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, we move on to genius composer Roger Limb. Part of what I suppose we could call the department’s ‘second wave’, he joined the workshop at the dawn of it’s synthesiser era in 1973 and worked as one of its principal producers and composers for over two decades, creating a huge body of signature tunes for television and radio drama that will almost certainly be familiar to anyone growing up in the UK over the past thirty years. Perhaps best known for his substantial contributions to Doctor Who during the eighties, he also recorded and produced many of the songs for the cult BBC Schools programme Look And Read, including the famous ‘Magic E’ song that became the subject of much rather tiresome postmodern chuckling in subsequent years: ! A respected pop and jazz musician outside of the workshop, Limb has now rejoined his friends and former colleagues as part of a revamped Radiophonic Workshop band and will be touring the festival circuit with them over the summer. This interview took place during a rather brief interval in a long day of discussions and performances at Chichester University. Despite being pushed for time, however, Roger’s additional years as a voiceover artist and continuity announcer for the BBC meant that he had no trouble putting his points across quickly and succinctly! ! ! RL: I think the Radiophonic Workshop has a sort of legacy, [because] even though it closed down 15 years ago, there’s a whole generation of people for whom the phrase ‘Radiophonic Workshop’ has some sort of mystical quality.

And, for want of a better place to put it, there’s also our first single. Through A Glass Darkly Through A Glass Darkly – REC 307 – 1978 “When you’re working from scratch there’s nothing’s worse than having the whole universe to choose from.” Peter Howell Peter Howell may have some misgivings about the blank canvas* offered by electronic music, but when he needed engage in a spot of self-promotion at the Workshop this was the challenge he took upon himself. In contrast to all the other Radiophonic releases reviewed here so far and to all of the other Radiophonic Workshop material released by BBC Records, this record was the composer’s own idea. *Or, rather, tape. Although that wasn’t always the case and as we’ll see in a later part, re-using tape sometimes brought its own serendipitous opportunities. How Well Do You Know Peter? Peter Howell was born in 1948 grew up around Brighton. As a fan of The Shadows he came to love the guitar and as the sixties started to swing he took that forward into an interest in the folky picking of Bert Jansch and Pentangle. He was supposed to follow his father into a career in law, but as we know that was not his true calling. By the late sixties Howell was playing and recording music with local bands.

  • Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who
    Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who by Emilie Hurst A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Emilie Hurst ii Abstract This thesis explores the intersections between repetition, leitmotif and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in the context the BBC television series Doctor Who (1963-1989; 2005- ). Deleuze proposes that instead of the return of the same, repetition, by its constant insertion in a new temporal context can produce difference as part of the process of the eternal return. He also rejects the concepts of being in favour of becoming. I argue his framework on repetition allows us to broaden the definition of the leitmotif and embrace the role of repetition. I analyse the leitmotif of three characters: Amy Pond, River Song, and the Doctor. In all three instances, the leitmotifs are an active participant in the process of becoming while, simultaneously, undergoing their own becoming. For River, the leitmotif also works as a territorializing refrain, while for the Doctor, use of leitmotif paradoxically gives the impression of being. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors Alexis Luko and James Deaville for providing me with guidance along the way, as well as Paul Théberge who stepped in the final month to help me re- organize my thoughts. The input of all three helped insure that what follows is a much more cohesive, better organized final product. I would also like to thank graduate supervisors Anna Hoefnagels, and examiners Jesse Stewart and André Loiselle all of whom went out of their way to assure I completed my defense on time.

  • 2017 the BBC Radiophonic Workshop
    http://www.toppermost.co.uk/bbc-radiophonic-workshop/ The BBC Radiophonic Workshop October 16, 2017 The BBC Radiophonic Workshop (l to r): Desmond Briscoe, Dick Mills, Delia Derbyshire, Keith Salmon, Brian Hodgson Contributor: Duncan Harman “Established in 1958 to provide original sound treatment for Third Programme drama,” intones the dry and unassuming blurb on the back cover of the 1968 LP BBC Radiophonic Music, “we now provide a creative service for radio, television, local, regional and external broadcasting.” Which is one way of describing the BBC Radiophonic Workshop – and were we merely discussing the sound effects unit of a public service broadcaster, we could settle on an underwhelming summary, tidying away references to experimentalism and musique concrète and batshit crazy. The point being that the Workshop was so much more than a bunch of disparate technicians and composers tasked by Auntie Beeb to add a little pizazz to Play Of The Week; through the corridors of the BBC’s Maida Vale complex skulked some of the leading figures of mid-20th century sonic radicalism – Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire, Brian Hodgson, Maddalena Fagandini. By definition their musical output was atmospheric – otherwise TV and radio producers wouldn’t have commissioned it – yet it was also weird, textured, nuanced, esoteric, pioneering, and – above all else – fascinating. Sound as bricolage, subverting boundaries between music and noise. And whilst the Workshop was an umbrella beneath which artists functioned primarily on an individual basis, there’s also a commonality in play; a framework through which spliced tape, ring modulators and early synths became states of mind as much as base instrumentation.
