29 March 2008 - Holbeach Methodist Church Programme Notes Aces High Original title from the film "The Luftwaffe March", but already a march of that name so re-titled it "Aces High". Originally Sir William Walton wrote the music for this film. The producers were not really satisfied with the music and they gave the assignment to Goodwin. Sir William Walton is a kind of an institution and there was a lot of commotion about it. Goodwin's score was accepted by the producers. But they liked Walton's "Battle in the Air" sequence more than Goodwin's and this is used in the film. 2nd Suite in F - Gustav Holst The second suite, written in 1911, features a number of folk melodies.
Smaoinich Journey through America In March 2002 Darrol took up his position as Composer and Arranger in residence to the Royal Guard of Oman and provides music for the bands, big band, pipe and drums and the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra. He is very happy in Oman with his wife Rachael and their 3 cats and continues to compose and arrange lots of music in his spare time. Marching Through Georgia It was widely popular with Union Army veterans after the war. However, General Sherman himself despised the song, in part because it was played at almost every public appearance that he attended. Outside of the Southern United States, it had a universal appeal: Japanese troops sang it as they entered Port Arthur during the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-5, the British sang it in India, and it was popular with the Allies in World War II. Backdraft Backdraft is an American movie released in 1991, Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Robert De Niro and Scott Glenn star. The story is about firefighters in Chicago on the trail of a serial arsonist. The Japanese cooking TV show, Iron Chef, used Backdraft's music (composed by Hans Zimmer). Nessun Dorma Yesterday According to the Guinness Book of Records, "Yesterday" has the most cover versions of any song ever written more than 3000 recorded cover versions. "Yesterday" was voted the best song of the 20th century, in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll of music experts and listeners - despite never being a UK number one single. It was the first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a performance by a single member of the band: Paul McCartney was accompanied solely by a string quartet. Les Champs Elysees Original: French version Is this the way to Amarillo That's the way to Amarillo!! |
