  • At the Last Night of the 2004 Proms, Leonard Slatkin, then in his final year as the BBC Symphony's Principal Conductor, introduced this rousing Sousa march. He explained to the audience that 'The Liberty Bell' itself it had been made in London in the 1750s but had developed a large crack shortly after its arrival in Philadelphia. Despite many attempts over the years, the fissure in the bell has never been fully repaired. We pick things up at the point when Slatkin brings in a gag about 'The Monty Python Show,' a British television comedy programme that used Sousa's march as its signature tune. As will be seen, Slatkin clearly enjoyed conducting the 6000-strong Albert Hall audience as they clapped along with the music.

    I've got to say as a Yank, who is fond of the proms. A-Slatkin gets it exactly correct. Sousa conducted with his back to the band B - Some say too fast for a march, I say WAAAY too many cellos, Double Bass Violas and or etc...for a Sousa Marching band. But if you go by the audience ---- it was quite successful. By Greg Brown Bracket Mr. Bracket, that was my theory.

      The annual season of Proms Concerts lasts about three months during the summer with concerts that are played every night in London's Royal Albert Hall. It holds over 5,000 people and it is all very informal. The audience in front of the platform stands during the whole concert. Every type of music is played, including complete operas, symphonies, concertos, as well as Broadway musicals, film music, rock music and jazz. These programmes are usually listened to with great seriousness.
      However, the Last Night of the Proms is always one in which everyone has great fun, though some critics think the rowdiness and exhibitionism often goes too far. You say that you like ballet music, so here is the same conductor, Leonard Slatkin, with music from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" at a regular Proms concert, not the Last Night, given in 2003 ... th-cam.com/video/q2SXCW2sgCE/w-d-xo.html

    I love this march, but I agree, it's being played too fast here, complicated by the fact that the clapping audience is causing the musicians to rush even more. This is clearly the reason why the conductor indicated to the audience to stop clapping, because the orchestra is getting away from him.

    • @adam28xx
      @adam28xx  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The conductor's indications to the audience had nothing to do with the musicians rushing at all. He was merely indicating to the audience when they should clap and when they should not, thus leaving the orchestra to play on its own for a few moments. In any case, the orchestra played in the same tempo throughout, with no sign of "rushing" at any point in their performance. Audience participation like this has taken place at the Last Night of the Proms for decades and the BBC Symphony has always been well used to it.

      It happens to have been a tradition at the Last Night of the Proms each year, for decades in fact, that there is what is called "audience participation." The British know of this tradition full well, but clearly it is not known to people outside the UK. There are several Last Nights of the Proms here on TH-cam so you can check them out for yourself. However, it is also true that many people object to all that exhibitionism, such as in the traditional Sailor's Hornpipe which is played every year and is also drowned out by the clapping ... th-cam.com/video/9cZyNtZtSqE/w-d-xo.html

A lot of people agree with you and think it's gone too far but this year, at any rate, it won't be happening.
