0:00:09 > 0:00:11Some people call it classical music...
0:00:12 > 0:00:14..but I think it should be called...
0:00:14 > 0:00:17brain-fizzing, mind-whizzing,
0:00:17 > 0:00:23amazing music, and look, it's right here in the Royal Albert Hall,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08All you need is some fantastic classical music.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And your imagination.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17See, classical music's a little bit like having a spaceship.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It can take you anywhere you want.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26So, when a man called Gustav Holst wanted to explore the planets...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Destination up ahead.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32..he went into space using his imagination.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Destination right there! - ALARM BLARES
0:01:34 > 0:01:39And he dreamt up music about Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and...

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I know. Look at them all.- Yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08There must be about 6,000 aliens in here.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- I mean, look at this one.- Ugh!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- That's a weird alien, isn't it?- Isn't it just?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- You can tell by the boggly eyes and the slightly green complexion.- Hmm.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh. Hey, look!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21That must be the chief alien.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You can tell by the masses of grey, curly hair.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25LAUGHTER

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Hi, hi, my name's Dan Starkey.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I'm on the run and I really need your help.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- That's a long name. - DAN SIGHS
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Listen! Listen, there's a horrible troll after me.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44The oven's on, and he's ready to turn me into Dan Starkey pies.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Ew...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49When you say troll, do you mean a slightly chubby troll with,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54kind of, slimy, grey skin and maybe, maybe really bad teeth?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yes, yes, and yes.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00If you see him, do me a favour and shout, "Troll!"
0:06:00 > 0:06:03AUDIENCE: Troll!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Now, let's make some noise for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31CHEERING
0:06:38 > 0:06:40And, of course, let's hear a big welcome
0:06:40 > 0:06:43for the amazing Thomas Sondergard.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44CHEERING
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Now, this concert is happening because of you.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54You've all been listening to ten great pieces
0:06:54 > 0:06:56and we're going to hear all of them today.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58But you've also been producing your own brilliant music,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02art and dance, inspired by those pieces, and we're going to see some
0:07:02 > 0:07:05of that during the concert, too, on the screens and here on stage.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So, do you want to hear some more great music?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10CHEERING
0:07:10 > 0:07:14OK, let's start with my favourite eight notes in...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15AUDIENCE: Troll!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19No. No, no, we've done the troll one. We've done...
0:07:19 > 0:07:24BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH SYMPHONY INTRO
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I was just going to say,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29my favourite eight notes in the whole concert are those eight...
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- AUDIENCE: Troll!- What?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Ah-ha!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh, very funny.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Anyway, those are my favourite eight notes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41How did you know that, Thomas? That was quite cool.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Do you recognise them?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- AUDIENCE: Yes. - Of course you do.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They are the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50MUSIC BEGINS
0:09:28 > 0:09:30MUSIC ENDS, APPLAUSE
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Royal Albert Hall as quick as you can.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm on my way, Barney. I had to go get a wood block.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The orchestra left theirs in the cafe in Cardiff,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43and you can't play this next piece of music without a wood block.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's music called Short Ride In A Fast Machine,
0:09:46 > 0:09:47which is just what I'm having now.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49As quick as you can, please!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54The composer of this piece, John Adams,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56took a ride in his friend's sports car,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and after a crazy, scary, hair-raising ride,
0:09:59 > 0:10:00soon wished he hadn't.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03TRAFFIC HORNS BLARE
0:10:03 > 0:10:06But it gave him an idea to compose music full of racing rhythms,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08speed and energy.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And it's all kicked off by this, the wood block,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20which is why the whole orchestra's going to be really happy to know...
0:10:22 > 0:10:23..that I'm here!
0:10:25 > 0:10:26CHEERING
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And it's time for Short Ride In A Fast Machine.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36MUSIC BEGINS
0:13:08 > 0:13:10MUSIC ENDS, APPLAUSE
0:13:17 > 0:13:20When we were told we were doing classical music, we were like,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22"Oh, this is going to be the worst topic ever.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23"This is actually going to be horrible."
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Then the music started playing and it was just quite fun.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I think Ten Pieces is absolutely fantastic.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34They're all, like, really exciting.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40If someone were to tell me classical music is not for them,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I would say, "But have you listened to it?"
0:13:43 > 0:13:45SHE HUMS 'IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING'

0:14:01 > 0:14:02Makes you alive, really.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03You can get lost in music.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I've seen a different side of classical music.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I never knew classical music could be so good.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23APPLAUSE
0:14:23 > 0:14:27LOW RUMBLE
0:14:27 > 0:14:31It sounds to me like a musical storm is brewing.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I think you're right, Molly, which is actually great,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36because our next piece, written by Benjamin Britten,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39is all about a whirling, swirling, stormy sea,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42and to perform their own dance inspired by Britten's
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Storm Interlude from Peter Grimes,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46let's welcome the boys of St Joseph's College, Ipswich.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You know, Molly, I think we're going to need the audience's help
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- here, you know, to get the orchestra in the mood.- Great idea.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Let's make our own storm.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09We're all going to need some hand rubs, some clicks, some knee slaps.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13And we're going to move the sounds around the hall like a Mexican wave.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14OK, here we go.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21HANDS SOUND LIKE LIGHT RAIN
0:15:24 > 0:15:27CLICKS SOUND LIKE HEAVIER RAIN
0:15:30 > 0:15:34KNEE SLAPS SOUND LIKE VERY HEAVY RAIN
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Ha-ha, it's building!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49DRUMS RUMBLE LIKE THUNDER
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Whoa! Molly, we should get out of here.- Yeah!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55MUSIC BEGINS
0:19:19 > 0:19:22MUSIC ENDS, APPLAUSE
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Hold on a minute, hold on a minute. W-What, what are you doing?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm taking a promfie!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And what, may I ask, is a promfie?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's a selfie...at a prom! You know, a promfie?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Ah, so that makes this your promfie stick.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Yes, it's my promfie stick.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- OK, after three.- Will we do it? - Yes, let's do it. Here we go.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58One... two... three...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Go! CAMERA CLICKS
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Nice!- Very good.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04OK, look, before we do another promfie,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- can I just check something out here?- What?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- So, we're now in the audience, right?- Yes, yes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12That is the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13It is. Watch. Cooee!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15ORCHESTRA: Cooee!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- You see?- But who, may I ask, are all those other people,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- little people up there?- The multicoloured ones up there?- Yeah.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Ah, they, my friend, that is
0:20:23 > 0:20:27the awesome Ten Pieces Children's Choir, and it's the perfect time
0:20:27 > 0:20:30to introduce them because they're going to sing for us.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Oh, yeah, great. It's a piece a lot of you will already know.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37MUSIC BEGINS Maybe you've heard it on the opening of the Champions League,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39or maybe you've just sung it in the shower.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It's a piece that was written by George Frideric Handel
0:20:42 > 0:20:46in 1727 for the coronation of George II,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50and it's been played on very special days ever since.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54And today is definitely a very special day,

0:29:45 > 0:29:48- I was just getting this. - Ooh, nice bag.- Yes.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- What's in it? - This, my little friend...- Yes.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55..is my very own homemade French horn.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- French horn?- Yes, because next, the orchestra are going to play
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- a horn concerto.- Ah, concerto. Now, I know what a concerto is.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- and they perform, they're the star for that piece.- Exactly.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16I've made a homemade one, which looks a little bit like this.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Yes. And as you can see... - This is your horn?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- This is my horn.- Right. - As you can see,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24it takes on the same principles as a brass instrument.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's basically a long pipe wrapped round and round and round,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31with a mouthpiece at one end to blow into and a funnel at the other end
0:30:31 > 0:30:35where the sound comes out of to make it nice and loud.
