David Munrow, the mad english pixie who single-handedly introduced mediaeval and renaissance music to a twentieth century audience back in the 60s and 70s, put together a soundtrack to go with a documentary film about the belgian cyclist, Eddy Merckx

and this piece off that album fills us with so much joy it's hard to explain - he's playing on a chalemeau, the renaissance predecessor to the clarinet, which only had one octave and sounds a lot brighter than a modern clarinet - but this is such a happy dance tune, and does evoke pelting up and down french hills on a bicycle, to us at least

this guy - his enthusiasm was so infectious, he certainly managed to infect us with a love for both his music and him, when we were 9 and very randomly saw him perform in a swedish church one summer

From the soundtrack to the film version of ‘The Six Wives of Henry VIII”

I always feel so sorry for Catherine in this scene - She is being questioned by Archbishop Cranmer who tries to get her to confess to pre contract with Francis Dereham. Catherine refuses to acknowledge any existing attachment, but is then wrong footed by the Archbishop as he reveals that he knows about Catherine’s relationship with Thomas Culpepper. The music brilliantly reflects the Queen’s growing panic as she realises that there is no escape for her and that she is going to face the same fate as Anne Boleyn 👑🪓

PHOTO 45: David Munrow - Henry VIII Suite EP (BBC)

Bought an equvilant LP by multi-instrumenatlist David Munrow with Elizabethean/Tudor type instruments for my brother and for him to make samples, on which Henry VIII is credited with an array of tracks as songwriter. Though Henry was known to play the Lute I believe he may have accreditted himself with other peoples work, unsure either way. This BBC Records 45 is the second ive found the other a soundtrack. If you come across BBC recordings I'd recommend picking them up as there lies something good.

1970.
