    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.

    Bbc Radio 3 - Sounds of Shakespeare April – May 2016

    BBC RADIO 3 - SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE APRIL – MAY 2016 MONDAY 18TH – FRIDAY 22ND APRIL Essential Classics Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 0900 - 1200 In the week leading up to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary, the guest on Radio 3’s morning programme is Adrian Lester OBE, acclaimed for his performances as Henry V and Othello at the National Theatre – winning the Evening Standard Best Actor award. He’ll talk about Shakespeare, his life as an actor and choose some fascinating music. Producer: Sarah Devonald, Somethin’Else Composer of the Week Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 1200 – 1300 William Byrd There is frustratingly little evidence that William Byrd was personally acquainted with his fellow Elizabethan, William Shakespeare. Although, a tantalising reference to “the bird of loudest lay” in Shakespeare’s sonnet, The Phoenix and the Turtle hints that they may have been more than mere contemporaries. As a Roman Catholic in Elizabethan England, William Byrd was persecuted by the state and often forced to tread a dangerous path between his personal convictions and his duty to the Queen. His musical talent and his strength of character enabled him not just to survive, but thrive. Despite his trials, he was, and continues to be, celebrated as the greatest British musician of his age. SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE LIVE 22nd – 24th April, Stratford-upon-Avon Radio 3 broadcasts live all weekend from its pop-up studio at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Other Place theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and at venues across the town. Actors, musicians, poets, singers and orchestras perform a huge range of songs, film scores, jazz, chamber music, choral works and world music - all inspired by Shakespeare's works.

Still living in Provo, Utah, I picked up David Ra- kowski from the airport for a visit to BYU. We had met a few years earlier through the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition, when Davy was on the board of advisors and I was an intern. On that drive several years later, I asked him if he had any suggestions for my doc- toral application portfolio, to which he immediately responded, “You were actually a finalist.” Because of his encouragement, I applied to Brandeis a second time, and the rest is history.

As befits a university like DePaul—one in which its Catholic, Vincentian heritage defines and informs its identity and choices as an institution—tonight we look at the ways in which religious values, texts, and ideas find their way into pieces of music in sometimes unexpected ways.

It would be hard to overestimate the influence that Dr. King had on US and world culture during his short life, much of which ramifies in unpredictable ways today. While the ways in which political struggles polarize and continue seem especially obvious and vital in 2018’s complex social environment, no less important is the diffuse but omnipresent influence his legacy has had on arts of all kinds.
