I wouldn’t know. The only comparable difference that I can make is that I’ve seen Danny’s video…

Well, it’s better than

After the second finger

Danny Stephenson — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:36:06 +0000

After the second finger click, I stopped watching. I got away with only a minor scarring…

I can’t unsee that, now.

Fantastic! THIS Is what I

Fantastic! THIS Is what I was expecting when the Red Dwarf Premiere for the suite was at the Manchester Sci-Fi night thing I attended a few years back. I think Im right In saying all they performed was the main themes, not tounge tied, ace rimmer and bloody munchkins! Bloody brilliant.

Superb! This teacher

Superb!

This teacher understands how to enthuse kids - teach them stuff that’s more relevant. My music lessons were always classical music. Don’t get me wrong as a 20 something I understand the history and wonder of some of these pieces but back when I was 14 it would have been more fun to tear apart the music of Verve, Blur, Catatonia or Red Dwarf. Make it interesting to kids and they’ll learn a lot more. It’s also better for the parents who have to come and listen to the recitals.

There’s some great music coming out of Dr Who right now, throw in Red Dwarf & even TV/film scores from the likes of Elfman & Williams and I reckon you could really get more kids into studying music - who knows might liberate us of the knuckle draggers that think music is purely a product of reality TV shows.

Sorry ex-GCSE music pupil & ex primary school teacher rant over.

Cunt bollocks shit fuck.. there, that’s much more G&T.

Ah, that was awesome.

Ah, that was awesome. Brought a huge grin to me face!

Okay, I give up…

The problem would presumably

Seb Patrick — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:49:43 +0000

The problem would presumably be getting the music itself - the score for the Suite was already publicly available but I doubt any more of the Dwarf music would be…

Okay this is just a thought,

Karl — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:54:00 +0000

Okay this is just a thought, and one I’m having late at night and after a couple of pints and a gig, but do you think we could possible tempt Mr Steadman and his orchestra into an learning more Red Dwarf (or just general Sci-fi) arrangements and some kind of night being held where we could pay to come along and hear this kind of thing in person. A sort of Red Dwarf proms if you will.

Woodwinds is correct. And

Blisschick — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:51:33 +0000

Woodwinds is correct. And you’re probably right, the arrangement was most likely written to accommodate instruments that weren’t in the original score.

My son and I were talking about the acoustics of the gym(?) they were playing in. My kids’ school always has their concerts in the gym (for lack of a larger facility), and the sound quality usually is horrible, which doesn’t make for ideal sound recordings. While the sound wasn’t too bad for the video, I imagine they sounded terrific in person.

We recently saw my son play in his university’s band in the music hall. It made me appreciate how much I miss playing myself. :(

A band could do good things

ChrisM — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:40:35 +0000

A band could do good things with that music too. Especially the title song.

In fact I think the string section and reed instruments* in that video sometimes play things originally played by other instruments.

(I don’t intend that as a criticism in this case, by the way. Adapting the music to their musical arrangement and giving all the kids a go at a bit is a good thing.)

*I’m aware that’s not the correct term. Woodwind? I’m talking Oboe’s Clarinets, and Saxophone type instruments.

I loved it! I thought about

Blisschick — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:57:15 +0000

I loved it! I thought about suggesting the music to my daughter’s band director, but then remembered her school doesn’t have an orchestra, only a band. :(
