0:00:02 > 0:00:04So, you've bought your tickets for the cinema,

0:00:04 > 0:00:06the lights have gone down, and out of the darkness comes...

0:00:08 > 0:00:10..music.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Almost every movie starts with music which gives us a tremendous

0:00:13 > 0:00:16amount of information about the film we're going to see.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20About its actions, its moods, its characters.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22And tonight we're going to here the best of it,

0:00:22 > 0:00:27courtesy of conductor Keith Lockhart and the BBC Concert Orchestra.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Welcome to the Film Music Prom.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02This evening the great dome of the Royal Albert Hall

0:01:02 > 0:01:05will try to contain the sounds of Britain at War

0:01:05 > 0:01:07and the wonder, horror and mystery of outer space

0:01:07 > 0:01:12as we've heard them in so many classic movie soundtracks.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14I've always loved movie music,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17and it's a special privilege to hear it like this - in concert.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19To see how the orchestra's used

0:01:19 > 0:01:22and to relive the great moments of cinema.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Film music is a persuasive sound that speaks to everybody.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28When we hear it we immediately understand what it's telling us,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31it helps us to believe in a story we don't know,

0:01:31 > 0:01:34or a fantasy setting we haven't seen before.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37We'll be treated to some all-time classic space movie soundtracks

0:01:37 > 0:01:39from Alien to Independence Day,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42to probably the best-known piece of film music ever,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44the suite from Star Wars.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Before that, we celebrate the great works and composers

0:01:47 > 0:01:48of wartime Britain,

0:01:48 > 0:01:50including Richard Addinsell's

0:01:50 > 0:01:52marvellous Warsaw Concerto.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54During the Second World War and beyond,

0:01:54 > 0:01:57music was supporting strongly patriotic films

0:01:57 > 0:02:00that convinced British audiences to fight on against Hitler,

0:02:00 > 0:02:04or retrospectively glorified the exploits of the winning side.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Coming up shortly, William Walton's music for Battle of Britain,

0:02:07 > 0:02:12a 1969 film depicting the heroic events of 1940.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's a score that was in fact rejected

0:02:14 > 0:02:17by the United Artists studio, supposedly for being too short,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and a replacement - an excellent one, as it happens -

0:02:20 > 0:02:22commissioned from Ron Goodwin.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25But protests by the film's star Laurence Olivier

0:02:25 > 0:02:27meant that a couple of segments did eventually make it

0:02:27 > 0:02:29into the final cut.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31But we begin tonight's Prom

0:02:31 > 0:02:35with William Alwyn's march from The True Glory,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39a documentary feature directed by the great Carol Reed amongst others,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43and released in 1945 to mark the Allies' defeat of Germany.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47I don't seem to be able to remember anything but the French people.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51People beside the road, kids we couldn't stop to give candy to,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54FFI boys bringing in the Krauts from the fields,

0:02:54 > 0:02:57and farm workers waving as we went by.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Alwyn composed over 70 film scores during the '40s and '50s

0:03:00 > 0:03:03including Odd Man Out and Desert Victory,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06but this march is inspired by his time working -

0:03:06 > 0:03:10along with other composers including William Walton and Vaughan Williams -

0:03:10 > 0:03:15for the British Army Film Unit, composing for propaganda films.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16It's stirring stuff.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20APPLAUSE

0:03:22 > 0:03:26So, conductor Keith Lockhart joins the BBC Concert Orchestra

0:03:26 > 0:03:30to kick off tonight's Film Music Prom at the Royal Albert Hall,

0:03:30 > 0:03:33with William Alwyn's march from The True Glory.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29APPLAUSE

0:06:29 > 0:06:32William Alwyn's march from The True Glory.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Next up, William Walton's music originally intended

0:06:34 > 0:06:37as the soundtrack to the 1969 film Battle of Britain.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40APPLAUSE

0:17:43 > 0:17:46William Walton's original score for Battle of Britain.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49And yes, you did hear a cheeky quote from Wagner in there.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Upon hearing the decision to drop Walton,

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Director Guy Hamilton had shouted,

0:17:53 > 0:17:57"Next you'll want Frank Sinatra to sing Spitfires In The Night!"

0:18:07 > 0:18:11And now, a complete change of mood - a piece that's an oasis of calm,

0:18:11 > 0:18:14if you like, amongst the sounds of war.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Last year the great British composer Sir Richard Rodney Bennett

0:18:17 > 0:18:20died at his home in New York at the age of 76.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23He left behind him a body of work that is the envy of any composer -

0:18:23 > 0:18:27rich, challenging concert works, superb jazz compositions

0:18:27 > 0:18:30and over 50 scores for film and TV,

0:18:30 > 0:18:32three of which were nominated for Oscars.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35His superb period music for Murder on the Orient Express

0:18:35 > 0:18:38was played at the last Film Music Prom in 2011,

0:18:38 > 0:18:41but this time we turn to a score that is full of romantic yearning

0:18:41 > 0:18:44and warm, filmic breadth.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49Lady Caroline Lamb is a 1972 film written and directed by Robert Bolt,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51concerning the life of the notorious wife

0:18:51 > 0:18:53of Prime Minister Lord Melbourne,

0:18:53 > 0:18:55who counted Lord Byron amongst her many lovers.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Sir Richard's music was critically acclaimed

0:18:57 > 0:19:00whilst the film itself was not, to say the least.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06And here to play the Elegy for Lady Caroline

0:19:06 > 0:19:09that Sir Richard Rodney Bennett created from the themes of the film,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13is viola soloist Lawrence Power with conductor Keith Lockhart.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32ORCHESTRA TUNES INSTRUMENTS

0:36:20 > 0:36:23APPLAUSE

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Richard Rodney Bennett's Elegy for Lady Caroline Lamb.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36The viola player was Lawrence Power.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39And that's the beauty of a concert like tonight's -

0:36:39 > 0:36:43the rediscovery of a great work for viola in its own right.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Leighton Lucas was a British composer of film and concert works

0:37:29 > 0:37:31who was much admired by Benjamin Britten.

0:37:31 > 0:37:35he scored several war movies, and tonight we will hear the march

0:37:35 > 0:37:39he adapted from his score for 1958's Ice Cold in Alex.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29APPLAUSE

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Leighton Lucas's march from the soundtrack of Ice Cold in Alex.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35The suspenseful tone of the film's score

0:40:35 > 0:40:38breaking out into raucous celebration there, as the heroes,

0:40:38 > 0:40:42including John Mills and Sylvia Sims, outwit the Afrika Corps

0:40:42 > 0:40:46and finally approach the Ice Cold lager that awaits them in Alexandria.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54And so to our final piece of the first half,

0:40:54 > 0:40:56and a score that can claim to have done more than its fair share

0:40:56 > 0:40:59of propaganda work during the Second World War.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03Dangerous Moonlight was a hugely popular 1941 romantic weepy

0:41:03 > 0:41:06about a Polish concert pianist, played by Anton Walbrook,

0:41:06 > 0:41:09who joins the RAF and is wounded in action.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12PIANO CONCERTO PLAYS

0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's not safe to be out alone when the moon is so bright.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Can someone tell that to those Germans up there?

0:41:25 > 0:41:26They couldn't have heard you.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Oh, them? They never fly alone.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Come in, please. Close the door.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34What raised the film above the ordinary was the music

0:41:34 > 0:41:36the lead character played,

0:41:36 > 0:41:38a piano concerto written especially for the film

0:41:38 > 0:41:41by Richard Addinsell called the Warsaw Concerto.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43It had echoes of Rachmaninov,

0:41:43 > 0:41:46but still felt quintessentially British.

0:41:46 > 0:41:47RADIO: This is the BBC Home Service.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Switch off the wireless. Quickly, switch it off!

0:41:50 > 0:41:51What's the matter?

0:41:51 > 0:41:53The lights, too.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56PIANO CONCERTO PLAYS

0:42:09 > 0:42:11You know what it is, that music?

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Yes, Warsaw Concerto. I've got the records.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17This may be the miracle we were talking about.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18It may.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20- I'd like to see it.- Come on.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22The recording, by Louis Kentner,

0:42:22 > 0:42:25the off-screen pianist in the film, sold in its thousands,

0:42:25 > 0:42:27and the piece became a staple of the concert platform

0:42:27 > 0:42:31because it showed wartime Britain a picture of itself that it liked -

0:42:31 > 0:42:35determined, brave, yet warm, passionate and honourable -

0:42:35 > 0:42:39unlike the cold, robotic killers they were facing across the Channel.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Listen.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44HE PLAYS WARSAW CONCERTO

0:42:57 > 0:43:01PLANES DRONE

0:43:01 > 0:43:02BOMB WHISTLES

0:43:02 > 0:43:03EXPLOSION

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Following the success of the film and its score,

0:43:06 > 0:43:09a whole slew of British films arrived in the late '40s

0:43:09 > 0:43:11with music at their heart.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14Love Story, featuring Hubert Bath's Cornish Rhapsody,

0:43:14 > 0:43:18The Glass Mountain, with a mini-symphony by Nino Rota...

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Over time these specially-written compositions

0:43:20 > 0:43:25were dubbed "tabloid concertos," and in the 70 years since the war,

0:43:25 > 0:43:28the Warsaw Concerto has been comprehensively dismissed

0:43:28 > 0:43:33as "light" music, a bewildering term I've never really understood.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36Tonight is only the Concerto's second Proms performance,

0:43:36 > 0:43:39and, thanks to the concert format,

0:43:39 > 0:43:41we can now judge its merits for ourselves.

0:43:45 > 0:43:49And here is tonight's soloist, Valentina Lisitsa

0:43:49 > 0:43:51and conductor Keith Lockhart.

0:43:51 > 0:43:56The BBC Concert Orchestra perform Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto

0:52:55 > 0:52:58APPLAUSE

0:53:04 > 0:53:07The soloist was Valentina Lisitsa.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto,

0:53:09 > 0:53:12as featured throughout the film Dangerous Moonlight.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19A superb piece of music, beautifully played.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Those themes are all earworms -

0:53:22 > 0:53:25once you hear them, they are lodged in one's memory for good.

0:53:31 > 0:53:34The lead character Stefan says to his girl in the film,

0:53:34 > 0:53:36"This music is you and me.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40"It's the story of the two of us in Warsaw, of us in America,

0:53:40 > 0:53:43"of us in... Where else, I don't know.

0:53:43 > 0:53:47"That's why I can't finish it." But finish it he does,

0:53:47 > 0:53:51and Richard Addinsell's music retains its power to this day.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05For the second half of tonight's Prom

0:54:05 > 0:54:08in the planetarium-like Royal Albert Hall,

0:54:08 > 0:54:10we move from the past into the distant future.

0:54:10 > 0:54:14Space and unknown life forms are our concern.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Science fiction has been the basis of thousands of movies

0:54:18 > 0:54:20from Metropolis back in 1927

0:54:20 > 0:54:22right through to this summer's blockbusters,

0:54:22 > 0:54:25Pacific Rim and Iron Man 3.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27With fantasy films like these,

0:54:27 > 0:54:30the music has always had one major job to do -

0:54:30 > 0:54:32to persuade us that what we are watching is real,

0:54:32 > 0:54:36that there really are such things as aliens, space travel

0:54:36 > 0:54:37and the Death Star.

0:54:37 > 0:54:40We'll hear the world premiere concert performance

0:54:40 > 0:54:43of themes from Michael Giacchino's Star Trek - Into Darkness,

0:54:43 > 0:54:46Bond composer David Arnold's music for Independence Day

0:54:46 > 0:54:50and the great Jerry Goldsmith's chilling score for Alien -

0:54:50 > 0:54:52the first full-blooded horror film

0:54:52 > 0:54:55set in a believable alien environment.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58And, to finish the evening, a performance of a score

0:54:58 > 0:55:01that's so well known, most of us can sing along with it -

0:55:01 > 0:55:05John Williams' Star Wars suite, featuring the Imperial March,

0:55:05 > 0:55:08the jazzy Cantina band from Han Solo's first scene

0:55:08 > 0:55:10and, of course, the Main Title

0:55:10 > 0:55:14that carries with it such wonderful echoes of the swashbuckling scores

0:55:14 > 0:55:16of Steiner and Korngold,

0:55:16 > 0:55:20but ushers in a world of adventure in a galaxy far, far away.

0:55:20 > 0:55:23But first, the film that changed the world of science fiction,

0:55:23 > 0:55:26and spawned the "serious" sci-fi movie -

0:55:26 > 0:55:32Stanley Kubrick's 1968 epic, 2001 A Space Odyssey.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Dealing with an astronaut's first contact with alien life forms

0:55:35 > 0:55:39it gave us a view of space and space travel that was more convincing

0:55:39 > 0:55:41than anything we'd seen before.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44However, the music Kubrick used

0:55:44 > 0:55:46had all existed long before the film was made.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49He wanted most scenes in the film to have no dialogue

0:55:49 > 0:55:53and so he binned the score specially written by Alex North,

0:55:53 > 0:55:57going instead with music he and we knew well.

0:55:57 > 0:56:00In one famous case, the last piece of music we would have expected.

0:56:00 > 0:56:04MUSIC: "By the Beautiful Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss

0:56:15 > 0:56:18So famous did the film and its score become

0:56:18 > 0:56:21that Richard Strauss' Sunrise from Also Sprach Zarathustra

0:56:21 > 0:56:23is for ever linked to 2001

0:56:23 > 0:56:26rather than the tone poem for which it was written.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29MUSIC: "Sunrise" by Richard Strauss

0:56:47 > 0:56:49But the composer who wrote possibly the most thrilling music

0:56:49 > 0:56:52for the film didn't even know it had been used.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55MUSIC: "Atmospheres" by Gyorgy Ligeti

0:56:59 > 0:57:03When he saw the film, Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti was astonished

0:57:03 > 0:57:06at the use of his 1961 piece Atmospheres

0:57:06 > 0:57:10to accompany astronaut Dave Bowman's hair-raising journey through time,

0:57:10 > 0:57:13as well as two other pieces he composed.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16Evidently he was not best pleased to hear his music used

0:57:16 > 0:57:19without his personal permission, nor that it was sharing a soundtrack

0:57:19 > 0:57:22with the two Strausses, whose music he detested.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25The reason for Kubrick's use of these pieces

0:57:25 > 0:57:28is that they were his temp tracks when he was making the film -

0:57:28 > 0:57:30that's the name given to pieces of existing music

0:57:30 > 0:57:33that directors and editors use to make a first cut to.

0:57:33 > 0:57:37They help to inform a scene and give some life to an early cut.

0:57:37 > 0:57:39And all too often directors fall in love with them,

0:57:39 > 0:57:42to the chagrin of so many composers.

0:57:42 > 0:57:46But in the case of 2001, you can't really argue with the final result.

0:57:49 > 0:57:52So, conductor Keith Lockhart comes back on to join

0:57:52 > 0:57:56the BBC Concert Orchestra as we venture into unknown territories

0:57:56 > 0:58:00for the second half of tonight's Film Music Prom at the Royal Albert Hall.

1:08:43 > 1:08:46APPLAUSE

1:08:50 > 1:08:52Three windows upon deep space,

1:08:52 > 1:08:56as featured in Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey.

1:08:56 > 1:08:58Ligeti's eerie Atmospheres,

1:08:58 > 1:09:03sandwiched between compositions by Strausses Richard and Johann II.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06Kubrick would go on to use other Ligeti pieces in his films

1:09:06 > 1:09:08The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13As we've seen, film music composers

1:09:13 > 1:09:15are sometimes casualties of the editing process,

1:09:15 > 1:09:19but often a movie director will commission from the same composer

1:09:19 > 1:09:20again and again.

1:09:20 > 1:09:23JJ Abrams' Star Trek - Into Darkness

1:09:23 > 1:09:26was one of this year's most eagerly-awaited action blockbusters.

1:09:27 > 1:09:29We're outgunned.

1:09:29 > 1:09:31Outnumbered.

1:09:32 > 1:09:34So, we come out shooting.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37- I am better.- At what?

1:09:37 > 1:09:38Everything.

1:09:44 > 1:09:46The film is scored by Michael Giacchino,

1:09:46 > 1:09:50whom Abrams gave his first break scoring the TV series Lost,

1:09:50 > 1:09:53and the composer is best known for his work with Pixar films,

1:09:53 > 1:09:57particularly The Incredibles and Up, which won him an Oscar.

1:09:57 > 1:10:00In this piece, Giacchino provides the musical voice

1:10:00 > 1:10:03of Benedict Cumberbatch's sinister character, John Harrison.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05Although, if you've seen the film,

1:10:05 > 1:10:08you'll know that's not the name we will come to know him by.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10Evidently Giacchino wrote the music

1:10:10 > 1:10:14after seeing Benedict on set playing the part.

1:10:14 > 1:10:18Here it is, then - the world premiere of the Ode to Harrison Suite

1:17:09 > 1:17:12APPLAUSE

1:17:16 > 1:17:19Michael Giacchino's Star Trek Suite.

1:17:23 > 1:17:27Next up, Independence Day was David Arnold's second collaboration

1:17:27 > 1:17:29with director Roland Emmerich.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32His passionate score sums up both the implacable aliens

1:17:32 > 1:17:35who threaten to take over the Earth, and the spirited defence

1:17:35 > 1:17:39mounted by the likes of Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith.

1:17:39 > 1:17:43Here's the End Title Suite which includes all the film's main themes,

1:17:43 > 1:17:46from terrifying bombast to slow, lyrical passages

1:17:46 > 1:17:50reminiscent of the wartime films we heard in the first half.

1:22:14 > 1:22:16APPLAUSE

1:22:20 > 1:22:23Wow, David Arnold's Independence Day.

1:22:25 > 1:22:30Now for a change of mood - Ridley Scott's 1979 thriller Alien.

1:22:30 > 1:22:34Jerry Goldsmith's one of film's brightest musical stars,

1:22:34 > 1:22:37and he brings massive conviction to the movie

1:22:37 > 1:22:39with a spare, understated score.

1:22:39 > 1:22:42But tonight we have the End Title,

1:22:42 > 1:22:45a mournful trumpet motif grows into a huge sound

1:22:45 > 1:22:50that is still full of questions, even after this terrifying film is over.

1:26:06 > 1:26:08APPLAUSE

1:26:11 > 1:26:14Jerry Goldsmith's music from the movie Alien.

1:26:17 > 1:26:20Now for the film composer who is the bridge

1:26:20 > 1:26:24between the greats of the '30s, Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold,

1:26:24 > 1:26:28and today's blockbuster fantasy films - John Williams.

1:26:28 > 1:26:32Throughout the 1970s, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg made movies

1:26:32 > 1:26:36that harked back to their own early movie-going days at Saturday matinees

1:26:36 > 1:26:39when they would sit in wonder watching aliens from another world

1:26:39 > 1:26:42and adventurers searching for treasure.

1:26:42 > 1:26:44So it's no surprise that in mining those genres

1:26:44 > 1:26:47for the likes of Indiana Jones and Star Wars,

1:26:47 > 1:26:51Williams went back to the music they would have heard at the time.

1:26:51 > 1:26:55Star Wars has leitmotifs, that is, themes for all the major characters -

1:26:55 > 1:26:58we recognise Luke and Obi-Wan by their themes,

1:26:58 > 1:27:03but in particular Darth Vader, whose march has become familiar to us all.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06Part of the charm of the film was in the jokey alien life forms,

1:27:06 > 1:27:10particularly the band that plays in the bar in Han Solo's first scene,

1:27:10 > 1:27:13which we will also hear tonight,

1:27:13 > 1:27:15and then there's that Main Theme,

1:27:15 > 1:27:18unforgettably blasting out as the on-screen text

1:27:18 > 1:27:23of "The Story So Far" disappeared off into deep space.

1:27:23 > 1:27:26And the franchise shows no sign of flagging.

1:27:27 > 1:27:30John Williams' great gift is for melody,

1:27:30 > 1:27:33melody that sticks in the mind and appears to sum up the whole movie

1:27:33 > 1:27:37in one musical idea - and he has done that again and again

1:27:37 > 1:27:41over the years, winning five Oscars, including for this score,

1:27:41 > 1:27:43Star Wars.
