I'm singing Poulenc's Gloria and Stravinsky's Book of Psalms for the next three nights. http://masterworksofoakville.ca/ That's us

These guys are other pro groups but they're both about our size and we're not far from their skill levels. We are broadcast locally but the media outlet that does it, owns the recording and unfortunately does not post them on YouTube. ... at least, not yet.

p.s. Most sessions we sing something Baroque.

Mention of Tchaikovsky calls to mind part of his Symphony N° 6. I had heard it played in the movie, COPKILLER (1977) but could not place it. I had missed the opening titles of the movie on TV so I did not know the name. About a year later, I was in another city and the movie came on but again I missed the first few minutes and that music was beginning to haunt me. I went next day to a video rental store and told the assistant that I was looking for a movie with Harvey Keitel and John Lydon but I did not know the name. No problem, he assured me, we can find any movie once we know an actor's name. He looked at Harvey Keitel's list and John Lydon too but there was no movie that met the description. How could this be?

A year or two later I took ill and was taken to an emergency room at a hospital in another country. They took blood and special x-rays and I was waiting alone in a cubicle for the results. Then that music came over the radio speaker! What the heck is that, I asked. Is this the end? Is this music taunting me?

Quite by accident, I found a poor quality tape of COPKILLER later still and the mystery was solved. That part of Symphony N° 6 was adapted and given words and called, Tchaikovsky's Destruction. I have added it here for anyone who wants to hear it.

So does Stephen Fry - despite him having a Jewish background and losing members of his family to Her Hitler's political 'world view'.

Ronald Binge who composed the Elizabethan Seranade was born in a working-class neighborhood of Derby in the English Midlands. He wrote some lovely light music.

English collector of folk tunes, Ralph Vaughan Williams, is one of my favorite composers because he understood that the melodies of ordinary working folk can reach our deepest spirits. Today I heard a version of his march entitled Folk Songs From Somerset from the Folk Song Suite but it was rendered by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and not the sound he originally intended to be played by a brass band. I was able to find an Italian band on YouTube and, ignoring the shaky camera, I was pleased to hear it as the composer meant it.

The Folk Songs From Somerset weaves together four distinctly different tunes:
1) Blow Away the Morning Dew, played by the solo cornet
2) High Germany, played by the tenor and lower register instruments
3) Whistle, Daughter, Whistle
4) John Barleycorn, played by trombones.

OK, listening to an album from years back, and it has what are IMO two of the finest songs ever written, by anyone.

https://youtu.be/O-YHU6BwPR0

and

https://youtu.be/KIJGlTu5sEI

And although I think they are both great songs, putting them together at the end of AFTP was an inspired choice. A rollercoaster ride of emotion that is very powerful.

In fact Find The River is one of those songs that has an immense emotional impact on me, and I genuinely have no idea why; there is no event in my life that I link to this song. It just burns right through whatever emotional barriers I think I have and, frequently, moves me to tears.

All The Best

Friedrich Kreisler (1875-1962) was born in Vienna, the son of Anna and Samuel Kreisler, a doctor. Of Jewish heritage, he was baptized Catholic at age twelve. Regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing. Here he plays Meditation from Thaïs by Jules Massenet (1842-1912).

Ibrahim Maalouf is a Lebanese jazz trumpet player, he and his Dad can play in quarter notes which is rare and difficult on the trumpet. His music blends rock, jazz/fusion experimental and pop styles, he has a few ambient tunes too.

I share your emotions.
Previously I have bemoaned the loss to Fleetwood Mac of Peter Green back in 1970. A loss tempered somewhat by that being a golden era in rock with very many accomplished artistes and bands ..... however it was not my intention to declare Fleetwood Mac as having degenerated back then ..... they changed and in Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks they found two more talented musicians .... I've just been listening to ....

Ok was in the bank today, doing the weekend banking for work and this came on the in-house radio:




And I could not keep still, it was totally mesmerising - took me back a few year to life of fond memories and good time, with great friends.

I should really go thank the bank (holy shit something good to say about a bank) because it genuinely made my day; had a big smile on my face the rest of the day - think my boss thought I was ill or something.

I'm impressed Skwirk', and a bit surprised.
When I'm in the car with my four year old granddaughter I have to have Classic FM on the radio ...... believe it or not she can identify the composer of several popular pieces, and knows many by the introduction alone. I blame Little Einsteins for this welcomed development in one so young.

Excellent, you must feel incredibly lucky to have such, I am sure she is very sweet.

Me I love loads of stuff, BBC R3 is my station of choice. My favourites tend to be stuff like Bartok, Stravinsky, Chopin, Prokofiev, Debussy and obviously Bach and Beethoven (Lizst deserves a mention too -?dont get me started on the amazing Italians). My other great loves are alt and prog-rock, trad and avant garde jazz, electronica/techno stuff and any cross between all the stuff mentioned. My favourite ever piece/performance is this:



The crowd/orchestra appear to be moved to tears. Remember that Bartok moved to America in the 40s after seeing Hungary torn apart by the conplicit Fascist govt. They say he never recovered and died as an indirect result of his grief at seeing this..

To me the piece has everything; humour, sadness, happiness, insanity, virtuosity, beauty and a kind of innocence and serenity in parts..
