"Ten Pieces"

[doversoul1]

It wasn't a criticism - just saying young people might confuse it with 'classical music' because there's an orchestra with Nicola Benedetti ...

Please, Miss, is this not classical music then?

I thought it was made to raise money for Children in Need?

I feel guilty now

Is this why some people were discussing the Beach Boys somewhere else here? Didn't follow, and am probably coming shamefully late to this particular party...

I thought they'd been trailing it on Radio 3. I heard something somewhere about something being played right across the BBC at 8pm one evening and had assumed this was it.

I think I prefer this to be an all-BBC thing, rather than being Radio 3 doing its Baroque Bieber or whatever it was last time with One Direction (the Boys v Girls one?). But that's because, being suspicious, I thought they were just as much to attract attention to Radio 3 as for Children In Need.

They'll probably make more if they demand a fiver from everyone "or we'll play it again!"

If it gets people to listen to any music inc classical, so much the better.

Do you mean the God Only Knows arrangement or the "Ten Pieces" project. If the former, I doubt this very much if the experience of Perfect Day is repeated. (I was having my hair cut - it was that long ago! - when the track was announced on the shop radio: the entire clientele in an unprompted mass groaned!)

It might have been a coincidence and in fact they'd just caught sight of yer barnet....

that is the whole point, isn't it?

Incidentally, I think a sponsored DSCH all day string quartet-a- thon from the famed Atrium Quartet would raise lots of money.

Well I would chip in , at any rate !

"I just accompanied my daughter and a Year 4 school group to see the Ten Pieces film. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy it; Beethoven's 5th and the 'Star Wars' music as one of the kids described it (aka Holst's Mars) seemed to be the big hits!"

No, not me, someone else ... At least they did manage to detach the music from all the other things that were going on.

.

And there I was, thinking Mars was from "Gladiator".

According to an article* in today's Graun it was on Radio 3, but slightly later than most of the other channels.

Although I'd never heard of a lot of the megastars, I HAD heard of Brian Wilson. But I mistook him for Paul McCartney

[MrGongGong]

Is this what we, who value classical (serious, art, call it what you like) music, want to hear from children?

Sounds fine to me
"we, who value classical music" don't own it.

To me that sounds like the kind of comment that you REALLY would get from a primary school child.

I've just received a circular e-mail asking for ideas for ways out music service can support the project. My instant response was that we should make it possible for the children to hear the music played live.

I'm not sure if this IS part of this project
but (as i'm sure you know) there are plenty of projects that do this

When I looked at the ensembles and organisations that were in support I was most encouraged.

As PART of what happens this seems to have much to recommend.

Thanks FF, yes that's the one. If it's any consolation I did not recognise Brian Wilson and had not heard of him. I did wonder why he seemed to be featured for longer than the other "megastars" though!

Really? And who has decided that?

Meaning, I'm not sure if going to a live performance is part of this project.

Thinking about this a bit more
If we herded ALL primary school age children into football stadiums (stadia ?) it would be much easier to apply the secret "marking scheme" wouldn't it ? Though there would need to be some kind of "Mark" applied to each one (in the manner of what farmers do when then dip sheep) to indicate which had been "graded".
