42. "New Day" is the perfect music to accent any transitional moment. It is a fresh, light and airy track that is short, sweet and uplifting. The acoustic guitar, steady drums and synthesizers carry this optimistic track from beginning to end, leaving you with a big smile across your face. Positivity and joy are expressed by this warm and welcoming piece of music. Ideal uses include opening a morning breakfast TV show, daytime television, commercials, a scene change, sting, transition, a logo or ident.

43. "Old Times" is a rich, romantic and nostalgic sounding violin duet that emotes times of reflection and maybe even a little sadness. What starts off as a lone solo violin transitions into a duet playing in dreamy harmony.  While emotional, this short, sentimental and haunting classical instrumental inspired by Schumann, Chopin and Mahler makes the perfect addition to those emotive poignant moments in any media production whether it’s a TV ad, film, Youtube video or classical event.

44. "Ricochet" is a lush, downtempo, electronic instrumental track that has a steady beat and all kinds of interesting, energetic and engaging tones carrying it from beginning to end. It gradually builds to a resolved climax and features synthesizers, percussion, melodic chimes and soaring strings. Everything works in harmony to make this uplifting music reach the soul. It is perfect for advertising body, hair and shower products, scenes depicting underwater corals or swimming fish, ocean documentaries, nature or even the undiscovered universe. This music represents a trip into space or down to the aquatic underwater realm. A magical, floating and fascinating world awaits as the instruments combine to create a bubbling echo effect, that gives the impression of being underwater, whilst accompanied by a soaring, ethereal and melodic string theme.

45. "Up and About" features a happy ukulele melody and hand claps with subtle layers of percussion, glockenspiel, harp and piano.

It is the perfect summer instrumental track for any lighthearted, childlike and optimistic transition, full of bright sounding instrumentation and cheerful harmonies. Perfect background music for any type of presentation, radio, tutorial or advertisement that needs to evoke lightheartedness and pure happiness. It’ll be hard for you to not foot tap and whistle along to this catchy, cheeky and delightful summertime music.

Hollywood influences include Two Steps from Hell, John Williams and Hans Zimmer. It can’t get any more epic than this!

47. "Hunky Funky" is true to its name, with a hip melody and strong rhythmic groove crafted with a wah-wah guitar lick and accented with a carefree downtempo beat. This instrumental pop could be used for a cop show or a biker riding through town and is the ideal soundtrack to express images of being suave, fashionable and cool. Instrumentation includes a steel guitar, electric guitar, strings and drums. The music is both intriguing and trendy, the perfect pair for a funk jam. It’s stylish, warm, contemporary and generic enough to use for a multitude of media productions.

48. "Lemonade" is a fun, weird and wacky music track. This quirky uplifting stinger is a goofy combination of sounds that work in harmony to create something you can only describe as unusual.

ORCHESTRA (As cited on Wikipedia):
An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble that contains sections of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The term orchestra derives from the Greek ορχήστρα, the name for the area in front of an ancient Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew by accretion throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the 20th century.

A smaller-sized orchestra for this time period (of about fifty players or fewer) is called a chamber orchestra. A full-size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these modifiers do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in either the instrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).

A symphony orchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases over a hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary according to the work being played and the size of the venue. A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that. Orchestras can also be found in schools. The term concert orchestra may sometimes be used (e.g., BBC Concert Orchestra; RTÉ Concert Orchestra)—no distinction is made on size of orchestra by use of this term, although their use is generally distinguished as for live concert. As such they are commonly chamber orchestras.

The typical symphony orchestra consists of four proportionate groups of similar musical instruments called the woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, and also the fifth proportionate group of similar musical instruments like the rhythm section in modern times. The orchestra, depending on the size, contains almost all of the standard instruments in each group. In the history of the orchestra, its instrumentation has been expanded over time, often agreed to have been standardized by the classical period and Beethoven's influence on the classical model.

The so-called "standard complement" of double winds and brass in the orchestra from the first half of the 19th century is generally attributed to the forces called for by Ludwig van Beethoven. The exceptions to this are his Symphony No. 4, Violin Concerto, and Piano Concerto No. 4, which each specify a single flute. The composer's instrumentation almost always included paired flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets. Beethoven carefully calculated the expansion of this particular timbral "palette" in Symphonies 3, 5, 6, and 9 for an innovative effect. The third horn in the "Eroica" Symphony arrives to provide not only some harmonic flexibility, but also the effect of "choral" brass in the Trio. Piccolo, contrabassoon, and trombones add to the triumphal finale of his Symphony No. 5. A piccolo and a pair of trombones help deliver storm and sunshine in the Sixth. The Ninth asks for a second pair of horns, for reasons similar to the "Eroica" (four horns has since become standard); Beethoven's use of piccolo, contrabassoon, trombones, and untuned percussion—plus chorus and vocal soloists—in his finale, are his earliest suggestion that the timbral boundaries of "symphony" might be expanded for good. But for several decades after his departure, symphonic instrumentation was faithful to Beethoven's well-established model, with few exceptions.

Apart from the core orchestral complement, various other instruments are called for occasionally. These include the classical guitar, heckelphone, flugelhorn, cornet, harpsichord, and organ. Saxophones, for example, appear in a limited range of 19th and 20th century scores. While appearing only as featured solo instruments in some works, for example Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, the saxophone is included in other works, such as Ravel's Boléro, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2, Vaughan Williams Symphony No.6 and Symphony No.9 and William Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, and many other works as a member of the orchestral ensemble. The euphonium is featured in a few late Romantic and 20th century works, usually playing parts marked "tenor tuba", including Gustav Holst's The Planets, and Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben.

Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks Op.28 - Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949)

Notes by: Jon Brooks

Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks was written in 1894-95. In this tone poem, Strauss uses the pranks of a 15th Century legendary medieval North German rapscallion as a vehicle for mocking the musical conservatives who criticised his radicalism. Its once-upon-a-time introduction is followed by scenes in which Till upsets bourgeois propriety and is hanged for his bad behavior. In the end, his mocking ghost prevails.

‘Till Eulenspiegel’ actually narrates in music several adventures of the medieval troublemaker, right up to his trial and execution. Till Eulenspiegel is the most famous German folk hero, a roving jester whose exploits translated into dozens of languages, and influenced composers such as Richard Strauss, have fascinated and delighted millions for nearly five hundred years.

‘Till’ is written in Rondo form. Not in the classical sense, but rondo-like in that the two ‘Till’ themes keep recurring in a variety of guises, enlivened by shrewd touches of instrumentation. Strauss applies these themes to an endless cascade of variations and arabesques to depict the situation or mood of the character during seven ‘episodes’ e.g. the ‘new pranks’, ‘masquerade’ and ‘flight’. Several secondary themes such as the ‘street song’ are also intertwined within the structure. The overall structure includes prologue and epilogue sections to accommodate the unfolding story.

The prologue is a musical statement of the ‘Once-upon-a-time’ found in fairy-tales as mentioned earlier. Although this is only four bars long, the phrase adopts a form of what is later to be the second of the two principal themes.

‘Till’ is introduced with one of the main themes on horn, characterised by the use of accents, chromatic notes, staccato and a slightly syncopated feel. This brilliantly captures the scampish nature of ‘Till’. Others have also suggested that this primary theme on the horn promotes ‘Tills’ heroism. (Strauss regularly turns to the horns to portray heroism in his music). This theme then characterises itself among several unfolding episodes, the moods of which are varied in several ways, noticeably by orchestration, e.g. the transition from the lyrical string writing of the ‘love’ episode through to the ‘vengeance’ episode with its enlarged theme and extended brass scoring, remarkably rich in the pedal register of the bass trombone. After hearing this motif, we frequently hear ‘Till’s legendary society’ frowning upon him, e.g. when he’s sentenced.

The epilogue takes the second principal theme into a huge coda which employs all the themes whilst summarising the nature of the joker in a warm and witty manner.

The overall melodic scheme features the themes and variations as well as programmatic effects such as the clarinet playing the part of ‘Till’ interjecting briefly between phrases, and the famous high note following ‘Till’s’ execution.

The first performance of Till Eulenspiegel was on 5th November 1895 under the baton of Franz Wullner.

Amnesty International - (As cited on Wikipedia)

"Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty and AI) is a non-governmental organisation focused on human rights with over 3 million members and supporters around the world. The objective of the organisation is "to conduct research and generate action to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights, and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated."

Amnesty International was founded in London in 1961, following the publication of the article "The Forgotten Prisoners" in The Observer 28 May 1961, by the lawyer Peter Benenson. Amnesty draws attention to human rights abuses and campaigns for compliance with international laws and standards. It works to mobilise public opinion to put pressure on governments that let abuse take place. The organisation was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its "campaign against torture", and the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights in 1978.

In the field of international human rights organisations, Amnesty has the longest history and broadest name recognition, and "is believed by many to set standards for the movement as a whole."

LYRICS:

"If you could wish upon a star,
What would it be?
Would you drive the prince's car?
Or take the captain's ship to sea?

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy,

Would you wish for a fish, or your favourite dish?
Eat a lot of meat, or call your best friend Pete?
Stand in a land with a castle made of sand?
Or dance in France with ants in your pants?

Would you sing, would you run?
Would you skip, would you hop?
Would you fly high? OH MY!
These extraordinary things.....
Are sure to please...

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy."
