The Schools Prom is organised in conjunction with Westland Associates.

Introduction Schools Prom was a signal success; this year we look forward to two outstanding concerts. To those taking part, the opportunity of performing in one of the world's greatest concert halls is an exciting and well-deserved bonus after distinguishing themselves in the National Festival of Music for Youth.* But the significance of the occasion goes further than that.

The Schools Prom is unmistakable evidence of a new, higher level of musical aspiration for education in general.

All credit is due to the teachers, students, parents and local authority supporters whose work and enthusiasm have contributed to this evening's achie\'ements. Their success is the more remarkable when considered against the background of present difficulties. :\Iusic is still officially unden'alued and yet, against the odds, it continues to thriye .

L

AST YEAR'S

The value that education attaches to music is one indication of our attachment as a community to truly civilised ideals , School is not just a training ground for industry and citizenship : it is also - or should be - a proving ground for those finer senses upon \\'hich the art of living ultimately depends,

In sponsoring the Schools Prom The Times Educational Supplement belieYes, along with all those whose efforts ha\'e led to this evening's concert, that the health of music at the local level is important for the "'ell-being of the country as a whole and that people who do anything \\'orth\\'hile, superlatively \\ ell. desen'e all the backing they can get. /1

The Schools Prom

by Humphrey Metzgen

1975 a capacity audience greeted the first Schools Prom and its 400 young performers, among them some of the youngest players ever to appear at the Royal Albert Hall, with rapturous applause in an evening of intense participation by audience and performers alike. From the outset of the concert, with the powerful and majestic fanfare of Gordon Jacob's 'Music for a Festival', through to the rousing massed finale by 150 musicians (an Albert Hall record), there was something to thrill and please everyone. It all began on a high note of anticipation and finished with tumultuous applause; and in between there were moments of sensitivity and sheer excellence that had the audience spellbound.

The newspapers, too, were very pleasant about it all, and the result is our arrival now at the second Schools Prom and the presentation of two, mostly different, concerts in 1976. Some observers are already looking to the time when a whole season of Schools Proms takes place at this, the home of the Proms.

As an event, the Schools Prom is unique, reflecting as it does all that is best in youth music, from many fields, with the musicians demonstrating an adventurous, almost swashbuckling, attitude to repertoire and presentation. Gone are all the 'safe' pieces of music so popular with the seasoned music competitor. Gone also are the traditional presentations of just one orchestra's work.

It is this freshness of approach to repertoire presentation and performance that makes the difference between the deeply-felt emotional experience of a Schools Prom and the more formal appreciation of professional skills.

To listen to these young players is to hear music anew, as if one were sitting in on an original performance - a revelation, in fact, of the spontaneous transcending the skilful.

The Schools Prom has its beginning early on in the year during the regional 'primaries' of the National Festival of Music for Youth.

These 'primaries' consist of at least twenty or so events where a number of schools and music groups in neighbouring areas play before a national adjudication panel member, who in turn makes recommendations for 'inclusion' in the national event.

I t is at the grand finale of the National Festival, however, that the scene is set for the selection of those groups who will appear at the Royal Albert Hall later in the year. For three days at Fairfield Halls in Croydon this year, a distinguished panel of musicians were listening to the works of some 2,000 young performers in order to select those groups they felt had played most outstandingly. It is from these groups that the Schools Prom participants tonight have been selected.

The Prom is not simply a task of putting together all the best performances. An artistically

Humphrey Metzgen

satisfying (and stage-manageable) programme for the Royal Albert Hall needs to be built up from the resources available. The wrong combination either in music or numbers of performers could lead to chaos. All these considerations and more are eventually resolved, and invitations are sent out to the Schools Prom performers.

Since the National Festival of Music for Youth was launched by its presenters, the Association of Musical Instrument Industries, who were joined by TES as sponsors three years ago, it has become a major event in Britain's concert calendar. In effect, it is a showcase for the most advanced thinking in British schools music, and is a credit to the teaching which is often carried out under difficult circumstances. Too often, music fills a relatively unimportant place in the school curriculum, and many young people never reach their full musical potential. The Gulbenkian Foundation has recently set up a committee under Lord Vaizey to find out how musical training has progressed in the past decade.

There are, of course, many schools that foster the talents of young

musicians - but sadly not nearly enough. Hence our particular interest in fostering and encouraging the efforts of young musicians in their pursuit of musical excellence.

This year we are particularly pleased also to discover that many of the country's leading organisations share this view and have joined us in their role as 'Friends of the Schools Prom'. Like ourselves, they believe that to stimulate excellence in musical education is one of the essentials in the wellbeing of our nation.

Together with those of our many friends at the Department of Education and Science, Directors of

Education, headmasters, music teachers, parents and, of course, the young musicians themselves we look forward not only to tonight's concert, but also to many fruitful opportunities that might present themselves in the future. The scope for expansion of the event is enormous - perhaps widening even further the instrumental scope to allow performance of piano recitals, concertos and choral works.

International involvement may also be possible in the future with visits of groups from abroad, and by arranging for Schools Prom participants to play in other countries.

All this, however, is perhaps to come. Tonight, we welcome you to an evening of music at the 1976 Schools Prom.

The Executive Producer and the Organiser wish to thank the following for their contribution towards this year's Schools Prom: Nlrs Naney Wolf-Papadopoullos, Alex Hackett, Jill Robinson and all the staff of the TES newspaper; Childs-Greene Advertising and Public Relations Ltd; the National Festival of Music for Youth adjudication committee and Westland Associates.

The Music of the Schools Prom

by Derek Jewell

AST YEAR'S premiere was an experiment - to see if it were possible to create a satisfying and coherent evening's entertainment out of the dazzling variety of music now being created in schools of every kind up and down the country.

It worked out somehow, or so the audience seemed to think, even though the evening was perhaps on the long side and presented nightmares for the stage crew.

So this year the experiment is developed. Two evening concerts instead of one, to give all those who couldn't get in to listen last year their chance; and to give an opportunity of playing for even more musical groups than were at the Albert Hall in 1975.

The sheer variety of the music has also been expanded. The 1975 Prom was already eclectic, with symphony and string orchestras,

L

a concert band and ensembles featuring recorders, accordions and steel drums. This year there are all of these again (except for the accordions) and to them have been added some magnificent brass and wind bands, percussion ensembles, and the most delicious sounds of medieval instruments.

Even more interesting is the choice of composers. Debussy, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Wagner, Elgar, Leonard Bernstein, Malcolm Arnold and John Dankworth were among those represented in 1975. In this year's concerts, you will find Elgar, Dvorak, Grieg, Bernstein, Arnold and other familiar names, but the moderns are even more strikingly represented.

Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud and David Bedford are included in the composers these adventurous young musicians will interpret - with Bedford a particularly fascinating case, since he works in the field of 'avant-garde conservatoire' music, yet has also played with a rock band and has orchestrated the compositions of

Mike Oldfield (,Tubular Bells'), Roy Harper and others. This year, too, don't be surprised to hear the strains of Michel Legrand and the Beach Boys.

Such an all-round approach to music is part, at least, of what the Schools Prom is about. The barriers between styles have been coming down for many years. There are fewer divisions than ever there were between so-called 'serious' and 'popular' music: there only, indeed, ought to be one di\路ision - between what's good and w hat's not good, whate\路er its stde.

So the"e concerts are catholic, looking back\,路ards many centuries to some of the oldest of this nation's mu,ic, vi,iring rhe \路ast treasurehouse of the European classical heritage, sampling the popular sounds of the .\fro-American (and Caribbean I tradition, and taking a 1'0[\' ard glance with today's experiments.

The intention is to show just how flourishing is the present musical environment of many schools: to encourage even more of those involved in education - both teachers and pupils - to contribute to that flowering; and, for you, our audience, to provide an entertainment you will recall with pleasure.

PROGRAMME NOTES

1Mlliam Rhodes School Brass Band -

Chesterfield

Conductor,' David Windle W.R.B. Ernest Woodhouse Ceramic City Festival Stuart Johnson

Band was formed in 1968 under the direction of David Windle - two years ago the school accepted its first comprehensive co-educational intake, and as a result there are now nine girls playing regularly in the Band.

The Band has performed on radio and television and in May this year was chosen to be one of four bands to play in the Central Hall, Westminster, at the National Schools' Brass Band Festival.

In 1973 and 1975 the Band visited Chesterfield's twin-town of Darmstadt and performed several concerts in the German state of Hesse. Two LP records have been produced during the last three years, the second of which has already sold two thousand copies.

LMWOOD Junior School is a large five-form entry school in West Croydon, which offers varied musical opportunities to its pupils whose ages range from 7 to 11 years. The first Steel Band was formed in 1971 under the tutorship of Russell Henderson, who still visits the school twice a week and does all musical arrangements.

Each July the Band loses its II-year-old players and a new group is formed in September - the children playing this evening have therefore been playing as a group for only three months.

The Band has appeared on television several times, has been heard on radio and has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall and Fairfield / " Halls. In both 1974 and 1975 they gained an award for outstanding performance at the ,.

Doncaster Schools Jazz Orchestra COTlductor,' John Ellis Morocco Bound Just for George

John Dankworth arr. Kenny Wheeler Barry Forgie

Doncaster Schools Jazz Orchestra was formed in September 1975, when it became apparent that many young musicians in the Doncaster area had a desire to experiment and become involved with modern and jazz orchestral music. It is partly due to the foresight and understanding of the teachers/conductors/advisers in the area that the Jazz Orchestra makes its Royal Albert Hall debut this evening.

The aim is to encourage a broader musical outlook in the hope that the musical snobbery of 'yesterday' will disappear and make way for a capable generation of musicians with the facility to perform and enjoy a wider range of musical activity. They also feel that a professional attitude and self-discipline on and off stage are essential if they are to dispel the myth of Jazz being the 'dirty sister of music'.

Morocco Bound (John Dankworth) - This is a bossa-nova trombone feature. The original version by John Dankworth was conceived with a smaller combination in mind (a 14-piece band). Kenny Wheeler has rearranged the piece to utilise the full instrumentation of the modern jazz orchestra, and introduced new lines of interest, particularly in the

..oil

brass section. The trombone soloist is 15-year-old Peter Beachill.

Just for George (Barry Forgie) - This piece was originally composed for drummer George J effries for an international competition held in Vienna in May 1966. It features 16-year-old Phil WarreIl on drums and 14-year-old J onty Stockdale on tenor saxophone, who has been playing for only 18 months!

A brief history of theJaDles Galway Flute James Galway needs no introduction.

Quite simply he is recognised as one ofthe world's outstanding flautists.

He is best known as a virtuoso performer. But James Galway also has another career. He is a teacher.

His summer schools for young musicians are renowned, and attract students from all over the world.

His care and patience have won him a reputation for bringing out the best in those who have come to learn from him.

It is James Galway's beliefthat before the latent talents in the young performer can be fully developed he has to have an instrument that completely reflects his true ability.

It is for this reason that James Galway has collaborated with RoseMorris in a project to produce a new range of flutes. Collectively they will be known quite simply as the James Galway flutes.

They are being created to serve the talented flautist for the whole of a full career.

They are naturally designed to a very high standard.

The first one available is the James Galway Artist Flute.

If you would like more details ofthis fine instrument please write to:Rose-Morris & Co Ltd., 32 Gordon House Road, London NW5 INE.

Darius Milhaud. The title refers to a sunny, windless place in the town of Aix-en-Provence (the birthplace of the composer), where King Rene de Provence held sway in the 15th century at one of the most famous 'cours d'amour'.

The second of the pieces being played, 'La Maousinglade', is the name of a small village near Aix-enProvence where the composer lived; and 'La Valabre', in the fourth piece, is a little castle where King Rene held his hunting parties.

VUJking County Grammar School }or Girls String Orchestra Symphony No. 1 in B flat William Boyce (1710-1779)

HE Woking County School for Girls is in its last year as a Grammar School. In July 1977 it will close and will reopen in September as a mixed comprehensive school.

Although there are under 800 pupils, there is enough enthusiasm for the school to run a full orchestra, senior and junior string orchestras and a wind band. There are also two large choirs and a madrigal group. The String Orchestra performing this evening is coached by Miss Pamela Spofforth, who is one of the directors of Pro Corda, the National Association for Young String Players. The school holds regular concerts at the end of every

Y

term, and has taken part in several festivals, including the Windsor Festival and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.

The English composer William Boyce lived in the years shortly after the death of Henry Purcell. " This was the period of the early development of the symphony, when composers like Carl Philip

Emmanuel Bach and his contemporaries in Italy, Germany and Austria were laying the foundations of the great classical form. The symphonies of Boyce are among the earliest examples of this form in England. His Symphony No. 1 in B flat has three movements - the 1st and 3rd are quick and lively, and are separated by a beautiful Adagio as the 2nd movement.

A comprehensive range of inexpensive instruments designed for the student Because they must be accurate, durable and musicianly, instruments to start students on the right road cannot be cheap. Good materials, excellent workmanship, proper testing ... these all take money. But frills can be eliminated without reducing pride of possession and this Rosetti have done.

The result is a wide range of good instruments offering sound value for money and full satisfaction for both student and teacher.

CORTON Brass & Woodwind Very skilfully made, for the most part in Czechoslovakia where craftsmanship has not yet priced itself out of the normal market, Corton can well support its vintage name.

Nor does it lag behind in the latest developments: the new Cortonite Oboe, for instance, demonstrates both modern mastery of the new materials and of established systems.

From bassoon to piccolo, including saxophones and the big brass, Corton provides a complete service, at prices that can still just be borne.

Dvobl.k's 5th Symphony in E minor ('from the New World') was completed in May 1893, during the composer's period of

residence in New York. In December of the same year, its first performance met with great success, and much popular interest was aroused by the suggestions that the work was a truly American one, notably in its use of Indian tunes.

Dvor.ik himself, however, claimed that the symphony had been composed only 'in the spirit of American national m elodies', and that its tunes and its essentially Slavonic character made it 'genuine Bohemian music'.

The 'Pomp and Circumstance' marches form a series of five military marches for orchestra.

They were composed during two widely separated periods, the first four between 190 I and 1907, and the last in 1930. The first, and most famous, was first performed by the Liverpool Orchestral Society in October 1901. A year later, Elgar was invited to compose a Coronation Ode to be sung at a Gala Performance at the Opera House, Covent Garden, to commemorate the Coronation of Edvvard VII. He allied the tune from the Pomp and Circumstance March :'\0. I to A. C. Benson's words, to produce the imposingly patriotic 'Land of Hope and Glory'.

Redlands Junior Recorder Band Worksop Conductor: Alwyn Thorpe Since first I saw your face We the Spirits of the Air Menuetto La Rijouissance

Ford Purcell Boyce Handel

HE Redlands County Primary School in VVorksop has approximately 350 pupils, including infants. Each child is given the opportunity to learn the recorder and when proficient, becomes a member of the Recorder Band.

The Band, first formed in 1970

by Alwyn Thorpe, has given many concerts each year. It has performed with professional groups and choirs, broadcast on radio and recently played in a schools' concert for BBC Television. It also gained various awards in 1975 and 1976 at the National Festival of Music for Youth.

The typically English pieces have been chosen as characteristic of the Dance. The gay rhythmical qualities lend themselves ideally

to the recorder. The bouncing staccato bass is particularly effective in Handel's 'La Rejouissance'.

Hampshire CountyYouth Orchestra

vt1nd Ensemble Conductor: Je.ffrey Brown 2nd and 3rd movements from Octet for Wind Instruments Igor Stravinsky

(1882-1971)

AMPSHIRE County Youth Orchestra was formed in 1971 by the Hampshire Education Authority under its present conductor, Edgar Holmes, to provide and supplement the opportunities available to young mUSICIans.

In order to improve the quality of performance, chamber groups were encouraged amongst all sections.

This particular wind ensemble first played together in September 1975 under the woodwind coach, Jeffrey Brown. The members have been meeting after the fortnightly orchestral rehearsals.

Stravinsky composed the Octet for VVind Instruments in 1923.

A three-movement work, the last two movements are to be heard this evening: a Theme and Variation followed without a break by a

Finale. The work belongs to Stravinsky's neo-classical period and represents a deliberately impersonal style requiring no subjective interpretation on the part of the performers.

Kingsdale School Dance Band London Band Leader: Barry Graham Domino Jacques Plante, arr. Glen Osser Summer of '42 Michel Legrand I Can't Get Started Ira Girshwin

School is a mixed comprehensive school of 1900 pupils situated in S.E. London. Music plays an important part in the life of the school, and many children take part in the various musical activities such as the Dance Band, the Military Band, the Steel Band, the Orchestra, the Choir and the newly-formed Majorettes.

The Dance Band was formed in 1968 under the present Director of Music, Eric Matthes. It went on a Canadian tour with the Military Band in 1974 and gained Outstanding Awards at the National Festival of Music for Youth in 1973, 1975 and 1976. In August it took part in the International Festival of Youth Orchestras in Aberdeen under its present Band Leader, Barry Graham.

INGSDALE

Domino (Jacques Plante) - One of several excellent arrangements of Glen Osser. This fast-moving, vigorous number is excellent 'big band' music with all its variations in dynamics, splitsecond chords, and forte-pianos.

Summer of '42 (Michel Legrand) - This beautiful melody forms an alto saxophone feature which is played by James Talbot.

The music is in marked contrast to the previous number. There are also some fine flute and trumpet phrases which make this a particularly satisfying arrangement.

I Can't Get Started (Ira Girshwin) - This very popular number from the '30s Jazz era was made famous by Bunny Berigan as a trumpet feature.

Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School l6uth Brass Band Pontypridd Conductor: Ieuan Morgan March Paraphrase: Men of Harlech Edward German (1862-1936) Galop from Little Suite No. 2 Malcolm Arnold (b. 1921) RYN CELYNNOG Youth Brass Band hails from Beddau near Pontypridd, Mid-Glamorgan.

It has been in formation for approximately nine years and during that time has been most successful.

The Band has won the British Youth Open Championship, sponsored by Liverpool Youth ~lusic Committee, in 1969, 1970 and 1972, and were placed second in 1973.

In addition to this, regular concerts are a prominent feature of the Band's activities, as well as ('.,路0 recent television appearances.

Ieuan Morgan, a peripatetic brass tutor in ~lid-Glamo~an schools, with Anthom路 ~foore of Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School, are responsible for the training and administration of the Band.

The late Dr Denis Wright arranged ~larch Paraphrase for Brass Band from Edward German's orchestral work 'Welsh Rhapsody'.

The well-known Welsh melody is treated in various guises and has a thrilling climax.

'Galop' is the 3rd movement of Malcolm Arnold's Little Suite No. 2 and is, as the title portrays, a very fast and exciting ending.

David Bedford's Whitefield Music No. 1 is scored for four groups of instruments comprising twelve tuned milk bottles, chime bars and four drums. Unlike much of his recent music it is fully notated, but allows considerable freedom for the individual players.

Pimlico School String Orchestra London

Conductor: Jane Pamment Holberg Suite, movements 1, 2 and 5 Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) IMLICO is the only London comprehensive school to run a course for talented musicians.

Each year, 15 children are chosen at the age of 11 - they are g iven instrumental lessons and have wide opportunities for all kinds of ensemble and theoretical work .

The String Orchestra consists of the most advanced string players who normally meet once a week, to study three major works a year.

Works studied recently have included the Elgar Serenade for Strings, Britten's Simple Symphony and HoIst's St Paul's Suite.

In the Holberg Suite, Grieg does not show that vein of

P

nationalism to be found in most of his other works. He writes in a formally archaic style, in homage to his country's leading 18th century

Stoneleigh lOuth Orchestra Conductor: Adrian Brown Last movement from Symphony No. 5 in E minor (New World) Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 'Land of Hope and Glory' Edward Elgar (1857-1934) HE Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra was formed in 1944 as a junior orchestra for young players in the Stoneleigh district of Epsom. Its growth over the next 25 years was guided by its founder and conductor, H. Edward Gough, highlighted in 1951 by

winning the Festival of Britain competition for junior orchestras.

Over the past four years the orchestra has expanded its repertoire of classical and modern symphonic music under the direction and inspiration of Adrian Brown, a young professional conductor who achieved the distinction a year ago of becoming the first British conductor to reach the final of the von Karajan Young Conductors' Competition with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Dvorak's 5th Symphony in E minor (,from the New World') was completed in May 1893, during the composer's period of residence in

New York. In December of the same year, its first performance met with great success, and much popular interest was aroused by the suggestions that the work was a truly American one, notably in its use of Indian tunes. Dvorak himself, however, claimed that the symphony had been composed only 'in the spirit of American national melodies', and that its tunes and its essentially Slavonic character made it 'genuine Bohemian music'.

It is perhaps fitting that this work should come at the end of the Schools Prom as a tribute, albeit a European one, to the United States in their anniversary year.

The 'Pomp and Circumstance'

marches form a series of five military marches for orchestra. They were composed during two widely separated periods, the first four between 1901 and 1907, and the last in 1930. The first, and most famous, was first performed by the Liverpool Orchestral Society in October 1901. A year later, Elgar was invited to compose a Coronation Ode to be sung at a Gala Performance at the Opera House, Covent Garden, to commemorate the Coronation of Edward VII. He allied the tune from the Pomp and Circumstance March No. I to A. C. Benson's words, to produce the imposingly patriotic 'Land of Hope and Glory'.
