King Edward VI School Gala Concert
King Edward VI Gala Concert
King Edward VI School Gala Concert is being staged in celebration of the Cultural Olympiad. The 2012 Cultural Olympiad aims to celebrate the nation’s rich and diverse cultural life. It encourages participants to build new audiences, involve the community, try something new and think big. The Olympic year provides a magnificent opportunity for KES musicians, joined by those from partner schools, to demonstrate their talents and share their music with a wider audience in the magnificent setting of the Anvil.We are delighted that we can share this Olympic concert with guest choirs from feeder prep and partnership schools; Prince’s Mead, Sherborne House, Springhill RC Primary, Stroud and Twyford. We have 240 junior pupils taking part and 250 KES performers. The range of music will be exciting and varied, a real musical feast from well-known pieces such as Jupiter to more experimental music with Titan’s Forge.I hope you enjoy the concert and trust that it will provide a memorable and exciting highlight for what will be an extraordinary year as Great Britain hosts the Olympic Games.
Julian ThouldHead Master
Over the past term it has been great fun watching this evening’s concert unfold and a huge pleasure for us to work with Matthew Barley and our junior guest musicians. The sheer energy and commitment of all performers on this large scale project has been quite remarkable. From a King Edward’s perspective it has given us the opportunity to try something new and to push our boundaries in every sense of the word.KES students are renowned for immersing themselves in a whole array of curricular and co-curricular pursuits and the number of musicians performing this evening is testament to the value they place on Music. Each year we have senior pupils move on to pursue Music at degree level at Music Conservatoires or Universities while many others continue to enjoy their music making as they study for a wide range of careers. Whichever path they choose, we hope they will take with them that special sense of self-expression, communication, fulfilment and enjoyment which comes with the pursuit of musical excellence and is at the heart of what it is to be a musician.

Madeleine norMandleader oF syMphony orchestra
I am in my fifth year and currently studying for my GCSEs. I have recently achieved grade 8 on my violin and have been in the Symphony Orchestra since first year and have slowly made my way up to leader! As well as this orchestra I have played in various others outside school, including Hampshire County Youth Orchestra which I am in at the moment. There are 95 players in the King Edward’s Symphony Orchestra and every Monday for an hour, we get together to rehearse. last July we took part in the Music for Youth national Festival and had the chance to play at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, an amazing experience for us all to play in such a large theatre. When we were up in Birmingham, we also had the opportunity to play with some players from the national Youth Orchestra in an orchestral workshop.Also, I play with the school String Orchestra which has been very successful since its recent formation. We played at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham and were awarded the Music Education Council’s Award for Chamber Orchestra at the national Festival in 2009. This summer we will be on tour in Prague in the Czech Republic.

ZoË carter taiupper school Music scholar
I joined King Edward VI as first year music scholar and from there I have taken part in the school Flute Quartet who won the ABRSM Chamber Music award at the national Festival in 2011. I am currently taking GCSE music and I also take part in many more school groups such as String Quartet and Wind Octet. When I came to the school in 2008 I was part of the national Children’s Orchestra, and thanks to the school in 2011 I also took part in the English Schools Orchestra which I am also doing again this year. As well as school orchestras I also participate in Hampshire Flute Choir, Hampshire County Youth Wind Band, of which I’m principal flute, and Winchester Youth Orchestra. I was part of Primary Academy at the Royal Academy of Music, where I started to learn viola and joined a course called Arpeggione for two years. Recently I took part in a Southampton run String Chamber music course on viola, and I currently learn the violin, flute and piano and achieved grade 7 distinction, grade 8 and grade 6 merit respectively.
harry Mcgheechant Music scholar
I am in the lVI and play the saxophone and clarinet at grade 8 standard and participate in the School Orchestra, Big Band, Wind Octet/Quartet, and Sax Quartet. I also enjoy playing the guitar, piano and drums, and play in the Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra. I’m very much looking forward to this evening’s concert and the highlight will be playing a clarinet solo with the Big Band. It should be an amazing experience to play in front of so many people at such a great venue.

Musician -in-residence
I wish more people would
think about music the way
Matthew Barley doesthe times (london)
Over the course of the last two terms we have been delighted to welcome Matthew Barley to the Music department to work with a range of our musicians. He has led workshops with our string orchestra, GCSE and A-level musicians, cello ensemble, woodwind soloists, A-level Music Tech class and the Music Tech Club. The piece you will hear this evening is the culmination of a composition project with pupils from the GCSE and A-level music classes.Matthew was educated at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Moscow Conservatoire. He thinks big: his first gesture when he returned to the UK was to hire 12 cathedrals in England and Wales, playing solo recitals and in the middle of each concert, performing a work with 15 schoolchildren that had
been written during the three previous days in workshops. Since then he has worked with london Sinfonietta, the london Symphony Orchestra, the Association of British Orchestras, the Purcell School, the Royal College of Music, the South Bank Centre, the national Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and as a professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama for the postgraduate course of Performance and Communication Skills. Given his background it is no surprise that he has brought an exciting new dimension to our work at KES this year. With his depth of specialist knowledge he has given the students an insight into the way in which a practising artist works with the main focus of the residency on creativity in composition through improvisation and performance.
Cello playing is at the centre of Matthew Barley’s career, while his musical world has virtually no geographical, social or stylistic boundaries. Music Director of BBC2 TV’s Classical Star programme, Matthew Barley is passionate about education, improvisation, cross-disciplinary projects, composition, and pioneering community programmes. He is also a world-renowned cellist, who has performed in over 50 countries, including concertos with the BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony, london Sinfonietta, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Royal Scottish national, Royal liverpool Philharmonic, Athens Camerata, Zagreb Solosits, Czech Philharmonic, and Melbourne and
new Zealand Symphonies.Matthew Barley’s non-classical collaborations include Amjad Ali Khan, Davud Azad, Talvin Singh, Sultan Khan and Ross Daly, appearing in venues ranging from Ronnie Scott’s and the WOMAD festivals to london’s Southbank Centre. Matthew’s new music group, Between The notes, has undertaken over 60 creative projects with young musicians and orchestral players around the world.Recent engagements have included Tan Dun’s The Map at the launaudière Festival in Canada, performances with the netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra and Metropole Jazz Orchestra, a residency at Kings Place in london, and a new project with Viktoria Mullova called The Peasant Girl.
Constant Filter (John Metcalfe’s music for cello and electronics) has just been released following the five-star success of The Dance of the Three legged Elephants with jazz pianist Julian Joseph.Future plans include performances at london’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and the Vienna Konzerthaus, concerts with the Kremerata Baltica, BBC Scottish and Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, tours in Europe, Mexico and Siberia, the inaugural concert at the Barefoot Concert Hall in the Maldives, and in 2013 a residency at the Spitalfield’s Festival in london in June and a 100-event tour of the UK to celebrate Britten’s centenary.
MattheW Barley
i have been delighted with the response from the students at kes who are a joy to work with. they have been intelligent, disciplined, and eager to learn new ways of making music. the composition was created by the students during several days of workshop sessions. an indian tihai (a rhythmic pattern often used to conclude a section on indian music), called takita, was used as a starting point for composition because the students enjoyed learning it so much. We explored the way a small amount of material can be used to make a lot of music, with a healthy dose of imagination and creativity.

Part 2
Titan’s Forge
aBout the piece When asked to write a piece for the Anvil gala concert, a considerable time was spent searching for a subject that would unite the differing performers. After much consideration two elements kept returning. One was that the concert was to take place in the Anvil. The other that all of the schools represented here tonight have an SO postcode and as such are unified by Southampton. Once it had been realised that the concert would fall a month before the centenary of the RMS Titanic’s departure from Southampton Docks, the link that combined these two factors had been found.
The Titan of the title refers to the powerful race of deities in Greek Mythology who ruled in the Golden Age. As such, the word titan has become synonymous with strength
and importance. In this, the year of the 2012 london Olympics, it is interesting to note that the RMS Titanic had a sister ship, the RMS Olympic, named due to the 1908 london Games. This allusion resounds further when one realises that the Olympians overthrew the Titans. There are two final thoughts of interest connected to this piece. Firstly, the other occasion london hosted the Games was in 1948. Due to the post-war economic climate in the UK and wider Europe they were known as the Austerity Games. Secondly, the Titanic is the story of a luxury ocean liner wrecked at sea, the gravity of the situation ignored until a tragedy was unavoidable and the lifeboats that were deployed falling well short of their capacity. Plus ça change …
aBout the Music Composing a piece for large ensemble is no easy task, and one for seven choirs and two orchestras provides any number of logistical problems. It is for this reason that the material you will hear is created out of fragmented cues that build together as if being created in a sonic foundry. In three obvious sections, the piece begins with the KES Choir and Orchestra developing ideas on the theme of the anvil, an item full of musical connotations. The original Germanic root of the word has the noun beat at its core and it is also the name of the bone in the ear that transmits vibrations allowing us to hear. The opening fanfare-esque calls from brass are obscure quotes from sections of the melody from ‘The Song of the Blacksmith’ from
Gustav Holst’s Second Suite in F, op. 28. Bubbling out of these calls are textures on flutes, clarinets and then full woodwind, suggesting the initial awakening of the forge into life. Completing the texture are samples recorded by the composer at Southampton Docks.
The second section features the 5 junior choirs reading short stories that the performers have themselves penned. Each child reads their work simultaneously thus creating a cacophony of voices. The themes of the stories are unified in that they follow that of the Titanic before she set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton. The stories are from many differing perspectives; the men who forged the massive structure together, a bystander seeing the structure for the first time; an hotelier remarking on the increased business the arrival of the ship has brought. These are stories of hope and excitement, before any knowledge of the tragedy that was to strike on April 15th 1912.
In the third part of the piece the forging of the great boat begins, with rhythmical textures and effects building up until all 450+ performers escalate to a climax. In amongst the slowly building rhythmic complexity you will hear technical details of the ship from the KES Male Choir, included in the table opposite. The hammering of iron girders is represented by the Springhill and KES percussionists and you may also hear the ship’s blast from various sections of the orchestras. The piece ends with all vocalists chanting the most prescient of all facts; “lifeboats; twenty, should be plenty” before a final call from the ship’s foghorn.

aBout the coMposer Having been awarded a Buchar Scholarship from Edinburgh University, Oliver leaman completed a Masters in Saxophone Performance at the Montréal Conservatoire of Music. Whilst in Canada he played in masterclasses with Eugene Rousseau and Henri Pousseur as well as performing in the Montréal Chamber Music Festival and the International Jazz Festival. He was also the runner up in the Reptigency Chamber Music Competition and had several commissions performed in the Place des Arts concert series.
On returning to Britain in 2003, Oliver was appointed Head of Music Technology in the Junior Department of Trinity College of Music where he went on to lecture in the Composition Department on Undergraduate and Masters courses as well as teaching in the Education Department. He has also guest-lectured at Huddersfield and Reading Universities and has taught at King Edward VI School since 2004.
Oliver’s PhD in pedagogic composition using Max/MSP to develop interactive software was
awarded by Brunel University in June 2011. Recent compositions and commissions have included pieces for The Southbank Sinfonia, Piano Circus, Winchester Cathedral and collaborations with lawrence Herklots on Einstein The Musical and That Certain Uncertainty, to be performed at Theatre Royal Winchester in July 2012. Oliver continues to perform and record with the experimental group Bash-O. He is also a published author of analysis for the naxos record label.

Percussion Group
Springhill School choir is made up of boys and girls from years 4.5 and 6 who meet once a week after school to sing together. We sing a variety of songs in unison and in parts and particularly enjoy action songs and songs from musicals. The choir regularly take part in concerts and other events. last year we were lucky enough to sing for the lord Mayor’s Toy Appeal and to open the festivities at the Bedford Place Christmas Party. We also regularly take part in the Southampton Music Festival. We are really looking forward to taking part in tonight’s concert and having the opportunity to sing with so many other choirs.

TwyfordSchool
The Senior Choir of Twyford School, under the direction of David Hall, enriches the worship in our regular morning chapel services and more formal services throughout the year. There are currently thirty-two members selected from Years 6, 7 and 8. All of the choristers receive a singing lesson each term and many choose to have weekly lessons in singing and on instruments. Recently, the Senior Choir has sung choral evensong at Christ Church, Oxford and at St Mary’s, Twyford and a charity concert at Romsey Abbey. The choir has also combined forces with parents, friends and professional musicians to perform Parry’s I was Glad, Fauré’s Requiem and Vivaldi’s Gloria. Twyford Senior Choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music. nine of the children are also members of the national Children’s Choir of Great Britain.

Firefly, shining in the night.Firefly, spectacle of light.Flashing and flickering, oh so brightFirefly, shining in the night.Why are you hiding in the light of the day?Only igniting when the sun goes away.Flashing, flickering, flicking, flashing, flashing, flickering. Firefly.
Firefly, Firefly, shining in the night.Firefly, Firefly, spectacle of light.Flashing and flickering, oh so bright.Firefly, shining in the night.Why are you hiding till the moon’s in the sky?Only igniting when the evening is nigh.Flashing, flickering, flicking, flashing, flashing, flickering. Firefly.
Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed.Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need.I say love it is a flower, and you its only seed.
It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem to give,And the soul afraid of dyin’ that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too longAnd you think that love is only for the lucky and the strongJust remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows.lies the seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose.
The meaning of this enchanting medieval poem remains elusive. The oldest known source is a sixteenth-century British library manuscript (Harley 7578), and the text was first printed in a modern edition in 1907. It also appears in The Oxford Book of English Verse, edited by Helen Gardner, with the title ‘The Bridal Morn’.The lily and the Rose can be read as a symbol of the Virgin Mary, and perhaps the most convincing interpretation of the poem is that of Mary mourning the death of her son. References to ‘bearing the bell away’ and to the ‘bailey’ could be seen to support this; in the Middle Ages, bells were rung over a body to confirm death, and bailey is a synonym for ‘keep’, the place where a body might be buried. However, the most compelling modern interpretation is that the text is concerned with the fear and excitement of a young girl on her wedding day, hence the title in The Oxford Book of English Verse. Certainly, references to mother, windows, and sunshine can be read as images of protection and freedom.
The maidens came when I was in my mother’s bower,The maidens came when I was in my mother’s bower,I had all that I would.
The bailey beareth the bell away;The lily, the rose, the rose I lay.
The silver is white, Red is the gold;The silver is white, Red is the gold;The robes they lay in fold.
The bailey beareth the bell away;The lily, the rose, the rose I lay
And through the glass windows shines the sun.How should I love, How should I love,and I so young, so young?
The bailey beareth the bell away;The lily, the rose, the rose I lay.
