the music of the spheres is all around you

[prof_pangaea]

because everyone's a musician; everyone's got a song inside them:

Watch on YouTube

ETA: now with live soundtrack from the proms!

ahahahaha yes! that made me so happy. ^___^

the entirety of the doctor who prom can be found at the bbc's website here:
part one
part two

and it is hosted by the lovely freema agyeman! the music of the spheres bit above is about 40 or so minutes into part one (and thus you can hear the audience participation, which is awesome).

ok i haven't heard all of it yet, but a programe that includes both a bbc presenter saying "well, i've never seen a dancing cyberman before" and also prokofiev's romeo and juliet is a good one to me. although i do wish murray gold would lay off the electric guitars a bit. (HE DOESN'T PUT THEM INTO PROKOFIEV, DON'T WORRY).

also, i was unreasonably happy when they played the original theme music over the end credits for music of the spheres. so, to celebrate ron grainer and the bbc radiophonic workshop, here is a link to the entire piece:

original doctor who theme, by ron grainer

it is literally my favourite piece of music ever. i had it on a cd that kels gave me in high school, and i would put it on repeat and look at star charts. sad but true. it's why i searched all over for the show and finally found it and started watching eight years ago. thanks, ron grainer.



(first episode i ever saw: TERROR OF THE ZYGONS)

it's nice to know that i played a small part in your discovery of doctor who. :)

you did! an instrumental part! well, i'm sure i would have discovered it at some point, but i treasure those days of puting the song on repeat and watching star charts be projected onto the darkened walls of my bedroom.

ALSO! sorry i just got your AIM messages! i was watching QI fullscreen and didn't get them until you'd already signed off. sorry! ;___;

i was just thinking about all of the really terrible presents i gave you in high school. (like the book by william shatner. yeesh.) i'm glad that at least one of them was enjoyed.

it's ok; i'll catch you on aim some other time. :)
