The Queen does not carry money, ever! She's not allowed to

Much like myself.  Though I suspect I'm not called a queen for that reason

At least you're finally coming out

I feel I can, as GayBoyGixer is too far away to make a pass...

I'm going to make a point of missing this royal crap. Just how much money is this anachronistic pomp costing the British taxpayer?.....  :-/ :-/

Though not a Royalist, I think they are good for the UK, and represent fantastic value for money - moreso in recent years as the current Queen has adjusted to commoners critisms.

dont know how true this is.. the queen only met the outlaws the other week..

 ::)Yes, she has accepted that it must be "simply beastly for us; being so poor!"

  Outstanding. 8-)

Oh... And an interesting bit of trivia... The Queen does not carry money, ever! She's not allowed to

Neither do I - for the rather more prosaic reason of not having any.

Who really gives a monkeys what the hell they chose? Its their wedding, and absolutely none of our business, as much as that useless money draining organisation, BBC, try to make it.

FFS, Jaime!!

I like music and I like what they have chosen. Is it a crime to share my views on here?

 

I like music. Of most genres.

My point being that do we have to keep analysing this bloody wedding. Its a PRIVATE wedding, not a STATE OCCASION, so it really is none of our business, as much as the media trys to make it 

I have no issues with discussion of music, I find it a fascinating subject, but I come on here because to escape the crap going on in London that is only the business of 2 people and 2000 of their friends and family.

Ah, that's why it's a Public Holiday, then. 

[bored bigyin54]

they may have had the sex pistols to do the music be more fun

I have watched and also listened to the music you have all posted.
My question is this?
Do any of those musicians actually look at the guy prancing his arms around like a fairy? Is sure doesn't look like they do...

Although musicians may disagree, my experience suggests that the conductor's hardest work is often unseen. Generally, at rehearsals, he (or she) will go through the music and decide on tempo and other specific parts, often in great detail. By the time of the performance, then, professional orchestras will already be familiar with the way the conductor wants a piece played and will therefore not need to keep glancing up to be aware of the tempo. That said, the conductor can still use signals to emphasise or remind players of certain requirements. A conductor can make or break a piece. One of my favourite pieces is the St Paul's Suite (Holst). I have it on CD, recorded by the RPO. However, Classic FM always plays the piece recorded by another orchestra which is played at a much faster tempo and, to my mind, the music is spoiled. I don't know which is definitively correct (though I could guess), but the change in tempo is purely down to the conductor alone.

I would emphasise, though, that I am not a musician...these are just my thoughts.

Yes, I certainly agree with that Nick.  The conductor provides much more than the tempo and musical emphasis for any particular piece of performed music.

There is a lot of the conductor's personality in how the piece is eventually reproduced - even though the composer's score provides the framework of the piece (as they conceived it) any conductor, while using the original score as a basis upon which to build his own interpretation of it, can make certain changes to the phrasing and emphasis of the construction but more importantly, to the tempo.

The result may well have marked differences to the original concept.

This is one reason why an early Colin Davis was a bit of an eye-roller in my view.

I once heard Toccata played in Guildford cathedral when I was about 14 which was designed with acoustics in mind and the organist knew what he was doing. Everybody stopped and listened (it wasn't a service just an open for public day) it was fantastic. Never forgotten that
