The experiment about the effect by Imitational ivory parts on baroque oboe
When I researched the original baroque oboe called The Galpin @ Bate collection in Oxford, I noticed that the ivory mounts are heavier.
How does the heavier mounts affect to the sound of baroque oboe ?
We can listen the defference on this movie.
I attached the imitational ivory parts to same baroque oboe and I used same reed and same place where is my favorite.
However, the imitational ivory as the material is not enough, because the density is lower than the real ivory.
I guess, If we use the real ivory, we will be able to listen the defference more clearly.I

The Prince Regent's Band introduces the slide trumpet

The Prince Regent's Band perform the Sinfonia to Verdi's Nabucco
Henry Distin built up the Distin and Sons family firm, manufacturing a wide range of instruments, publishing music and doing much to support the growing British brass band movement. The final track in The Prince Regent's Band disc, The Celebrated Distin Family, reflects this with a brass band classic, the Sinfonia to Verdi's Nabucco arranged by Phil Dale for saxhorns and cornets.
Treble recorder made by Peter Bressan
Very few original 18th Century recorders survive in playing condition, and for conservation reasons those that can be played rarely are. Modern historically informed players depend on modern makers to approximate the sound and behaviour of these precious original instruments, and in turn the makers rely on measurements of original instruments.
The μ-VIS X-ray Imaging Centre had the opportunity to perform a CT scan of a treble recorder from the University of Oxford's Bate Collection. The recorder, made by Pierre Jaillard (or Peter Bressan, as he was known in England), is regarded as probably the most influential 18th Century recorder in any collection - private or public - anywhere in the world.
CT scanning delivered a set of measurements of this instrument with unprecedented detail, particularly with respect to the internal geometry of the recorder, throwing valuable light on Bressan's methods

In almost every culture of the world, there is a myth of how once there was a time when humankind lived at one with the natural environment until a fall divided us from our earthly home. Distinguished critic professor Sir Jonathan Bate explores this idea, across centuries, cultures and artistic forms, and asks how it can help us our understand our current crisis of sustainability.
Biographer, broadcaster, critic, and Shakespearean, Sir Jonathan Bate is professor and provost of Worcester College, Oxford University in the U.K.
The first lecture in the series, How the Humanities Can Save the Planet,” is the annual lecture of the ASU Environmental Humanities Initiative and part of Professor Bate’s spring 2019 ASU residency in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, with support from the Department of English and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Other lectures in the series are The End of the World as We Know It (Feb. 5) and Living Sustainably (Feb. 20). Together, these lectures explore how humanities thought can help generate imaginative solutions to environmental concerns.

Interview With Raymond Blackburn (1950)

SCU. & MS. People crowded around taxi as Raymond Blackburn arrives at Euston (3 shots). SCU. Mr Blackburn driving off in taxi. MS. Mr Blackburn with his two sons and daughter walking out into garden of their home at Chipstead, Kent. Several shots of the children. SCU. Mr Blackburn sends his two children off and walks towards camera. MS. Mr Blackburn walking up to microphone. MS. The herbaceous border in the garden. Mr Blackburn at microphone, starts speaking - natural sound: 'It is with a very sad heart that I have left the Labour Party, but this is not a time for party politics. We face a situation far more dangerous even that those desperate days of 1940. We must have a National Government and we must call in one of the greatest men of all time, Mr Winston Churchill, and give him a chance to prevent the war, which he would have prevented if he'd been made Prime Minister before 1939.' CU. 'We must be a united country. We live in the age of lack of faith but we must find the faith in ourselves and in our great country, which has often saved the world from danger and which I think will once again show itself an example to the whole world. We must retain the great things that the Labour Party has done, but we must also under a national government, succeed in unifying our people and thereby showing that we stand where we stood in 1940. There is no need for war. The war can be avoided, but it can only be avoided by the united strength, the determination, the vigour, and the enterprise of the British people.'

Cambridge Ideas - Strange Seas of Thought
A journey into Wordsworth's mind and the process of creation. We know about the experiments that have led to great scientific discoveries is widely recognised. But how much do we understand about the same processes in the arts? When the poet William Wordsworth died in 1850, few if none of the thousands of lines of poetry he left had escaped constant revision and alteration, and many of his most famous poems were never published. Cambridge researcher Ruth Abbott draws on the notebooks in which he left them to investigate the creative processes, attempts, and failures that go up to make great works of art.
