I can't analyse it, but I'm pretty sure that it features in Messiaen's unpublished masterpiece, Catalogue des ours.Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostCan anyone analyse the chord...?

It's certainly not in Haydn Symphony 82, and probably not in Mussorgsky's Night on a Bear Mountain either.

From today's Guardian / Observer ... "YouTube’s UK boss has said his platform is more representative of modern Britain than broadcasters such as the BBC, saying that television channels are falling behind because they do not provide material that speaks directly to all parts of the country." ...
I rather like all the videos of animals reacting to music, such as this one with a gaggle of cows lining up to listen to an accordionist at the side of the field ... You won't see this sort of thing on the BBC ...

It's nearly 40 years since Bernstein conducted the "Enigma Variations" at the RFH. I wonder how many concert-goers today, still around and well struck in years, remember his take on "Nimrod"? ... Anyway, here's a reminder of what the audience heard and saw of Lenny on that occasion ... ;) ...

I wonder if anyone is still around who, in their youth, attended the 'Carmina Burana' Prom in 1974? ... If so, they'd have witnessed poor Thomas Allen being overcome by the hot August evening and the TV lights and fainting into the cello section. Luckily there was a student baritone among the Prommers who knew the part, so he went on-stage and took over the solo part to tremendous acclaim ...

Before my Promming time. But.... it was televised live (of course: on YT now, so....) and I was watching.Originally posted by seabright View Post
I also sang in the chorus of what I'm fairly sure was Thomas Allen's last London performance - a DOG (Dream of Gerontius*) in the Drome (*Westminster Cathedral) in November 2019. I think his penultimate performance -all I could trace thereafter was a Faure Requiem with a choir in Co Durham (North east for sure if not there).
Also incidentally a friend of mine attended a series of local (music club style concerts) in Suffolk in which (per my contact) the moving organisational spirit was the student who had stepped in (not in these later times a professional singer).
