£4 Audience enjoyed a real treat


AN enthusiastic audience of more than 70 set the Christmas season on the “right note”, when the Zephyr Ensemble of London played at the Clitheroe Concerts Society. The five young musicians, all players


for the major London orchestras, were chosen to play for the both Her Majesty, the Queen ahd later Prince Charles at his 50th birthday celebrations. It was easy to see and hear why. The concert started with the lively


“Three Shanties” by Malcolm Arnold, followed by an arrangement of the tune­ ful “Divertimento” by Haydn. Debussy’s attractive “Petit Suite” was followed by Paul Hindemith’s “Kleine Kammermusik No. 2” of 1924. Hindemith’s music has the reputation of being difficult to listen to, and the composer dour and humour­ less. This piece disproved both ideas! Rimsky-Korsakov’s extraordinary “Flight of the Bumblebee” ended the first half, the skill of the musicians producing as much of a buzz as'the bee itself. . The'major piece of the concert.

Reicha’s Quintet in D major op. 91 no. 3, started the second half of the evening; Evgeny Chebykin, the quintet’s horn player, explaining th a t Czech born French composer Anton Reicha, a life­ long friend of Beethoven, pioneered the combination of clarinet, flute, oboe, bas­ soon and French Horn, which is familiar today. The final piece was the variations on "West Country folk songs, “'Westerly Winds” written in 1998 by Paul Patter­ son. The movement based on Linden Lea was particularly memorable. The enthusiasm of the audience was

rewarded by an encore: “Charleston”, a movement from Norman Hallam’s “Dance Suite”. This really set the feet tapping and the references to “Chimes Blues” and Savoy Blues”, played on the French horn rather than the trumpet and trombone respectively, were simply aston­ ishing.

A day out for all the family by Heather Eckton


NOT even wet weather could extinguish the fes­ tive spirit at this year’s Clitheroe Lantern festival and Farmers’ Market on Sunday. Children packed the


streets and paraded up to Glitheroe Castle’s Labrinth finding their way with the light of their handmade lanterns. The Keepers of the


Castle festival is set to become an annual specta­ cle;


Local artists visited


schools in Clitheroe and surrounding villages to help make the lanterns, while stewards were on' hand along the route to re-light tea-lights. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s tourism and arts officer, Rebecca Kay, said: “Despite the sogginess of


.weVe g o t it. '~ p j


the day, spirits were still high.” Short speeches were given by Ribble Val­ ley Mayor Peter Ainsworth and the High Sheriff of Lancashire, Peter Robinson, as well as perfomances by band Bo Jangles, pictured above, who led the procession. The Keepers of the Cas­ tle Group decided to start the event to raise aware­ ness of the Clitheroe Cas­ tle Heritage Scheme.

THE best thing about Christmas must surely be the parties, the get- togethers where you can let your hair down. 'While the booze helps a party


along no end, it's the music that really makes it, getting everyone into the festive spirit while they drink the festive spirit. "The key to having a successful


party is the music," says HMV's Gennaro Castaldo. "Make sure you play the right songs for the right audience. What really goes down well at the office party won't always get a good reaction from younger partygoers." A good mix of old classics with


new stuff from the past year is the perfect soundtrack to the perfect Christmas party. "The music needs to be really


upbeat with lots of chart hits, to get everybody dancing," says Gen­ naro. "Then mix in a few Christ­ mas favourites and ballads later on, when everybody needs to slow down."


■ OFFICE PARTY This ultimate Christmas party


is usually a drunken affair that will need tried-and-tested cheesy tracks to prolong the fun. For all those classic tracks from


the 80s and 90s th a t will have party-goers bellowing along, try “The Very Best Of School Reunion”, which contains classics from the likes of Queen, Kylie and Billy Idol, or “Now That's What I Call No Is” for No 1 hits from 80s, 90s and 00s. And for that, “Oh my God, I've


not heard this for years” moment try “Ultimate Boy Bands” for some retro and recent pop- flavoured cheese.


■ TEENAGERS For fussy teenagers try a mix of


pop, R&B, rock and dance music to keep each one happy. Hit compilations such as “Now


65” and “Pop Party 4” should pro­ vide all the latest chart tunes, while there's a slew of R&B compi­ lations such as “The R&B Year­ book 2006” and “Massive R&B: Winter Collection 2006.” v Rock music has overshadowed


most other genres over the past year and there's plenty of rock compilations to soundtrack a rock lover's party. 9 Continued on page 23
