Title: Midday interlude
Post by: Nickbat on 25 August 2009, 13:42:02
Finland is a beautiful country and this music (by the Finnish composer Sibelius) is fantastically interwoven to the video. Watch in HQ!

I challenge you not to start tapping your feet at 1:50. :y

Splendid Nick that just hit the spot :y :y

I have to say the production value of some of the Tube's contributors is impressively high 8-) 8-) :y :y

I wonder if anyone can remember the name of the current affairs programme broadcast circa 60's which ran the theme as heard at 1.50 in the clip as its signature tune?

I am not in a company head quarters at the moment, but it is a lovely piece of music anyhow Nick! ;D ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* ;)

What is "HQ" then; I thought it was all about "HD" now! :D :D ;)

I think it was Tonight with Richard Dimbleby, that was the accompanying programme to today's Panorama that started in the 1950s 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) ;)

I think it was Tonight with Richard Dimbleby, that was the grandfather of a programme to today's Panarama 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) ;)

Never noticed that before, but I think HQ means High Quality, rather than Headquarters. Could be wrong though, Lizzie!  ;) ;D ;D ;D

I think the music was used for What The Papers Say, but I may be mistaken. :-/

You could be right on that one Nick, as I know it was a heavyweight politics programme on BBC in the days when I cared little for politics!  But I seem to remember interviews with Harrold Wilson in particular, and reviews of the then USA space race.  Must have been in the years 1964 to 67 approx. ;) ;)

Funnily enough I have a pile of CDs that we borowed from my dad next to me and the Karelia suite was one of them. Time to warm up the valve amp. [smiley=evil.gif]

I think it was 'This Week' a current affairs show which ran from the mid 50's up to 1992 - in various guises :y

Well Zulu I wish one of us could come up with the right answer! :'( :'(  The music is going round and round in my head and will not go away! :'( :'( :'(  I have gone through Youtube, BBC Archives, the internet generally and still I cannot find conclusive proof of the programme that theme tune fronted.  I can hear it, see it and still not find THE answer! :P :P :P :P

It is all your fault Zulu if I lay awake all tonight with that blessed music going around, around.............endlessly!!  ::) ::) ::) ::):D :D :D  ;D ;D ;D ;D;)

There are three other parts to this post on the Tube on the first segment there's a take on Bernstein's 'America' from West Side Story I haven't listened to the others so far.

Impressive stuff recorded in the Fairfield Hall Croydon in Sept. 1968

Emerson used to drape a Stars & Stripes over his Lesley speaker & at the end of America, throw the knives at it. On the occasion that the Band I was with supporting the Nice at Soton Uni, one of the knives bounced out & when through the front of our Bass Cabinet (Selmer T&B)!

Quad perchance?

Sadly not. :'(

A pair of home made monoblocks based on the Maplin Millennium (itself based on the Mullard five twenty).
