:00:42. > :00:47.festival. Welcome to the Last Night of the Proms 2014.

:00:48. > :00:53.We are in for a real treat tonight as we watch a Sabre Dance, take a

:00:54. > :01:00.visit to Plymouth Hoe and celebrate a special anniversary for everyone's

:01:01. > :01:06.favourite nanny, Mary Poppins. There are spectacular soloists in the form

:01:07. > :01:16.of Dutch violinist, Janine Jansen, Roderick Williams, and hotfoot from

:01:17. > :01:21.the West End, Ruthie Henshall. As ever, the festivities are

:01:22. > :01:27.spilling out well beyond the hall. There are 60,000 people celebrating

:01:28. > :01:32.with us tonight, from London's Hyde Park, in Northern Ireland at the

:01:33. > :01:38.Titanic Slipways in Belfast, they are enjoying the fun there, in Wales

:01:39. > :01:43.at Singleton Park in Swansea they have all been singing along, and in

:01:44. > :01:49.Scotland, the party is well under way on Glasgow Green.

:01:50. > :02:01.You can press your Red Button at any time to see highlights from the BBC

:02:02. > :02:06.Proms in the Park events. Or you can go to the BBC Proms website.

:02:07. > :02:13.Sakari Oramo, all the way from Finland, will be coming on stage any

:02:14. > :02:16.moment now to perform the famous Sabre Dance from Khachaturian's

:02:17. > :02:25.ballet, Gayane. And there he is. Coming on to the stage now, Sakari

:02:26. > :02:29.Oramo. He is going to be conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra in

:02:30. > :02:34.Khachaturian's fiendishly fast Sabre Dance. Let's go.

:02:35. > :04:58.MUSIC: Sabre Dance By Aram Khachaturian

:04:59. > :05:08.Loving it here in the Royal Albert Hall! That was Khachaturian's Sabre

:05:09. > :05:12.Dance performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari

:05:13. > :05:27.Oramo. What a way to get the party started! A special mention there to

:05:28. > :05:32.the leader, Natalie Chee, and also to the timpanist John Chimes. An

:05:33. > :05:38.amazing way to start the second half of Last Night of the Proms. Everyone

:05:39. > :05:40.is hugely excited. It is Sakari Oramo's first Last Night of the

:05:41. > :05:44.Proms. He calls it a remarkable institution and he did say to me he

:05:45. > :05:49.was looking forward to the second half when things can get a bit out

:05:50. > :05:56.of hand! That Sabre Dance by Khachaturian was his most famous

:05:57. > :06:04.work. Written in 1942, it was a ballet about a girl in rural

:06:05. > :06:08.Armenia. The piece went viral and the piece sold over a million copies

:06:09. > :06:14.in the USA alone. I can't tell you how many times you must have heard

:06:15. > :06:18.that piece covered, film scores, TV series. One thing struck me - how

:06:19. > :06:24.many times have you heard it as the soundtrack to figure skating? That

:06:25. > :06:31.is what I associate it with! Next, we will hear Janine Jansen. She will

:06:32. > :06:35.be coming on stage to perform Ravel's Tzigane. There she is,

:06:36. > :06:41.looking gorgeous. She's appeared twice this year already. She

:06:42. > :06:49.performed The Lark Ascending, she had her own Chamber Prom and she is

:06:50. > :06:58.loving being here tonight. MUSIC: Tzigane

:06:59. > :16:50.By Maurice Ravel Wow! Just listen to that cheering in

:16:51. > :16:58.the hall at the virtuosity displayed by Janine Jansen in Ravel's Tzigane,

:16:59. > :17:01.the gypsy rhapsody. Performing here at the Last Night of the Proms with

:17:02. > :17:06.the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari Oramo. She told

:17:07. > :17:16.me earlier how much she loves playing that piece.

:17:17. > :17:22.Well, there is no doubting Janine Jansen's virtuosity. She started

:17:23. > :17:27.playing the violin when she was six. She comes from a musical family. Her

:17:28. > :17:31.mother, her father, her brothers are all musicians. You know, it was the

:17:32. > :17:43.violin that Sakari Oramo played before he picked up his conductor's

:17:44. > :17:50.baton. Here she comes again. Everyone loves Janine. Look at the

:17:51. > :17:54.Orchestra clapping her as well. It was Sakari Oramo, who was the leader

:17:55. > :17:58.of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. He still plays. You might

:17:59. > :18:04.well have seen him and Janine playing a duet in Proms Extra

:18:05. > :18:10.earlier in the season. And she's obviously getting ready to play

:18:11. > :18:17.again now. I'm not sure where the conductor has got to, though. There

:18:18. > :18:33.he is! We might see another little flourish from him, too.

:18:34. > :21:38.A little bit of Proms history there. That was La Cucaracha, especially

:21:39. > :21:43.arranged for tonight's concert. The fabulous Janine Jansen joined by

:21:44. > :21:47.tonight's conductor, Sakari Oramo. Great friends, clearly. Huge fun

:21:48. > :21:56.they were having out there. They are now getting their special gifts,

:21:57. > :21:59.given to them by dedicated Prommers Simon and Jill Sylvester. They have

:22:00. > :22:06.been promming since 1971, apparently.

:22:07. > :22:12.What a great encore! I don't think anybody in the hall would mind if

:22:13. > :22:36.they did that all over again. Well, as we say farewell to Janine

:22:37. > :22:40.Jansen, we say hello to our other star soloist of the evening, the

:22:41. > :22:45.British baritone, Roderick Williams. He is not only one of the country's

:22:46. > :22:50.best-loved operastars, he's also an extremely good composer and we will

:22:51. > :22:57.be hearing him perform two of his arrangements of well-known American

:22:58. > :23:02.songs, starting with a classic African-American Spiritual, Joshua

:23:03. > :23:09.Fit the Battle of Jericho. If you were watching the first half, you

:23:10. > :23:14.heard Roderick performing in that Strauss cantata, Taillefer, a

:23:15. > :23:18.wonderful performance by him and his fellow soloists Elizabeth Watts and

:23:19. > :23:22.John Daszak. We also heard him talk about the big question for any

:23:23. > :23:27.soloist at the Last Night of the Proms, which is what do you wear

:23:28. > :23:31.when you are the soloist who is going to sing some of those party

:23:32. > :23:36.favourites at the end of the Prom? We don't know what he is going to

:23:37. > :23:39.appear in. As he said, he's spent more time worrying about that than

:23:40. > :23:46.he did worrying about what he was going to be singing. Well, here he

:23:47. > :23:54.is. Roderick Williams, with the multi-talented, Sakari Oramo.

:23:55. > :24:00.This time, we will be hearing him sing his arrangements of some

:24:01. > :24:20.classic American songs. # Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,

:24:21. > :24:24.Jericho, Jericho # Joshua fit the battle of

:24:25. > :24:27.Jericho # Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,

:24:28. > :24:36.Jericho, Jericho # Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

:24:37. > :24:41.And the walls come tumblin' down # You may talk about the men

:24:42. > :24:45.of Gideon # You may talk about the men

:24:46. > :24:47.of Saul # But there're none

:24:48. > :24:49.like good old Joshua # You may talk about the kings

:24:50. > :25:03.of Gideon # You may talk about the men

:25:04. > :25:05.of Saul # But there're none

:25:06. > :25:07.like good old Joshua # Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,

:25:08. > :25:10.Jericho, Jericho # Up to the walls of Jericho

:25:11. > :25:20.With sword drawn in his hand # Go blow them horns, cried Joshua

:25:21. > :25:35.The battle is in my hands # And the walls come tumblin' down,

:25:36. > :25:37.that mornin' # Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,

:25:38. > :25:41.Jericho, Jericho # Joshua fit the battle of

:25:42. > :25:54.Jericho # And the walls come tumblin'

:25:55. > :26:18.down, Roderick Williams, what a beautiful

:26:19. > :26:23.voice. How much is he enjoying himself, performing his own

:26:24. > :26:32.arrangement of the African-American Spiritual, Joshua Fit the Battle of

:26:33. > :26:34.Jericho? Next, we are going to hear him sing Jerome Kern's Ol' Man River

:26:35. > :27:13.from the musical Showboat. # There's an old man called the

:27:14. > :27:19.Mississippi. # That the old man that I'd like to

:27:20. > :27:24.be. # What does he care if the land

:27:25. > :27:28.ain't free? # Ol' Man River,

:27:29. > :27:35.that Ol' Man River # He must know somethin'

:27:36. > :27:42.but he don't say nothin' # He just keeps rollin',

:27:43. > :28:04.keeps on rollin' along. # He don't plant tatters,

:28:05. > :28:11.and he don't plant cotton # And them that plants 'em,

:28:12. > :28:20.are soon forgotten. # But Ol' Man River,

:28:21. > :28:42.just keeps rollin' along # Bodies all achin'

:28:43. > :28:56.and racked with pain # Tote that barge

:28:57. > :29:06.and lift that bail. # You get a little drunk

:29:07. > :29:21.and you lands in jail. # I'm tired of livin',

:29:22. > :29:38.feared of dyin' # And Ol' Man River,

:29:39. > :29:49.he just keeps rollin' # Just keeps rollin',

:29:50. > :30:19.just keeps rollin' along. Ol' Man River, Jerome Kern's song to

:30:20. > :30:23.the Mississippi from his musical Showboat, in a brand-new arrangement

:30:24. > :30:30.by tonight's soloist, Roderick Williams.

:30:31. > :30:37.Roddy is no stranger to the Proms, and he is hugely popular, as you can

:30:38. > :30:42.see. He was here last month, singing in the commemoration of the 100th

:30:43. > :30:47.anniversary of the outbreak of World War One. Five-star reviews from his

:30:48. > :30:54.performance then. That song we just heard, Ol' Man River, made famous by

:30:55. > :30:56.the great singer Paul Robeson in the 1936 film version of Showboat. A

:30:57. > :31:09.real American classic. Now, it has been 50 years since the

:31:10. > :31:15.classic Disney film Mary Poppins was released back in 1964. Who can

:31:16. > :31:20.forget Julie Andrews' star turn as the practically perfect nanny and

:31:21. > :31:25.the adventures she gets up with Jane and Michael Banks, alongside Dick

:31:26. > :31:29.van Dyke, the chimney sweep. The real stars of the show were the

:31:30. > :31:34.musical numbers by Robert and Richard Sherman. No childhood is

:31:35. > :31:36.complete without Let's Go Fly A Kite and

:31:37. > :31:40.Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! And speaking of

:31:41. > :31:41.Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, yes, that's

:31:42. > :31:44.Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, thank you very much, the BBC asked

:31:45. > :31:48.the young and the young at heart to send in their own footage to form a

:31:49. > :31:50.virtual choir. So, let us take a look at this very special

:31:51. > :32:11.performance. # Supercalifragilistic-

:32:12. > :32:14.expialidocious! # Even though the sound

:32:15. > :32:17.of it is something quite atrocious # If you say it loud enough,

:32:18. > :32:20.you'll always sound precocious # Supercalifragilistic-

:32:21. > :32:47.expialidocious! After that, I do hope you will join

:32:48. > :32:52.in at home as we celebrate the world's best-loved nanny, Mary

:32:53. > :32:57.Poppins. West End superstar, Ruthie Henshall, will be taking the role

:32:58. > :33:03.immortalised by Julie Andrews and leading the audiences here and

:33:04. > :33:08.around the country at the Proms in the Park events. Now, it is time for

:33:09. > :33:12.me to hand over the proceedings to tonight's conductor, he is also

:33:13. > :33:36.practically perfect in every way, Sakari Oramo.

:33:37. > :33:47.Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. AUDIENCE: Good evening. It is truly

:33:48. > :33:54.a great pleasure and honour for me to welcome you all to the Last Night

:33:55. > :33:56.of the Proms celebrations. All of those of you who are here in the

:33:57. > :34:22.Royal Albert Hall, welcome. And all of you watching and

:34:42. > :34:45.audiences in the four Proms in the Park venues around the UK - Glasgow.

:35:43. > :36:08.So, will you in the hall please at my sign join me in saying one big

:36:09. > :36:17."Hello, Parks" to them all? AUDIENCE: Hello, Parks!

:36:18. > :36:39.It's singalong time now, wherever you are. And tonight we have a world

:36:40. > :36:48.premiere, a new arrangement by Ann Dudley of hits from Mary Poppins by

:36:49. > :36:54.the Sherman brothers. The words will be up on the screen or in your

:36:55. > :36:55.programme. Please look out for the key changes in

:47:00. > :47:04.can watch them online. Belfast and Hyde Park will be re-joining us

:47:05. > :47:12.later. Here in the hall, we will be heading to the West Country next for

:47:13. > :47:16.a jaunty nautical overture by John Ansell called Plymouth Hoe

:47:17. > :47:22.incorporating some favourite old sea shanties - you will hear a familiar

:47:23. > :47:27.tune! It won't be the last time you will be hearing it tonight. Standing

:47:28. > :47:30.by for our conductor, Sakari Oramo, who had to go and calm down a little

:47:31. > :47:33.after that Mary Poppins medley. Here he is. He is having the time of his

:47:34. > :47:36.life! MUSIC: Plymouth Hoe

:02:04. > :02:06.You have just proved that Sir Henry Wood's vision to bring classical

:02:20. > :02:25.looking at us all throughout this Proms season, as it always does. So,

:02:26. > :02:29.while we take this moment to crown him with his traditional chaplet,

:02:30. > :02:37.let's have three cheers for Sir Henry. Hip, hip...

:02:38. > :02:47.AUDIENCE: Hooray. Hip, hip... Hooray. Hip, hip... Hooray! The

:02:48. > :02:55.Prommers doing the honours there - Peter Burke and David Holden.

:02:56. > :03:18.The Proms is the greatest music festival in the world. Let's salute

:03:19. > :03:24.those many superb soloists, orchestras, choirs, conductors,

:03:25. > :03:26.composers, who have appeared in this 2014 season.

:03:27. > :03:48.And let's give a special round of applause to tonight's performance,

:03:49. > :03:52.our soloists, Janine Jansen, Roderick Williams, Ruthie Henshall,

:03:53. > :03:56.Elizabeth Watts and John Daszak. Our composers, Gavin Higgins and Ann

:03:57. > :04:13.Dudley. The BBC Singers.

:04:14. > :04:44.APPLAUSE The BBC Symphony Chorus.

:04:45. > :05:06.APPLAUSE And the BBC Symphony Orchestra!

:05:07. > :05:47.APPLAUSE Once again, there have been huge

:05:48. > :05:50.audiences at the Proms. And as so many of the artists have said, you

:05:51. > :05:55.really are the greatest audience in the world!

:05:56. > :06:13.And a particular thanks to the Prommers down here.

:06:14. > :06:31.Because not only do they come to all the concerts, but they also collect

:06:32. > :06:37.large amounts of money to support musical charities and this year, you

:06:38. > :06:47.have raised an amazing ?89,700! So, I have been...

:06:48. > :07:38.AUDIENCE: More! I have been asked to also do a

:07:39. > :07:44.personal part of the speech tonight. It's kind of difficult for me

:07:45. > :07:59.because I'm Finnish and we don't talk very much! So, I...

:08:00. > :08:07.AUDIENCE: Ahh! Do you know how an introvert Finn

:08:08. > :08:19.addresses a Prom's audience in a speech? By looking at his shoes - do

:08:20. > :08:22.you know how an extrovert Finn addresses a Prom's audience? By

:08:23. > :08:41.looking at Prommers' shoes! But I feel really fantastic being

:08:42. > :08:44.here right now and that's because I'm here because of you, everybody's

:08:45. > :08:59.love for music. I - and I am sure many here and many

:09:00. > :09:05.in the Parks, and many watching or listening to us all around the world

:09:06. > :09:13.have got from their childhood homes as a constant heritage, a love for

:09:14. > :09:21.music. And that's very important because music is so many things.

:09:22. > :09:25.That is why I'm making a plea for children and young people's

:09:26. > :09:26.continued possibilities to be exposed to good and great classical

:09:27. > :09:50.music. There is fantastic work being done

:09:51. > :10:00.in many schools in this country and around the world on this subject.

:10:01. > :10:03.But, sadly, too many are left out. And the tendency nowadays,

:10:04. > :10:11.everywhere, the resources tend to go elsewhere than in music and arts,

:10:12. > :10:12.education. I just find that is losing some very important

:10:13. > :10:32.priorities. Music is not only, of course, about

:10:33. > :10:34.knowledge, theoretical aspects, but it's love and appreciation for the

:10:35. > :10:40.art and that is what we should all pass on to coming generations in

:10:41. > :10:45.whatever form. Music is so many things, as I said. It is

:10:46. > :10:53.mathematics. It is science. It's a universal language to those who are

:10:54. > :10:58.open for it. Music is history, it's culture, it's Physical Education,

:10:59. > :11:08.it's geography. Music develops inside. Music is therapy for those

:11:09. > :11:13.who need it. Music is a wonderful, high-speed, dual carriageway to a

:11:14. > :11:17.human mind and innermost emotions. That's, I think, we are all here

:11:18. > :11:20.for. We are all here to appreciate music and, yes, I will show my

:11:21. > :11:24.Finnish flag now at the back. It's a bit chilly here! Excuse me.
