Re: BBC dcoumentary "Civilisation" (1966-1969; first broadcast 1969)
"A Personal View by Lord Clark"
available on DVD (670 minutes)

I highly recommend this DVD set;

it contains one of the most beautiful series of documentaries I have
ever seen.

The excerpts in the ninth instalment are the following

Handel Concerto Grosso Opus 3
Bach St Matthew Passion
[organ piece:] Buxtehude Toccata and Fugue in F
Bach Christmas Oratorio
Handel Alcina
Handel Messiah
Mozart Don Giovanni
Francisque Harp music
Haydn Allegro Moderato No 77
Haydn Creation
Mozart Quartet in C Minor
Mozart Don Giovanni

1st mvmt. of the quartet op.77,1?

> Haydn Creation
> Mozart Quartet in C Minor

probably d minor K 421?

> Mozart Don Giovanni

How can you reply to a posting from 1999?

Actually, I first thought the question was about the computer game
Civilization (that also used some classical music since its first
installment in the early 90ties)

Kenneth Clark's "Civilisation" (1969) is a major achievement in both
historical & aesthetic terms. The scope is huge, of course, but the
enormousness doesn't bog down; polyhistors like Clark & Jacques Barzun
(& perhaps Dr. Jacob Bloody Bronowski) uncover remarkable connections
between epochs & draw analogies with an easy precision. The result is
completely engaging. Clark's text -- read by the author -- is dense
but plainspoken: I recommend watching the program with the subtitles
displayed.

Plainspoken, yes: Lord Clark is pleasantly opinionated and his asides
are often thought-provoking.

"ANDDD ..," as a foreigner, I find his English beautiful as well as
amusing.

He was obviously not afraid of making sweeping statements

All in all this long documentary is a piece of art itself. The footage
is gorgeous.

This -- like the Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski -- is public
broadcasting at its best, as far as I can tell.

Do you happen to know the name of the trumpet voluntary used in Episode Seven?

This thread may be long over, but does anybody know the piece of music played during the St. Paul's Cathedral sequence in the 8th episode? I really liked it.

Thanks.

It's the Overture from The Gordian Knot Untied by Purcell. It might be
the same recording found in the Big Purcell Box on Amazon (Chamber
Orchestra of Hartford / Fritz Mahler).

Question about episode 2.

Does anybody know the names of the choral music (I think that's what it is) that the monks sing? There's a few different ones, I think it was the second or third piece that really impressed me.

Thanks

Dipping into the Emerson Quartet's DSCH cycle, and attempting comparisons with the Rubio Quartet.

Slatkin's Tchaikovsky Ballet music (RCA). Endlessly invigorating music and seasonal too, and a joy. It helps that our community band is doing a Nutcracker medley presently, and a grade 4 piece. I play the glock and have to be one's toes for the Plum Fairy bit.

Chailly's Stravinsky on a Double Decca. Superb.
