Year of Living Dangerously Music Credits original music by Maurice Jarre Music Co-Ordinator Sven Libaek Music Mixer Gethin Creagh 'September' from 'Four Last Songs' by Richard Strauss performed by Kiri Te Kanawa and The London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis courtesy of CBS Masterworks published by Boosey-Hawkes Inc. Excerpts of 'L'Enfant' from 'Opera Sauvage' by arrangement with Spheric B. V./Warner Bros. 'White Cliffs of Dover' performed by Vera Lynn courtesy of EMI Records 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On' performed by Jerry Lee Lewis courtesy of Sun International Corporation 'Long Tally Sally' performed by Little Richard courtesy of Vee-Jay International Records 'Beautiful Ohio Waltz' performed by Frank Bourke and the White Rose Orchestra courtesy of Frank Bourke Records 'Be-Bob-A-Lula' performed by Gene Vincent courtesy of Capitol Records 'Ain't That Lovin' You Baby' performed by Jimmy Reed courtesy of Vee-Jay International Records 'Tutti-Frutti' performed by Little Richard courtesy of Vee-Jay International Records Gamelan Orchestra Dept. of Music, Sydney University There is little point detailing composer Maurice Jarre at length in this listing, nor for that matter the astute, typical juxtapositions of Peter Weir of found music, ranging from Strauss's Four Last Songs through Vera Lynn and Frank Bourke to Little Richard and Gene Vincent. That's what - for an Australian-based film - a healthier than average American budget allows, even if minuscule by American standards. Jarre isn't unknown to Australian cinema - he would go on to do the score of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome for George Miller in 1985, and he would work with Peter Weir again for Witness in 1985 and in 1986 on The Mosquito Coast and again in 1989 on the Dead Poets Society, but he is a French composer who walked the world stage and is well documented. There is, for example an obituary for Jarre at The Independent, Maurice Jarre: Composer who won three Oscars for his work with David Lean, (may be slow to load), which makes a note on his work for this picture and with Weir: ….his work on Peter Weir's 1980s films tends to the generously melodic. The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) captures an Australian reporter in Sukarno's Indonesia with the ondes and evocations of the didgeridoo, while Dead Poet's Society (1989) includes a pipe band. But their finest collaboration is Witness (1985), in which Harrison Ford protects a child witness to murder in the Amish community. The barn-building scene, accompanied by a stately chaconne, was the film's highlight. Jarre denied that adding electronics to the orchestra for the score was expediency, saying that it would have been easier and cheaper to omit them. (for more on the ondes martenot, see its wiki here) On the Varése Sarabande LP of Jarre's film music, Peter Weir appended a note, signed and dated Sydney July '83: I can still see Maurice in the studio surrounded by dozens of exotic Asian instruments - banging on gongs and cymbals, tinkling, tapping and strumming, his head tilted to one side, a study in concentration as he chases after some elusive combination of sounds. Local studio technicians enjoyed working with Maurice as much as I did. Of course, he was subjected to our own Aussie style of humour, reserved for visitors - a combination of mockery, sarcasm and insult. I called at the studio one morning not long after Maurice had started work. I asked a technician if he'd arrived yet - "he's in 'A' mate, and by the way we call him 'Morrie' around here." With little time and a very vague brief from his director, 'Morrie' set about creating the music for the film. The result delighted me and when I return to the music today, I'm reminded as much of scenes from the film as I am of Maurice in the studio at 3AM surrounded by a confusion of people and equipment, staring into space and beating out a haunting tatoo (sic) on the Gamelan. Jarre has a wiki here. It is worth noting that Sven Libaek, better known as an Australian composer, is credited as the music co-ordinator on the film (some of Libaek's early movies are listed on Ozmovies here). (Below: Maurice Jarre) Being Jarre, the underscore has been released in a variety of forms and in combination with Jarre's other music.

  • Radio's War Lifeline News New Creative Radio Formats
    1940s Radio’s War With the television service closed for the duration, it was radio’s war and the BBC nearly lost it in the opening skirmishes. Listeners wrote in to complain about the new Home Service, which had replaced the National and Regional programme services. There was criticism of too many organ recitals and public announcements. But the BBC had some secret weapons waiting in the wings. Colonel (‘I don’t mind if I do’) Chinstrap and Mrs (‘Can I do yer now, sir?’) Mopp were just of the two famous characters in Tommy Handley’s It’s That Man Again (ITMA) team. The comedian attracted 16 million listeners each week to the programme. This, and other popular comedy shows like Hi, Gang!, boosted morale during the war. Vera Lynn’s programme Sincerely Yours (dismissed by the BBC Board of Governors with the words: "Popularity noted, but deplored.") won her the title of "Forces’ Sweetheart”. In 1940 the Forces programme was launched for the troops assembling in France. The lighter touch of this new programme was a great success with both the Forces and audiences at home. After the war it was replaced by the Light Programme which was modelled on the Forces Programme. Distinguished correspondents, including Richard Dimbleby, Frank Gillard, Godfrey Talbot and Wynford Vaughan- Thomas, helped to attract millions of listeners every night with War Report, which was heard at the end of the main evening news. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets…we shall never surrender.

  • February 2021
    CANONGATE KIRK THE KIRK OF HOLYROODHOUSE & EDINBURGH CASTLE www.canongatekirk.org.uk Newsletter February 2021 MINISTER’S LETTER There are so many striking images by which Captain Sir Tom Moore will long be remembered. His completing the marathon lengths of the garden that raised an astonishing amount of money for charity. His being awarded the rank of Honorary Colonel. His enjoying a flypast of WW2 aircraft on his 100th birthday. And of course his being knighted by a beaming Queen in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle. But I like to think that one of his lasting legacies will be his unfailing optimism. “Tomorrow will be a good day” was a mantra that stood him in good stead all through his long life, not just its final extraordinary year. And it was one that was surely forged in the grim days of war in the Far East, where over and over again a better prospect the next day was all the Forgotten Army had to cling to. The Burma Star amongst the medals clinking on Captain Sir Tom’s regimental blazer was a striking enough image in itself. The grim days we are still enduring bear no resemblance to those, yet we can still find encouragement in his spirit of optimism. “Tomorrow will be a good day” is much more than a weather forecast in this wintry spell, even though it reminds me of Vera Lynn’s old song: It’s a lovely day tomorrow, tomorrow is a lovely day; Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes on tomorrow’s clear blue skies.

He was 83 and was laid to rest at Torquay Crematorium. Denzl was with the Tigers at the time of their transition from Spitfires to Meteors and we published a few of his stories about experiences with the new jet fighter in previous editions of Tiger News. Those of you who were at Duxford last September at the RAF ACE event will have had the privilege of meeting Denzl who was there with his son Robert. We also say goodbye to Jack Thornton who died in February aged 91. Jack was a Tiger between July 1941 (when they were at Acklington) and April 1946 and was a Fitter IIE (Repair and Inspection.) This was Jack’s only posting and when he was demobbed in 1946 he had attained the rank of Corporal. And to Sqn Ldr Peter Pressley AFC who was with 74 from September 1951 to October 1953 at RAF Horsham St Faith, serving as Flying Officer and then Flight Lieutenant on the squadron. Our collective thoughts are with the families of Denzl, Jack and Peter. Churchill’s Cortege.
