Compile your own choice of music for a Promenade Concert

[ahinton]

Most interesting, but my suggestion was to compile a balanced concert PROGRAMME, not a list of works for inclusion.

HS

So Jayne has provided six such rather than just one; do you have a problem with that?

[Pabmusic]

I'll have another go. A chamber orchestra Prom.

J C Bach: Sinfonia in B-flat, Op. 18, No. 2
Walter Leigh: Concertino for Harpsichord & Stings
Parry: Lady Radnor's Suite (full orchestra version)

* * *

Lars-Erik Larsson: Pastoralsvit
Copland: Quiet City
Ives: Symphony No. 3

(encore) Suk: Sousedská

[Roehre]

Perotinus/Leoninus:
Viderunt omnes

Wagemans:
Viderunt omnes

Lovely concert

Thank you. It's a real concert I conducted in 1995. Oh, the heady days...

Ouch! Well Pabs does live in the Philippines.

I encountered that Walter Leigh piece back in 1948. A pupil of Hindemith, I understand.
Didn't he lose his life during the battle for Crete?


Good morning (afternoon) to you, Pabs.

Bravo Pabs! - deserving of a pint of Red Kite

[Pabmusic]

Ah - I should have included The Wasps. (And yes, it's afternoon - tea-time actually.)

Walter Leigh was a victim of a 'friendly fire' incident when the RAF attacked a British tank column near Tobruk in 1942.

Now I've never tried that. I understand it's rare. Maybe it's been reintroduced in the North-East.

[Barbirollians]

I think Suffolk Coastal should be appointed Proms controller forthwith !

An interesting theme might be
" to suit the RAH acoustics".

Good luck with that one.

I'm stuck !!

[HighlandDougie]

Theme: Scottish independence referendum - Nein!

Robert Simpson - Symphony #9

Interval

Anton Bruckner - Symphony #9

Now what if it was IndyRef - Ja! Hmm.... an evening of Jimmy Shand, Andy Stewart and the inevitable Proclaimers no doubt, with "Variations on Flower of Scotland", replacing the usual Parry and Arne on the last night (a truly dreadful song IMV).

Seriously, though, what a great thread. I feel a buying spree of works I don't know coming on so that the proposed programmes may be my listening choices for the next wee while.

Ah, good plan.

Yours is on my " must see " list anyway though.

Still kicking myself for missing the Schnittke At the RFH . Doh !!
