In Tune Mix Tape

[oddoneout]

According to the EPG on my TV, tonight's Mixtape includes 'Haydn's ticklingly playful Trio in C, a whirling tarantella by Madeleine Dring and a high-kicking version of Brahms's First Hungarian Dance'. I can't wait!

Better get the breakables out of the way...

I'm afraid my whirling and high-kicking days are over, so I don't think I'll be claiming under my house and contents policy!

Katie Derham introduced Arthur Benjamin's "Waltz & Galop" conducted by Bernard Herrmann this evening on 'In Tune' and said that it came from the movie "An Ideal Husband" which, she said, "was based on the Noel Coward play." I've often though that this woman knows nothing about music, nor indeed about plays, because of course "An Ideal Husband" was written by Oscar Wilde.

I think "The March of the Fair Melusine" was one of them (Das Märchen von der schönen Melusine)

Surely not!

Surely not!

Rat that I am, I recorded it! So have just checked

Last time I conducted it the time sig was 6/4. A sort of duple. So you could do a fairy-tip-toe march if you really wanted to.

Then you could call it "Der Marsch der schönen Melusine".

There's a theme of sorts in tonight's Mixtape, which will comprise music of the 1880s.

In Tune Mixtape fan club

Hi,

Tonight is the 1,000th episode of the In Tune Mixtape (excluding any repeats, based upon the data I've been able to collect). I'm a big fan of the Mixtape, it's been a balm especially in the last couple of years, and so I have taken the opportunity to set up a fan club website/archive: https://intunemixtapefanclub.dracos.co.uk/

This includes an archive of all In Tune Mixtape episode listings, letting you search and browse, and if you'd like to join the club and receive a membership card, some badges, and a physical magazine, you'd be very welcome :-) Regardless, the archive is there for all to use and should keep itself up to date as time goes on, I hope others find it useful in their enjoyment of the Mixtape.

ATB,
Matthew

Recorders ! This has to be worth a listen eh

Two recorders take centre stage at the start of tonight's mixtape, in an arrangement of Handel's The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. The third movement of Emily Mayer's seventh symphony is followed by Ja vim from Dvořák's Cyprise for string quartet. Plus music by the English composers Malcom Arnold and William Cornish, and we round off with the guitarist Julian Bream playing Villa-Lobos.
Producer: Kevin Satizabal Carrascal
