WIN HOWARD GOODALL’S LATEST ALBUM THE SEASONS AS FEATURED ON ITV1 THE SEASONS WITH ALAN TITCHMARSH
We have teamed up with EMI Classics to offer you the chance to win a copy of Howard Goodall’s original soundtrack to the four-part natural history series on ITV1 ‘The Seasons’ with Alan Titchmarsh.
Goodall’s The Seasons was released on 17 May 2010 to coincide with the ITV broadcasts. Last year, Goodall, an award-winning composer, acclaimed broadcaster and Classic FM radio Composer-in-Residence was named Classical BRIT Composer of the Year for his best-selling Eternal Light: A Requiem, released by EMI in 2008.
Describing the background to his new composition, Goodall says, “Several composers over the centuries have responded musically to the idea of the changing seasons, most notably Vivaldi. Haydn, Spohr, Verdi, Glazunov and Tchaikovsky, but I believe I am the first composer to create my Seasons suite over the period of a year in the respective seasons themselves.
I would like to take credit for this approach, but in all honesty the season-by-season time scale was dictated by the filming schedule of the ITV series ‘The Seasons’ with Alan Titchmarsh, for which the suite provides a soundtrack.”
In this brand new four part series for ITV1, everyone’s favourite gardener, Alan Titchmarsh went back to his roots to find out how our changing seasons affect everything around us. The series reveals the profound and far-reaching impact that each season has on our wildlife and landscape, and how they shape the way we all live. You can order The Seasons now at Amazon!
