Yeah, I have no idea where to put this, so sorry if I'm way off here... feel free to move it or... whatever.

Maybe this could be a thread for the work Paul is currently doing? I dunno.


Check this out, for those of you who haven't already seen it. Paul did a duet set to come out on Tony Bennett's new album (to be released September 26). There is video of the two of them on Amazon.com. Click here to watch.

:loveanim: Soooo good...

Paul McCartney
Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart)
World Premiere Performance at The Royal Albert Hall
Friday November 3rd 2006


Today Paul McCartney announces the world premiere performance of his new classical album Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). Ecce Cor Meum is a work for chorus and orchestra in four movements.

Ecce Cor Meum will be performed by Kate Royal (soprano); Academy of St Martins In The Fields Orchestra; London Voices; Boys Of Magdalen College Choir, Oxford and Boys of King’s College Choir, Cambridge. They will be conducted by Gavin Greenaway. This is the same cast that appears on the studio recording, which is released by EMI Classics on September 25th.

Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart) is Paul’s fourth classical album since his first was released in 1991, The Liverpool Oratorio. The album has been more than eight years in the making and its origins follow in the historic tradition of composers that have been commissioned to write music for the world-renowned Magdalen College Oxford. Paul was specially invited by Anthony Smith (President of Magdalen College 1998 – 2005) to compose something to set the seal on a new concert hall for the college. His hope was for ‘a choral piece which could be sung by young people the world over, in the same way that Handel’s Messiah is’.

In November 2001, the first version of Ecce Cor Meum was given its preview performance by the Magdalen College Choir, which was conducted by Bill Ives at the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford. This was a great learning experience for Paul. “Eventually I made it all come together through correcting a lot of misapprehensions – a lot was learned before the Sheldonian performance, but a lot of it was learned afterwards. An experienced choral composer knows that children can’t be given huge sustained passages; they don’t have the energy and the stamina. At the Sheldonian there was some quite hard stuff that I didn’t realise because I’d done it on the synthesiser (which has endless stamina!), but during that first performance the solo treble couldn’t come on for the second half – I think I’d used him up in the first half! These are things that people either learn because they are taught them immediately at the first lesson, or you learn through the years, so it was good to go through the piece a lot of times, and we took out huge choral sections and gave them to the orchestra. If it had been a Beatles song I would have known how to do it. But this was a completely different ball game.”

The Royal Albert Hall performance will be a very special evening. Tickets go on sale from today.

When you click on the link for Megaupload, at the top, on the righthand side of the screen it'll say, "Please enter _ _ _ (three letters) here." Do that and then click on "Download." And there ya go! :D

I wonder if Paul will be there. If so, looks like I may need to plan a trip to New York City in November...

I just saw them talking on t.v. They were so amazed because he only did it in two takes! Yep. That's Paulie. Perfection. :thumbsup:
