I took two (out of a sequence of three) classes in the "Music Theory for Nonmajors" series as an undergrad. And, more than fifty years ago, I was first chair trombone in the Clovis, NM all-city 6th grade band; we won a couple of competitions. Then we moved overseas, I wasn't motivated to keep up with it with only a weekly private lesson, and I dropped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Vangelis, the composer who wrote the scores for Blade Runner, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, and of course Chariots of Fire, can't read music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think it wasn't until the late Nineties that Paul McCartney learned to write musical notation. I'm unsure if he could read it before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 As my science teacher friend Pariah is a big fan of Carl Sagan’s series Cosmos, it occurred to me that he probably would be also interested in Jacob Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man. Released in 1973, it is the sequel to Ken Clark’s Civilisation released in 1969. Both series are 13 episodes each. Civilisation is the first of the single-presenter-on-a-theme documentary format and has been used subsequently, eg Cosmos. Civilisation’s theme is civilisation (dur) but really it is the culture by examining its art (at Ken Clark was a highly successful art historian), and The Ascent of Man’s theme is the history of science and technology. Both series were placed in the British Film Institute‘s 100 Greatest World Television Programmes and was voted by industry professionals and the list was drawn up on the year 2000. However as as you might guess, they may be hard to come by today. I watched Civilisation a few years ago, and was blown away by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the Clark series (I was in an environment without TV at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm also a fan of James Burke's Connections series. I like to show the opening episode to my students early in the year. tkdguy and Bazza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
