Programme 16 description: about Music: The Art of Listening: Structure in Music Part 1 – Song
Today’s programme is a repeat of the music of last week, by request.
But! Also included by request is a much expanded commentary on the composers’ intentions and how these are expressed in the songs.
I compare four songs frequently sung in church and compare how they are perceived by the congregation.
We hear two songs from 1540 and 1975 and find out in which way these two are remarkably similar. John Newton: Amazing Grace (December 1772) Sung by Judy Collins with an unnamed choir · Josquin Desprez: “Absalon, fili mi” (1540) Sung by the Hilliard Ensemble, conducted by Paul Hillier · Leonard Cohen: “Halleluia” Sung by k.d. lang and an unnamed ensemble · Franz Schubert: · Judy Collins: Since You’ve Asked Performed by Judy Collins on her album “Voices · Paul McCartney: Eleanor Rigby in arrangement by Cody Fry Performed by an unnamed orchestra, produced by Cody Fry · William Henry Monk: “All things bright and beautiful” Performed by St. Michael’s Singers · Allan Menkin: “A Whole New World” from the Walt Disney film “Aladdin” Performed by Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott and an unnamed orchestra · Joni Mitchell: “Both Sides Now” Sung by Emilia Jones with an unnamed ensemble · Freddie Mercury: Bohemian Rhapsody Performed by Queen
