0:00:06 > 0:00:08- KIDS:- Something's coming.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10It's music.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14- Exciting.- Enchanting.- Magical. - Mysterious.- Beautiful.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Brilliant music.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18It's our music.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23And it's here now, in the Royal Albert Hall.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Because this is...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- ALL:- The Ten Pieces Prom!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22APPLAUSE
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That was Bach's Toccata played for us
0:03:26 > 0:03:29by the wonderful Wayne Marshall.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35What a fantastic way to open our concert.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Well, welcome, everyone, to our very special Ten Pieces Prom.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41I'm Naomi Wilkinson
0:03:41 > 0:03:45and I'm sure lots of you will recognise the orchestra behind me.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48They are, of course, the stars of the Ten Pieces film.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50And as you can see, they are poised,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54ready to play their musical socks off for you once again.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56The BBC Philharmonic with leader Yuri Torchinsky
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and their conductor, the amazing Alpesh Chauhan.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02APPLAUSE
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So, are you all ready to hear this brilliant orchestra?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- AUDIENCE:- Yes!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well, what if you couldn't?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23What if you couldn't listen to the music you wanted to
0:04:23 > 0:04:26or make the music you loved?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Imagine that?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Imagine you're the composer of our next piece, Dmitri Shostakovich.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38From the 1930s, for two decades, like all Russians,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41he's ruled over by an evil dictator,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Joseph Stalin.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Imagine waiting in the night, your heart racing,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51waiting for the fist knocking on the door,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54waiting to be taken away or killed
0:04:54 > 0:04:59because you've dared to write the music that you believed in,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02because Shostakovich did dare.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05ORCHESTRA PLAYS
0:06:52 > 0:06:54APPLAUSE
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Shostakovich's Symphony Number 10, choreographed and performed
0:06:58 > 0:07:01by these incredible dancers from Wildern School in Southampton.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Time for the next of our ten pieces. Alpesh, which one do you fancy?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Ahem!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12If one were to be asked...
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Joseph Haydn, JH at your service.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The late Joseph Haydn?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I thought I was spot on time, actually.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Composer Joseph Haydn? - The very same.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So excited to be back in London again after,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29well, 220 years, to be precise.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33So...what do you fancy?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I've got over 100 symphonies, 68 string quartets,
0:07:37 > 0:07:4147 keyboard sonatas, 398 folk song arrangements,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- a techno rap...- Techno rap?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Yes, to be honest, that one's still in development.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Do you know what, Haydn? I think I'd better go and check
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and see if we've actually got time for this.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh. Ah, would you like to hear a little something new
0:07:54 > 0:07:56that I've been working on this morning?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- AUDIENCE:- Yes!- Fantastic.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02We'll all learn the melody together. So...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Now you. - HE SINGS MELODY
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Very good.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15HE SINGS MELODY
0:08:15 > 0:08:17OK, and...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22THEY SING MELODY
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Now, let's hear them all together.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30HE PLAYS Match Of The Day Theme
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Now you! - THEY SING
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Ah!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Ah! - AUDIENCE CHEER
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK, OK.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Ah, I think I might have another hit on my hands.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I'm not too sure, I think that piece might have been written already.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Let me introduce myself. Mr Dion Dublin.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Used to play a bit of football
0:09:33 > 0:09:34when I was a lot younger.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Played for...Leicester City?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38SOME CHEERS
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Norwich City? - SOME CHEERS
0:09:40 > 0:09:42There's one in.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- England? - AUDIENCE CHEER
0:09:45 > 0:09:47That's amazing!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50You've scored almost as many goals for those teams
0:09:50 > 0:09:52as the number of symphonies I've written.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Joseph Haydn, JH at your service.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I know your name, I know that name. Haydn, Haydn, hold it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00You've got an amazing track record.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Always on the top of the list when it comes to composers.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05There you are.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06To get those kinds of results
0:10:06 > 0:10:08takes great players, Mr Dublin.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And today, my new signing
0:10:10 > 0:10:14will be making her first team debut here at the Proms.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17THEY CHEER
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I think it's time to kick off.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Our brand-new superstar striker, Matilda Lloyd.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15APPLAUSE
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Our Premier League trumpeter, the fabulous Matilda Lloyd.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Right, so, Alpesh, next, I think we should have something big.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Something epic, something by Richard Wagner.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51ORCHESTRA PLAYS OUT OF TUNE
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Is there a problem? Sorry, I'm not quite sure.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00For some reason, we can't seem to make the Wagner work.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It seems to be broken.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oh, I'm really sorry, everybody, about this.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I've just been told Newsround's Leah Boleto is on the case
0:13:08 > 0:13:12trying to find out why it is we have this Wagner breakdown on our hands.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I think we can join her right now. Leah, are you there?
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Yes, Naomi.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'm in central London, where reports are coming through
0:13:22 > 0:13:26that rings of golden light are appearing throughout the city.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29They seem to be forming on round objects
0:13:29 > 0:13:30like this shop sign in Hackney.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34These bicycles near Piccadilly have also been affected.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Now, it's too early to know if there's a connection
0:13:37 > 0:13:39between this strange activity
0:13:39 > 0:13:40and the Wagner breakdown
0:13:40 > 0:13:42that you're experiencing,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44but I'll be investigating this story
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and I'll bring you the very latest
0:13:46 > 0:13:47developments as I get them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, let's hope we hear more news from Leah quickly.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Meanwhile, we've got some young musicians
0:13:54 > 0:13:57from the Greater Manchester Music Hub joining us.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59They're going to be playing side-by-side
0:13:59 > 0:14:02with the BBC Philharmonic and they're going to whisk us away
0:14:02 > 0:14:05to the sizzling sun of southern Spain.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09That's where Georges Bizet wrote his opera Carmen,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12a story with more love, death and betrayal in it
0:14:12 > 0:14:14than a whole year of EastEnders.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16LAUGHTER
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Let's say a massive thank you to our super-talented young musicians
0:16:22 > 0:16:24from the Greater Manchester Music Hub.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Naomi, I'm here by the river
0:16:30 > 0:16:34because this is where a whirlwind has just swept through.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I've never seen anything like it in my life. I was just metres away.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44A figure covered in golden light rushing by in a blur of noise.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49I'm also told of sightings of mysterious creatures quite similar
0:16:49 > 0:16:51coming up all over London.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55In fact, they've just been seen near here, at Big Ben.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Now, according to one expert I've been speaking to,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01these creatures are actually mistaking all these round objects
0:17:01 > 0:17:03for something else that they're looking for.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05A ring, but not any ring.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07This ring gives the owner
0:17:07 > 0:17:09the power to rule the world.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11But I'm getting reports that
0:17:11 > 0:17:12that ring is now missing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Surely this can't be a coincidence,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16happening at the same time
0:17:16 > 0:17:18as your Wagner breakdown.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20It was Wagner who wrote four operas
0:17:20 > 0:17:24in which dwarves, giants, dragon slayers and gods
0:17:24 > 0:17:27all battle it out, Lord Of The Rings style,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29to be the owner of this very same ring.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Now, we can't say for certain - thank you -
0:17:31 > 0:17:33but I've just been handed this.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yes, telling me that the authorities
0:17:35 > 0:17:39are giving these mysterious creatures a name.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40One word, Valkyries.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43CRACKLING NOISE
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Some very strange sounds in that news report from Leah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48We'll keep our fingers crossed
0:17:48 > 0:17:51we'll be able to play that Wagner piece for you soon.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Meanwhile, we need some music.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's got to be big, exciting...
0:17:56 > 0:17:57And on the violin!
0:17:57 > 0:18:01In fact, actually, it's the music by Giuseppe Verdi.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Oh, fiddlesticks. - It's called Dies Irae.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Yes, two little words, huge consequences.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15"Dies" means day in Latin, "Irae" is wrath or anger.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Day of judgment!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22It's almost impossible to explain how powerful this song is.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You don't stop and think about it, it just instinctively...
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You feel it in your body.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30It will really make you feel small and insignificant
0:18:30 > 0:18:32in a really good way.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34It's going to be big and it's going to be scary
0:18:34 > 0:18:36and it's going to be great.
0:18:41 > 0:18:50- ALL:- # Dies irae! Dies irae!
0:18:56 > 0:19:04# Dies irae, dies illa!

0:22:37 > 0:22:40APPLAUSE
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The incredible Ten Pieces Choir!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Now, music's always evolving, it's never standing still,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and our next piece proves that 100%.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It was written just a few years ago
0:23:01 > 0:23:04by English composer Gabriel Prokofiev.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09To play Gabriel's Concerto For Turntables And Orchestra,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12please give a Royal Albert warm welcome
0:23:12 > 0:23:16to the four-time world champion DJ, Mr Switch.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19APPLAUSE
0:26:24 > 0:26:27BIRDS CHIRP
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Listen! Can you hear something?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Look up. Up to the roof.
0:26:35 > 0:26:41Imagine it fading away, opening up to a beautiful blue sky
0:26:41 > 0:26:44over rolling green fields and there...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- ..can you hear... - SOLO VIOLIN PLAYS
0:26:49 > 0:26:51..a lark?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56And there's a composer, Vaughan Williams, too,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58walking in the fields,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01dreaming of a melody he'll write for the violin,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05that'll soar and climb just like the bird.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07And he will write it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12But not yet.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The First World War interrupts his dream
0:27:15 > 0:27:20and Vaughan Williams goes to help on the battlefields in France.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24And as the soldiers look up from the trenches, sometimes,
0:27:24 > 0:27:29one of the few birds they can see high, higher,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32higher on the breeze is the lark.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39They can hear its song, reminding them of happier days.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51APPLAUSE
0:31:01 > 0:31:07Marvellous! That one lark could inspire all that beautiful music.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11A memory, a poem, a story, a feeling,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14they can all inspire you to make music.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Or what about a picture?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24A few years ago, English composer Anna Clyne
0:31:24 > 0:31:30saw an image in her mind of a dark, turbulent wave.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33And the first thing she did was to paint it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38But Anna soon found herself wanting to turn that painting into music,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42and soon, there emerged a night ferry.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11APPLAUSE
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Dion, Naomi, things are moving
0:33:14 > 0:33:16really fast out here at the moment.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19We know that there are Valkyrie sightings all across London.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22We just don't know where they will appear next.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I've spoken to one Wagner expert who has told me
0:33:25 > 0:33:28normally in Wagner's opera,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31the role of the Valkyrie is to search the battlefields
0:33:31 > 0:33:34to find fallen heroes, to take them away
0:33:34 > 0:33:36to guard the home of the Gods.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40But today, I'm getting reports that the search is only
0:33:40 > 0:33:44for that missing ring, to try to return it to its home in the river.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48And what I'm being told is that unless the ring is returned there,
0:33:48 > 0:33:53this strange activity and your Wagner breakdown is set to continue.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58So, this is able to track the heat signals given off by the Valkyries.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59The thing is, for most of the day,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02the Valkyries have been scattered all over London.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05But now, they're all heading in the same direction
0:34:05 > 0:34:07to what actually looks like a ring on the map.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I think it's quite close...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12..to where I'm standing.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Nao...
0:34:15 > 0:34:17We seem to have lost Leah there.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19We will try and get back to her.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Meanwhile, in the nick of time,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23our special guests have arrived on stage.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Yes, we're all here because of you.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30All over the country, you've been creating your own digital art,
0:34:30 > 0:34:34animation, performance poetry, dance and a lot of music
0:34:34 > 0:34:37in response to the ten pieces that we're hearing today.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12APPLAUSE
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Thank you to our brilliant young musicians and performers today,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18all inspired by the Ten Pieces.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Is that just me, Lemn, or did you see those lights flickering?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Naomi, I'm here in the Royal Albert Hall
0:37:26 > 0:37:29because reports are coming in now that the missing ring,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33the ring that Wagner's music is all about, is in fact here.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36It's the perfect-shaped building for it to hide in
0:37:36 > 0:37:40and it would explain why the music has been behaving so strangely.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Keep your eyes open for the Valkyries.
