Competition

Cheekily posted on Twitter, this is aimed mainly at GCSE and A Level students but younger years, feel free to get involved. a) Name that tune b) Complete the chord sequence (4 more bars) and I will buy you a harmony text book of my choice, and that's a promise. You must complete it in Roman Numerals and identify passing notes if you can (it will help you identify the chords). I-vi-iib-V-passing note-Vb, I-vi-iib-Ic-passing dim chord-VI, iib-Ic-V-I. Enjoy and good luck!

Music for the Royal Wedding

Whatever your opinion is on tomorrow's Royal Wedding, I recommend you watch the service, simply for the stonking music which you will hear. You will hear Parry's I was glad as Catherine Middleton comes down the aisle (performed by the Vocal Ensemble in St Peter's February 2010) and the couple will leave to Walton's Crown Imperial (performed by the Orchestra in the Easter Concert 2007). As well as other a variety of sublime works by English composers, John Rutter has been commissioned by Westminster Abbey to write the anthem especially for the wedding: This is the day which the Lord hath made - how exciting! If you would like to see all the music for the wedding, please click here . Whatever you end up doing, have a very nice Bank Holiday!

The Beaumont Music Daily

As well as out Twitter page, you will see that the Beaumont Music Daily will be released every evening which will contain mainly music-related posts/links/videos from Twitter. You don't have to be on Twitter to view the links- they are just shared by Twitter users. I hope you find it interesting and useful! Click here for the Beaumont Music Daily.
