A year on fromthe start of the Egyptian revolution, singer, musicologistand broadcaster Reem Kelani, who witnessed the protestsin Tahrir Square first hand last January will perform aconcert of music by Egyptian composer Sayyid Darwish.

This year marks 450 years since the death ofgiovanni gabrieli. Both gabrieli andMonteverdi fall in the transitional periodbetween the Renaissance and the Baroque,and the music performed is big, colourful,dramatic and composed for multiple choirsand instrumentalists. Palestrina was one of themost acclaimed composers of the 16thcentury and nicknamed the “saviour of churchmusic” – The exquisite Missa Papae Marcelliwas a response to the Catholic authorities whowere increasingly concerned with thecomplexity and unintelligibility of sacredmusic. Allegri’s Miserere is one of the finestexamples of Renaissance polyphony and wasconsidered so sacred it was once forbidden toperform it outside of the Sistine Chapel. Theconcert also features contemporary brassmusic inspired by themes from Renaissancecomposers.

Dubbed “easily the classiest brass ensemble inBritain” by BBC Music magazine, Onyx Brasshas performed at festivals all over Europe andthe USA to huge critical acclaim. The groupwas founded in 1993 to be a serious yetapproachable brass chamber ensemble andsince then it has been at the pinnacle of theinternational brass chamber music world. Thequintet performs regularly on BBC Radios 2and 3, has made three commercial recordingsand has worked extensively with choirsincluding the BBC Singers.

Sound in Silence Beethoven + Hearing Impairment (Part of a series exploring Music, Disability and Health and Wellbeing)

Beethoven’s hearing impairment is well documented and was aslow process occupying over twenty years from its start to hiseventual total deafness. At the age of 23 Beethoven lost the abilityto hear high pitched sounds. By the age of 51 he was totally deafin terms of speech comprehension and social functioning. Inthese years he finished the Missa Solemnis, the Ninth Symphonyas well as a final set of string quartets and piano sonatas – allconsidered some of his finest works.

Maurice Ravel developedprogressive neurological symptomsover the later years of his life. By theage of 52 Ravel was said to be “lostbefore his music” and made unusual“blunders in writing, irregular linesand erasures”. After a car accidentfive years later his symptomsworsened and by the age of 59 hewas unable to write his own nameand lost the capacity to play thepiano. Despite this his auditoryperception was well preserved – henoted that a piano was out of tuneand was able to reproduce notes onit, could identify his owncompositions and was also able toidentify deliberate rhythmic andmelodic mistakes in performances.Ravel ceased composing – his ownwords summarise the situation:“yet I still had so much music in my head.”

Robert Schumann had a life-long history of medical problemswhich influenced his life and music in many ways. Throughouthis life he had episodic periods of depression whichsignificantly reduced his compositional output. At the age of34 he had a complete nervous breakdown and refused tolisten to any of his music. Ten years later he tried to commitsuicide by jumping in the Rhine. He was admitted into anasylum and died two years later. Schumann created twocontrasting personas – Florestan (spontaneous) and Eusebius(introverted), and these characters repeatedly occur in hiscompositions. This combined with obsessive repeatedrhythms, fleeting phrases, abrupt transitions and radical useof harmony, reflects a musical mind beset with bipolardisorder researchers have argued – yet capable of writingsome of the finest and original music of the Romantic period.

18:45 Pre-concert Talk: Stephen Johnson (BBC Radio 3)

Music journalist and BBC Radio 3 presenter Stephen Johnsonlike Schumann has suffered from bipolar disorder. Stephenwill discuss the music performed by the Trio and presentother examples about the way he hears Schumann’s manicphases in his music, in addition to sharing his ownexperiences of the disorder.

Reem Kelani is a Palestian singer,musicologist and broadcaster, bornin the UK and brought up in Kuwait.On 25 January 2011 she was presentin Tahrir square, where shewitnessed firsthand the tenthousand protestors gathering tooppose President Muburak’s regime.Kelani has consequently beencommissioned by BBC Radio 4 towrite and present a documentaryabout the music of the EgyptianRevolution.

Kelani presents a concert of musicby the Egyptian composer SayyidDarwish. Considered by many to bethe father of contemporary Arabicmusic, Darwish is little knownoutside the Arab world and under-appreciated in some musicalestablishments within it. He was thecomposer of the Egyptian nationalanthem in its modern Arabic form,and composed anthems thatsymbolised the 1919 EgyptianRevolution; music which inspiredresistance against British colonialrule. Most recently Darwish’s musichas dominated the protests in Tahrirsquare and elsewhere in Egypt. Hismusic has provided a backdrop tothe most important events inmodern Egyptian history.

The Hunchbackof Notre Dame (1923)

Journalist and man-about-townMarcello has set aside his literaryambitions to become a gossipcolumnist, who spends his daysgoing to parties and sleeping withsocialites in order to get hissensationalist stories.

Federico Fellini’s groundbreakingfilm was hailed by critics around theworld but condemned by the Vaticanfor its treatment of sexual themes,and its alleged blasphemy. La DolceVita is masterfully constructed andmarks the transition betweenFellini’s neo-realist and his later artfilms. Featuring a score by Nino Rota,this fascinating, stimulating andprovocative film put Italian cinemaon the map, in a time where thecountry was emerging from fascism,World War II and post war poverty.

Please note that Firth Hall will beused as an alternative venue ifweather conditions prevent thisfrom taking place outside.

La Dolce Vita

Fritz Lang's 1927 futuristic masterpieceis widely considered one of the mostinfluential silent films of all time andthe first ever blockbuster of the sci-figenre.

It is the year 2000 and the prosperouscity of Metropolis is flourishing,towering high above the ground with itsbusy suspended streets. The cityhowever holds a secret: the gapbetween the rich and poor is wide. The rich enjoy a care free life on the topfloors unaware of the poor who slaveaway down below, working in order tokeep the above world functioning.Freder Frederson (son of the city’sfounder) meets Maria – a woman whogives hope to the city of workers byprophesying change and a better life forthem. When Freder’s father hears oftheir meeting he enlists the aid of aninventor to devise a devious plan tothwart the inevitable uprising.

Fritz Lang’s masterpiece is incrediblypoignant in today’s society and isbrought to life with the originalsensational score by gottfriedHuppertz, performed by a chamberorchestra of Sheffield UniversityStudents.
