Welcome to our Summer Music Fest - a selection of musical items submitted by previous hosts of these online selections, and edited by Peter Steadman.

Time has not allowed us to include every submission as some were quite long in themselves. I hope to include at least one item from each of us, and I will tell you the name of the person - or persons - who made the suggestion.

We should probably begin with some evocation of sunrise. Kathie Oakley suggested this charming performance by the National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain. That's right "children". The important timpani part is handled well by a very confident player. And when you see the trumpet section you will be reminded that, yes, these are actually children, not 'youth', they are still children.

The result of putting childhood and sunrise together?  I think it is inspired. See what you think:
Richard Georg Strauss (1864-1949)
Also sprach Zarathustra (1896)
Thus spoke Zarathustra        (1m15)


performed by the National Children's Orchestras of Great Britain, conducted by Natalia Luis-Bassa
in Portsmouth Guildhall, in 2019

suggested by Kathie Oakley

My surname apparently implies that my ancient ancestors owned a horse and kept it in a field which they also owned. You probably think that can only lead to one Trustee name, whereas in fact it describes both Peters, Horsfield and Steadman.

One is your host, the other brings us this ideal first vocal item in a concert of Summer-time music. Here is an Ian Assersohn arrangement of the mid 13th century 'round' Sumer is icumen in. It is sung by members of Leatherhead Choral Society in which the proposer sings bass.

I'll include the original text, and a modern translation. In the original Wessex dialect of Middle English, the letter þ is pronounced as a 'th' like in the word bloweþ - or bloweth.
Traditional (before 1261)
arr Ian Assersohn

Sumer is icumen in        (2m05)

performed by members of Leatherhead Choral Society in April 2020

Loudly sing, cuckoo!

The seed is growing
And the meadow is blooming,
And the wood is coming into leaf now,
Sing, cuckoo!

The ewe is bleating after her lamb,
The cow is lowing after her calf;
The bullock is prancing,
The billy-goat farting,
              [or "The stag cavorting"
]
Sing merrily, cuckoo!

Cuckoo, cuckoo,
You sing well, cuckoo,
Never stop now.

Sing, cuckoo, now; sing, cuckoo;
Sing, cuckoo; sing, cuckoo, now!

Let us move forward four centuries to this dance by John Playford. An interesting fellow, Playford and his son Henry, are known principally as 17th century music publishers. However, John's most famous publication was his Dancing Master: The Compleat Guide - more generally referred to as The English Dancing Master. Henry revised it later.

It is to Playford that we owe the invention - and now custom - of joining quavers and semiquavers with a single bar rather than printing them one by one on a music score.

This dance is called Upon a Summer's Day, and as we had the text for Peter H's piece, I offer you many hours of summer fun with the dance steps themselves:

John Playford
(1623-1686/7)
from Dancing Master: The Compleat Guide
Upon a Summer's Day (1651)        (2m15)

Here's comes another vocal item, some might call it a novelty item. Anyway, this is a popular tune with the barbershop movement both here and in the US.

A Tin Pan Alley song from 1902, it was written by Welsh-born songwriter George Evans "The Honey Boy," and it is presented here by a talented young man who calls himself  Trudbol A Cappella. He seems to have found an effective way to keep staff costs down.

George Honey Boy Evans (1870-1915)
Lyrics: Ren Shields (1868-1913)
In the good old summer time        (1m15)

performed by Trudbol A Capella (Julien Neel)

suggested by Peter Steadman

We really must remember who we are. All this reveling in summery climes may not be good for us, as this gentleman reminds us in a patter song, based on a line by Rudyard Kipling:

Music & Lyrics: Sir Noël Peirce Coward (1899-1973)
Mad Dogs and Englishmen (1931)        (2m25)

performed by Noël Coward

suggested by Lynda Chang

Mad Dogs & Englishmen

In tropical climes there are certain times of day

When all the citizens retire
To tear their clothes off and perspire.
It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey,
Because the sun is much too sultry
And one must avoid its ultry-violet ray.

The native grieve when the white men leave their huts,
Because they're obviously definitely nuts!

Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun,
The Japanese don't care to.
The Chinese wouldn't dare to,
Hindoos and Argentines sleep firmly from twelve to one.
But Englishmen detest a siesta.
In the Philippines
There are lovely screens
To protect you from the glare.
In the Malay States
There are hats like plates
Which the Britishers won't wear.
At twelve noon
The natives swoon
And no further work is done.
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.

It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see

That though the English are effete,
They're quite impervious to heat,
When the white man rides every native hides in glee,
Because the simple creatures hope he
Will impale his solar topee on a tree.
It seems such a shame

When the English claim
The earth
That they give rise to such hilarity and mirth.

Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
The toughest Burmese bandit
Can never understand it.
In Rangoon the heat of noon
Is just what the natives shun.
They put their Scotch or Rye down
And lie down.
In a jungle town
Where the sun beats down
To the rage of man and beast
The English garb
Of the English sahib
Merely gets a bit more creased.
In Bangkok
At twelve o'clock
They foam at the mouth and run,
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.

Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
The smallest Malay rabbit
Deplores this foolish habit.
In Hongkong
They strike a gong
And fire off a noonday gun
To reprimand each inmate
Who's in late.
In the mangrove swamps
Where the python romps
There is peace from twelve till two.
Even caribous
Lie around and snooze;
For there's nothing else to do.
In Bengal
To move at all
Is seldom, if ever done.
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday
Out in the midday
    Out in the midday
        Out in the midday
            Out in the midday
                Out in the midday
                    Out in the midday sun.

Lynda Chang brought us this item. She helpfully points out:

Despite the fact that tropical heat can be a year-round phenomenon rather than merely applicable to the summer season, the value-add of a Geography lesson augments the qualification of this perennial classic for our 'summer music fest concert'.  To seal the deal, this was premiered on 1 June 1931 - June being the official beginning of the summer season in the northern hemisphere.

As for those quibblers who say there are no caribou in Malaysia, the singer/songwriter was actually referring to 'carabaou - water buffalo'.

[I'm feeling ever so slightly chastised now. PS.]

I realise I have been thinking about summer as a time for holidays. But there are, of course, plenty of people who have to work at this time of the year.

In 1875, the editor of St Petersburg music magazine Nouvellist commissioned Tchaikovsky to write a series of piano pieces for each month of the year, with each carrying a subtitle. This short work is for July, and it is subtitled Song of the Reaper.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
from The Seasons Op 37a or 37b (1876)
July: Song of the Reaper        (1m45)

performed by Gabriele Tomasello, piano

suggested by Liz Barnes


♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Here comes another worker, this one bemoaning his lot in the summer long vacation. Richard Miller has chosen Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues:

Eddie (Ray Edward) Cochran (1938-1960)
Lyrics: Eddie Cochran & Jerry Capehart
Summertime Blues (1958)        (2m05)



performed by Eddie Cochran

suggested by Richard Miller
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money,
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick "
Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said quote:
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Do you remember the group Mungo Jerry, and their debut single? It was 1970. and the single was In the Summertime. Here comes another piece of Richard's mis-spent youth.


Music & Lyrics: Ray(mond Edward) Dorset (b1946)
In the Summertime        (3m35)



performed by Mungo Jerry, fronted by Ray Dorset

suggested by Richard Miller

Written for the film Amélie, this tune has become a popular evocation of summer, in particular those tranquil school holiday afternoons of August, when a gentle breeze drifts across the fields, or you walk through a village with its windows open and one person is playing the piano.

I hope you will be at least as contented as Haburu (who, incidentally, has his own highly successful youtube channel):

Yann Pierre Tiersen (b1970)
from the soundtrack music for the film Amélie (2001)
Comptine d'un autre été - L'Après-Midi        (2m20)
Nursery Rhyme of another Summer - Afternoon


performed by 'a friend of Haburu'

suggested by Peter Steadman

Summer afternoons are not always idyllic, and even the reaper may have to stop work when one of those summer tempests of thunder and lightning ravages through.

Having reminded us that some are working in the summer, Liz Barnes here points to the changeable weather with Johann Strauss II and his Unter Donner und Blitz. I can't help feeling they are enjoying the appalling weather far too much here:
Johann Baptist Strauss II (1825-1899)
Unter Donner und Blitz  Op 324 (1864)

'Neath Thunder and Lightning        (3m20)
 
This is the Austrian conductor Carlos Kleiber, conducting the encore of a concert during a tour of Japan in 1989, probably with the Vienna Philharmonic

Let us bring the mood back to something more restful with this suggestion from Jane Forrester. Jane, and Richard Miller, proof-read all this text before it is released to public view. They have been doing that week in, week out, since the first series of lockdown concerts. They even spot dates that put the composer in the wrong century, or that suggest they died before being born (rarely happens in real life, only in my typing.)

Jane proposes the second movement of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, with its subtitle Scene by the brook. Towards the end is a cadenza for woodwind instruments that imitates bird calls. Beethoven helpfully identified the bird species in the score: nightingale (flute), quail (oboe), and cuckoo (two clarinets).

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
from Symphony No 6 in F major Pastorale Op 68 (1808)
2  Szene am Bach    Andante molto mosso        (10m25)
Scene by the Brook    moderately with plenty of movement

performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Herbert von Karajan  

suggested by Jane Forrester

♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Do I hear a waltz? It must be Kathie Oakley's next choice, Tchaikovsky's Valse des Fleurs. It is played here by four young Korean guitarists:
Tchaikovsky
arr for four guitars
Valse des Fleurs    Waltz of the Flowers        (6m10)

performed by (left to right):  4th : Jongwon Lee  •  3rd : Jinkyu Kim  •  2nd : Yudeok Seo  •  1st : Haeun Jang

suggested by Kathie Oal;ey


♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Yes we have left the afternoon now and the evening closes in around us as we listen to another of Peter Horsfield's choices, Summer Evening, by Delius.

Enjoy the images with the music, the first few feature Grez-Sur-Loing, Delius' home in France which was much favoured by Impressionist painters like John Lavery. The first pictures shown are his, from the area around the iconic bridge, on what appears to be a lovely Summer Evening. Other artists include Monet, and John Goodhall who captures joy and refinement in rural Edwardian England.
Frederick Theodore Albert Delius (1862-1934)
from Three Small Tone Poems VI/7 (1890)
1 Summer Evening
       (6m20)



performed by the Royal Scottish Orchestra, conducted by David Lloyd Jones

suggested by Peter Horsfield


♫ ───────────────────────────────────
And so we come to sunset. It is wonderful to be in one of Britain's old cities around sunset. The light that is cast on the ancient buildings brings new vistas and perspectives to a familiar scene, and perhaps without the daytime clamour of modern traffic.

This restful setting by Roger Quilter is sung by boy treble Andrew Swaite and countertenor James Bowman.
Roger Cuthbert Quilter (1877-1953)
Text: Roger Quilter, using the name Romney Marsh

Summer Sunset        (6m20)
Silver flows the river,
Golden gleams the sky;


performed by Andrew Swaite, treble • James Bowman, countertenor • Andrew Plant, piano

suggested by Richard Miller

When proof-read this webpage, Lynda Chang spotted that we had all avoided one obvious choice. You were probably expecting to hear it too, but each of us assumed someone else would have chosen, Summertime, from Porgy and Bess. Here's an excellent recording by Ella Fitzgerald:
George (Jacob Bruskin) Gershwin (1898-1937)
Text: Edwin DuBose Heyward (1885-1940)
from the opera Porgy and Bess  (1935)
Summertime    (5m00)


performed by Ella Fitzgerald, on her 1958 album Live at Mr Kelly's, a club on Rush Street, Chicago

suggested by Lynda Chang (DuBose Heyward also wrote the original book Porgy, both Ira and George Gershwin are sometimes credited with contributing to the kyrics)

♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Still heading towards night, and sleep, here is the last of Kathie's choices, and one she seems to have fallen in love with, Grieg's Summer's Eve:

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (1843-1907)
from Lyriske Stykke, heft X    Lyric Pieces,  Book 10  (1901)
2  Sommeraften (Somerkvaeld)    Summer's Eve    (3m00)



played by Ludwig Treviranus

suggested by Kathie Oakley


♫ ───────────────────────────────────
Our finale was in my mind as I came up with my suggestions. I thought perhaps it was too long so I did not put it on my shortlist. However, this was one of the two items David Gibbs suggested. I had it in mind as the breath-taking finale to today's selection so that is where I am placing it now.

This is the final exciting movement of Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony, played in Auckland Town Hall, with organist Timothy Noon.

Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)
from Symphony No 3 (with Organ) in C minor Op 78 (1886)
3 Maestoso - Allegro
       (9m40)

performed by Timothy Noon, with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Thomas,
at Auckland Town Hall, New Zealand, in November 2021

suggested by David Gibbs

I have tried to shape the recordings into the parts of the day. I hope you feel that has been successful, and above all, I hope you have enjoyed our choices.

We return LIVE, at Leatherhead Methodist Church, socially distanced, hands disinfected, and whatever else the Government think up for us, at 12.30 lunchtime on Thursday, 22nd July 2021.

Doors open at 12.10. Strictly first come, first seated. Please be prepared to be turned away. Sorry, but safe seating will be pretty limited.
