A fascinating journey through the evolution of the traditional pipe organ through to the digital age. Includes four full-length programs: Medieval Organs, Baroque Organs, 19th Century and Contemporary. This serious, informative and highly amusing insight into the world of the organ endeavors to explain why, for some people, this bold, colorful and beautiful instrument has an irresistible power! In the ancient world, it played a part in public spectacle, used by the Romans at gladiatorial contests perhaps the only thing heard above the baying crowds! It evolved through medieval and Baroque times when Martin Luther, allegedly complaining that the devil had all the best tunes, converted popular folk melodies into hymns, and ultimately the Lutheran hymn book was produced, a sort of melodic greatest hits of the day. It is hard to overstate the influence on the organ of JS Bach, whose music is the finest ever written for the instrument, giving it a distinctive, living voice. Moving to modern times, we look at how the Wurlitzer and Hammond B3 have brought organ music to new audiences and new generations. Goodalls fascinating journey takes him to gems of the organ world in Spain, France, Germany, Holland and onto the USA, a journey that takes him to churches, cathedrals, castles and parks, West Point Military Academy and on to one of the wonders of the musical world, in a Philadelphia department store! Ultimately Goodall examines the future of the traditional pipe organ in the .... + Informações

"In this series I'm going to look at five of the great breakthroughs that European music has experienced in its extraordinary history; five momentous discoveries. I also want to show what they mean to us today, at a time when so-called classical music is being absorbed into a much bigger mainstream and when its 1000-year reign seems to be coming to a close." HOWARD GOODALL With intriguing anecdotes and witty humour, composer Howard Goodall presents five innovations in European musical history, which have overwhelmingly changed its course: NOTATION: the journey from plain chant in medieval times to symphonic works and improvisation EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (a universal tuning, scale and key system): from the discoveries of Pythagoras to JS Bach OPERA: where music interfaces with real life with love, death and politics THE PIANO: this versatile instrument is unique to European culture. RECORDED SOUND: from Caruso to world music and sampling "It's fascinating stuff, brilliantly presented." - The Australian "This is the very best thing on television. It is utterly brilliant." - The Sunday Times An exceptionally fine example of fascinating music history presented by an engaging host with a disarming sense of humor (who is also skilled at making difficult technical concepts accessible), Howard Goodalls Big Bangs is highly recommended. - Video Librarian Written and Presented by Howard Goodall Please visit www.kultur.com for more information on this program. + Informações

In the late middle ages western harmony started on a journey that would take it in a completely separate direction to that of the music of other parts of the world. It discovered chords, and, over the next seven centuries, began to unlock their harmonic possibilities. In this film Howard looks at how western harmony works, and how, in the present day, it has fused with other forms of music to create new styles. Chords led to chord progressions, and Howard looks at how familiar patterns of chord progressions give all kinds of music - from classical to popular - their sense of forward movement. Why do the same chord patterns appear again and again, from Renaissance Italy to the latest chart hit? Musicians have always liked to tamper with the basic chords, and experiment with dissonance. We see how these tricks of the trade actually work, and the emotional and musical effect they have. From the folk musicians of the middle ages to Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner, from Chuck Berry to David Bowie, Hendrix to Coldplay, the same harmonic techniques surface again and again.

Multitrack performance of this modern classic, performed by David W Solomons. Howard Goodall was at the same college as me (Christ Church Oxford) but a few years later than me, so I never met him, but I have always admired his compositions (especially Red Dwarf, Black Adder and The Vicar of Dibley). This is by way of an "hommage" from one (rather less well-known) composer to another. The photos are by a good friend of mine currently based in Leeds, Reinhold Behringer. + Informações

From the moment our hearts start beating, rhythm is integral to us all. From walking to dancing, from clicking our fingers to tapping our toes, we are all programmed to respond to rhythm. In this film Howard looks at the common rhythmic patterns that have been used by musicians from all cultures, from Brahms to rappers, from the founders of Cuban son to Philip Glass, from Stevie Wonder to Fats Waller. Why do some rhythms make us want to dance, while others make us feel tranquil? How does rhythm 'work' when there is no obvious pulse, as in much classical music? What links African drumming to JS Bach? Why do virtually all popular singers sing ahead of the beat? And how is it that a tiny Caribbean island has produced a rhythm that dominates popular music the world over?

Music is usually broken down into melody, rhythm and harmony. But what about the very lowest notes in music, that can have an impact on all three? In this film Howard looks at the abiding fascination musicians and composers have had with the bass. For half a millennium instrument makers have been trying to construct instruments of all shapes and sizes capable of thudding, sonorous low notes. Only with the arrival of the synthesizer did they succeed in producing a rival to the mighty organ. With disco, dance, and drum 'n' bass, the bass has arrived centre stage. But bass notes have another, crucial role. Far from just plodding away in the background, bass lines can have a critical effect on the whole structure of a piece of music, helping to drive the chord progressions. Howard looks at the dark horse of the musical family, and its use in the hands of such diverse musical talents as Johann (and Richard) Strauss, John Philip Sousa, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Albinoni, Bach and Motown's resident bass maestro, James Jamerson.

HOWARD GOODALLS: CHOIR WORKS Driven by the infectious enthusiasm of zany writer and presenter Howard Goodall, we travel to locations around the world to focus on people, their lives, individual traditions, customs and histories. The four programs set out to show how singing in groups is fundamental to the way communities express themselves. From the joyous sounds of South Africa, thro Nashville, USA, and Bulgaria, to the traditional cathedral choirs of England, the series gives a refreshing overview of some of the vastly different choral traditions of the world today. CHOIRS PERFORM This performance special showcases seven of the worlds leading choirs and their contrasting choral traditions. The rich and haunting harmonies of South African Iscathimiya a call and response style are performed here by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Christ Church Cathedral Choir in Oxford and Salisbury Cathedral Girls Choir, both stalwarts of English church music, perform works by Byrd, Stanford and Bruckner. The keening, yearning tone of Bulgarias throaty Cosmic Voices is contrasted with the joyous and heartfelt gospel of Just Us and The Temple Church Choirs in Nashville, and the clarity and purity of The Academic Female Choir of Tartu Universitys nationalistic folk songs in Estonia. The variety in each choirs repertory is complemented by their striking costumes.
