    Is anyone familiar with the American composer Paul Creston? I'm listening to his 3rd Symphony and am quite taken with it.

    NP : Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6


    A wonderful DJ set of everything from Frank Sinatra to modern stuff, mostly jazz and chill out including early chill such as Les Baxter's exotica music. hardly any of it is anything that would get played on popular stations.

    Most enjoyable.

    While the third symphony got its premiere in 1950 the sound is definitely not atonal. He bases the three movement work on Gregorian chant themes and proceeds to expand upon them. His sound, at least on this work, is very accessible.

  7. KEANE - STRANGELAND

    Their latest and as always I love Tom Chaplin's vocal. While not as great as their debut 'Hopes and Fears' this is very nice and easy listening and the catchy tunes make me smile.

    NP: AN AMERICAN PARIS George Gershwin. Got a recording with the Seattle Symphony performing. It is a work that is close to my heart as I've studied and played this piece numerous times and the brass got no holiday so I was active but I can tell you that we certainly didn't sound close to what the Seattle did on this clever, schmalzy, wonderful composition. It shares space with Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite. This has a similar if not better sound to the older Telarc Kunzel recordings. If you want an eye opener this one is it.

    Ron Goodwin makes his eight choices on Desert Island Discs. Interestingly, both Rozsa and Goodwin choose Ravel's DAPHNIS ET CHLOE as one of their castaway pieces but only Goodwin chooses a piece of film music, Rozsa's Love Theme from BEN-HUR cool

    This morning my selection is another classic Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 'Scottish' While it is third in chronological order it was the last symphony he completed in 1842, although he made a visit to Scotland in 1829 and the ideas were formed at that time. His style is more like Mozart than such contemporary composers as Berlioz.

    Love this work, I really do! Oldfield is a natural modern successor to Vaughan Williams.

    I knew you'd say that Tom wink What they both share is music that is often based on traditional British folk melodies.

  23. I was watching a TV documentary on Sky Arts 2, "Here's A Piano I Prepared Earlier". Discussing experimental music of the sixties and seventies, it was quite an eye-opener in terms of the extent to which composers of the time veered away from tonal and melodic music. One of the composers whose work was featured was Cornelius Cardew, a name I had never heard of before.

    But, the inclusion of the Portsmouth Sinfonia in this programme answered a question I have had unanswered for many years. This orchestra's work - an orchestra where the musicians were actually non-musicians, or if they were musicians they had to play instruments they were unfamiliar with - I first became aware of at high school where I remember hearing an LP of theirs played in a music class. Why I remember their work from so long ago will become apparent from the following videos:

    Classic!

    I read that Cornelius Cardew was a friend of Richard Rodney Bennett.
    While I've never heard anything by Cardew before, he likely belongs to the same generation of British composers, like Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies, who were the proponents of modernism in the U.K.

    The likes of Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies did not feature in the documentary, but there were profiles of American composers John Cage, Terry Reilly and Steve Reich, as well as their British counterparts Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman.

    It was interesting to read on the YouTube comments that Nyman and Brian Eno played with the Portsmouth Sinfonia.
