MOZART- the Marriage of Figaro Northern Ireland BBC Proms in the Park Saturday 10 September 2011 8.00pm - 10.45 pm, Bangor Castle, Bangor Welcome to BBC Proms in the Park, Northern Ireland from Castle Park, Bangor in County Down for a wonderful feast of music in the company of The Ulster Orchestra conducted by David Brophy, Barry Douglas, Lesley Garrett, Craig Ogden and Declan O’Rourke. Listen Again to Radio Ulster Coverage of the Event Part One Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- Overture to The Marriage of Figaro Ulster Orchestra: Northern Ireland’s only full-time professional orchestra, with over 60 musicians. Most of the orchestra’s work is in the Ulster Hall and Waterfront but it’s members also record for the BBC, make CDs, give regional concerts and perform in schools. At the baton: David Brophy, principal conductor of RTE Concert Orchestra. Tonight’s boss travels the world conducting mostly classical music – but he has also performed with U2 and Riverdance. What’s an overture? Usually it’s a collection of the best bits from an opera. The audience hears the overture at the start, then recognises the big tunes when they come along later in the performance. What’s quirky about this overture? It doesn’t contain any bits from the rest of the opera! Instead, it’s a fast moving, bright and breezy starter which is often used by itself in concerts. Mozart is probably the most prominent composer of the elegant 18th Century classical style. He toured Europe performing as a child genius before building a career in Vienna. He was famous, but poor. More than anybody else, he uses simple scales to create sophisticated music which always feels elegant and balanced.

This rousing march is one of them. Bizet died of a heart attack at the age of 36 when his opera was still a commercial flop, scorned by the critics.

She combines her successful international career as a singer with many television appearances on shows ranging from Strictly Come Dancing to Countdown. Verdi – master of 19th Century Italian opera, composer of many instantly recognisable snippets of opera, such as the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves and La donna e mobile (which has nothing to do with a lady on the phone…) What’s an aria? - This is one! It’s a self-contained song within an opera, usually with a very expressive tune. So when you hear someone singing part of an opera out of context, it’s almost always an aria you’re listening to. What’s it about? - This aria is sung in the opera by Elena, who has just escaped execution and been told that she can marry Arrigo, the man she loves. The title means “Thank you, dear friends” – and in the aria she thanks everyone around her for the generous gift of flowers - and expresses her delight for the fact that she is soon to experience the intoxicating joy of marital love.

Lesley Garrett- The Impossible Dream (Mitch Leigh/Joe Darion) The Impossible Dream – written in 1965 by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion as part of the musical, Man of La Mancha. It is sung in the musical by Don Quixote, a character of great imagination, whose mid-life crisis results in a series of failed adventures. The song has become one of the standards of popular repertoire, recorded by artists as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Carpenters. Lesley Garret also performed this song at the London Proms in the Park in 2008, conducted by comedienne, Sue Perkins, who had won the opportunity to conduct at the Proms on the BBC TV series, Maestro!

Karl Jenkins – First Movement from Palladio Strings only – This is a very exposed piece for the strings, and they have to work hard to create a beautiful rich blend of sound. Palladio - written in 1996, but inspired by a 16th Century Venetian architect called Andrea Palladio. He rediscovered and reused some of the principles of classical Roman architecture. In a similar way, Karl Jenkins takes some of the principles of classical musical style and presents them in a fresh new way for modern listeners. This piece has become something of a jewel in the crown for Karl Jenkins, thanks to its appearance in a long-running series of TV commercials. Jenkins is also known for creating large choral works such as The Armed Man and Adiemus. For Adiemus, Jenkins famously set his music to meaningless “words”, so that listeners can focus on the pure soundscape of the vocal music.

Craig Ogden - Cavatina from The Deer Hunter (Stanley Myers) Craig Ogden – one of the world’s finest classical guitarists. Born in Australia, his work has taken him all over the world. He was the youngest instrumentalist ever to be awarded a prestigious Fellowship from the Royal Northern College of Music. Thanks to an early recording by guitar legend John Williams, Cavatina by Stanley Myers was famous some time before the release of the film, The Deer Hunter, which uses it as its main theme. Some listeners may also remember it was the music from the Gallery in the children’s programme, Take Hart, where we also first met Morph. The melody is very simple to the ear, but requires real technical skill to play well. The guitarist has to move the position of his left hand many times whilst keeping the notes incredibly smooth, so that the phrases of the tune don’t break up. Watch how Craig manages to achieve this balance between getting his hands round the instrument and keeping the tune going seamlessly.

Rodrigo was blind from the age of 3 because of diphtheria and had to write his compositions in Braille. Rodrigo was something of a one-hit wonder among his contemporaries, but this concerto has done more than any other to earn the Spanish guitar its position as a serious instrument for classical music. Rodrigo was honoured with a hereditary title (1st Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez) because of his contribution to Spanish music.

  • How Do Film-Makers Manipulate Our Emotions with Music? by Helen Stewart BBC Arts & Culture
    How do film-makers manipulate our emotions with music? By Helen Stewart BBC Arts & Culture In 1939, queen of Hollywood melodrama Bette Davis starred in Dark Victory - the tragic story of a wealthy party girl dying of a brain tumour. The audience knows that death will follow quickly after blindness. In the finale, her character's vision begins to falter and she moves slowly up a grand staircase. Davis knew this moment would secure her chance of a third Academy Award. She asked the director, "Who's scoring this film?" and was told it was the supremely talented Max Steiner. Steiner had composed the revolutionary score to King Kong in 1933. It was the first full Hollywood soundtrack, and one that allowed its fans to empathise with the fate of a plasticine gorilla. Davis was a clever woman. She understood the value of a soaring musical score, but feared its ability to outshine a performance. "Well," she declared, "either I am going up those stairs or Max Steiner is going up those stairs, but not the two of us together." Davis' opinion was ignored and two Oscar nominations were created in that scene. One for her and one for Steiner. It demonstrates the importance of music in film, and the power a soundtrack can have over audiences. Heightened senses Composer Neil Brand, presenter of BBC Four's The Music that Made the Movies, believes our senses are already heightened as we enter the cinema. "The darkness, the strangers, the anticipation, the warm comfortable embrace of the cinema seat. We're ready to experience some big emotions," he says, "and the minute the music booms out, we are on board for the ride.

  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

  • 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.

Trick Film: Neil Brand’s Radio Dramas and the Silent Film Experience Leslie McMurtry, University of Salford Abstract At first glance, silent film and audio drama may appear antithetical modes of expression. Nevertheless, an interesting tradition of silent film-to-radio adaptations has emerged on BBC Radio Drama. Beyond this link between silent film and radio drama, other radio dramas have highlighted that Neil Brand, a successful silent film accompanist, radio dramatist, and composer, links the silent film experience and audio drama in two of his plays, Joanna (2002) and Waves Breaking on a Shore (2011). Using theories of sound and narrative in film and radio, as well as discussing the way radio in particular can stimulate the generation of imagery, this article examines layered points of view/audition as ways of linking the silent film experience and the use of sound within radio drama.

    Film Score Blogs [Blog # 48] Saturday, March 8, 2014 8:45 am]: This first entry read here by viewers is actually the final one I am writing for this blog in order to header set the time & date for the freshest entry. After that you'll be reading blogs from earlier entries eventually reaching up to this March 8 date. I wrote at length yesterday (March 7) so I have no fresh news this morning. I intend to send off this blog and Chord Profile # 10 (On Dangerous Ground) to Sarah in a few minutes to finally update this original FSR site after a long delay of 15 and a half months! I am retired now from the USPS after about 30 years so I've been spending time on researching--primarily now at Usc/Warner Bros. Archives off 37th & Flower. It's the easiest film score location for me since it is only about 22 miles from my house. If I rent a car I can go on the 405 north to 110 north and get off on 37th street, and it's right there immediately to my right as I get off the freeway ramp! Lately I've been taking the bus and Metro Blue rail to get there. The transportation takes longer (about an hour and 15 minutes) but it's a lot cheaper than renting a car! I take the local bus in my city to the Blue Line station, take the Blue Line up to the Pico Station, walk a few blocks to Figuerora there at Staples Center, and wait for the Metro 81 bus southbound and get off at Exposition.
