Music 101 for Saturday 29 November 2014

2-3pm

Temuera Morrison
Dr Hone Ropata, Jake Heke, Jango Fett… Temuera Morrison is best known for his film and television work, but he's now turned his attention to a set of sing-along classics from musicians like Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley and The Beatles, plus his take on classic Maori love song 'E Ipo'. Morrison tells us about how being a member of the Morrison entertainment dynasty steered his selections.

A Day in My Mind's Mind
A Day In My Mind's Mind began last decade as a series of compilation albums focused on the local psychedelic pop of the late 60s and early 70s. Now the pick of those tracks have been released on a two-disc vinyl set. Nick Bollinger went to the launch at Auckland's Real Groovy Records, on their 33 and a ⅓ birthday, and caught up with the album's curator, Grant Gillanders, and a few veterans of New Zealand's psych-pop past.

The Secret Life of Conductors
The most prestigious and yet misunderstood role in the orchestra must be that of the conductor. They are a lightning rod for the music, whether it was written two hundred years ago or just last week. Without the conductor the musicians might not even play a note on stage. Without the orchestra though, the conductor is just a smartly dressed person waving a stick around. Together they're capable of creating an intoxicating alchemy for the ears.

In The Secret Life Of Conductors we find out about the art of conducting from some of New Zealand's well known Maestros: Marc Taddei and Hamish McKeich, who both work with all of Aotearoa's orchestras regularly; NZ Opera musical director Wyn Davies; and up and coming assistant director with the New Jersey Symphony, Gemma New.
