00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.080
This is later with Lee Matthews the
Lee Matthews Podcast. More of what you

2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.880
here weekday afternoons on the Drive.
Patrick Doyle is a Scottish composer who has

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.320
been nominated for an Oscar and scored
several films including Murder on the Orient Express,

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.839
Brave Thor, Harry Potter and The
Goblet of Fire, and many,

5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.199
many, many more. He has
had the distinction of being chosen by King

6
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:33.359
Charles the Third to write his Coronation
March for the upcoming coronation on May sixth,

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:39.920
and well done, Patrick Doyle,
Thank you mans to great to talk

8
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.359
to. I'm I'm pretty fooled to
be on your shoe and historic occasions.

9
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.159
It is a historic and occasion and
you're going to join the names of say

10
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:56.799
Mozart, Beethoven, Vaughan Williams and
many more who have written music for coronations.

11
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.319
Yes, and every minutes of great
composers have gone before me. You

12
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.879
mentioned some lines. They are also
willing Walter and Elgar personal handle. So

13
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:15.719
to be part of that incredible line
of it Stragital is very humbling and extroberly

14
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.079
and a great, great honor.
Can you describe the composition for us,

15
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:25.599
what was going through your mind when
you were thinking of the music? Well,

16
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.000
I was asked by King Charles for
the piece to be triumphant, uplifting

17
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:40.400
and memorable. So these were the
these additives that I was given and it

18
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.040
had, and I was asked by
the organization the abbey if it could be

19
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.519
number than four minutes, because the
days are very very carefully to find day

20
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.000
with various things going on, so
they take to be less of four minutes.

21
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.840
But as I comminute three sixty five
with five tickets for re reparation in

22
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:08.439
the abbey, so it was setting
near to declare about his well, King

23
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.879
King Charles's life, and it reflects
aspects of his character. I would colletly

24
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.639
and over to Mark in the it
tells a story. They're very opening of

25
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.240
its triumphant and it's full of pagan
tray. And the second movement was moved

26
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:31.360
forward at a pace and has a
strong Celtic connection because I'm Scottish and reserved.

27
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.840
Part of the mark is joyful and
fun and full of casual fathers I

28
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.520
hope you can hear. And the
final movement is is reflective and romantic,

29
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:52.439
and those too, uh dramatic triumphant, climax student. Hopefully with these aspects

30
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.120
represent aspects of his his character.
For the matter. I've met many times

31
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.680
over the years the greatest supportive of
my career, Patrick Doyle, Scottish composer,

32
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.919
who is composed King Charles the Third's
Coronation March. The coronation coming up

33
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.759
on May sixth at Westminster Abbey.
Yeah, that's a long abbey, so

34
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.639
I guess four minutes is I mean, that's not unlike writing for a film

35
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.759
score, where you actually don't you
have the film up in front of you

36
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.039
many times. Well, but the
film spirit as you see, you have

37
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.840
the imagery assive and the characters,
well, you piece at this, you've

38
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.840
given a brief and you have to
culture up your own imagery. But the

39
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.120
abbey, obviously there's a there's a
lot of there's a great peace to fill,

40
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.800
and there's a long possession. Are
many pieces of former moment. I

41
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.560
believe the moment that the possession starts
outside in the street and lot to sweet

42
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.520
well the abbey and my piece of
Cornition March how to be all of how

43
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.479
he had placed the entrance of the
promondealth prossession. So I'm very lay on

44
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.039
the appears at that point. And
as far Patrick Doyle, who is the

45
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.159
composer of King Charles the Third's Coronation
March, as far as orchestration, are

46
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.120
you utilizing any of the traditional instruments
from some of these eras that you talked

47
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:25.000
about that come from the various parts
of the United Kingdom. Suppose I suppose

48
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:32.240
I'm using the organ because the the
the auction will be in the law and

49
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:39.959
it's a restricts to space, so
you would have a huge symphonic officer that

50
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:45.879
you would have on some light and
part of the it's a very much reduced

51
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:53.959
officer, but none may evil instruments
as with the oldest instrument in the pass

52
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.560
physically as the argument, there's there's
a rich opress obvious orchestra. So it

53
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.839
was quite charge academic he details,
but the slightly there's really three deals for

54
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.160
example, that's a very technical the
academic thing, but normally have a lot

55
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.000
more than that in terms of a
balance. So there's lots of something magic

56
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.199
workment on with all of these people
realnized to be part of it, and

57
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.680
obvious to me this balance love be
signed in this immitting building. Yeah,

58
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.519
the organ is enough anywhere. You
can do anything with an organ, you

59
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:35.439
can do with a symphony orchestra.
But really end it's very much it comes

60
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.600
up trumps the way and something part
of the triumphant ending. No I was

61
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.639
curious if there were any bagpipes or
base loot or anything unusual like that.

62
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.920
Oh no, Well I loved it, but I didn't feel there's still other

63
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.839
visy musicians throughout the ut. It's
they're children from these orchestras of the former

64
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.399
Prince of Wheels was the people.
It's a little nice sort of business from

65
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:09.360
ending from Lan from where, from
Scotland. So I'm always extremely present,

66
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:15.040
a provis and honored that these people
who spend so much time perfecting when clear

67
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:23.720
music with tremendous custom and love and
charactans and the affection with the extremely kind

68
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:30.040
I had it over two years ago
and enthusiasm and quotiously with outstanding Talking to

69
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.240
Patrick Doyle, Scottish composer who has
he scored a number of films like Harry

70
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.319
Potter and the Goblet of fire Thor
and many more, but he's been chosen

71
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.720
to compose King Charles. The thirds
Coronation March coming up on May six,

72
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.759
is when we'll get to hear it
in Westminster Abbey. And you know the

73
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.199
other exciting thing about this, Patrick, is that many of these pieces will

74
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.959
go down in musical history. I
mean there is Ralph von Williams, Oh

75
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.560
Taste, NC, oh Taste,
NC Harol, Gracia stand all this.

76
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.959
I mean that's become that's become a
staple in church music, and many of

77
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.399
the coronation marches have become staples and
weddings, so I imagine this will as

78
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:18.279
well. Well. I've been my
pool that I've been involving to wonderful movies

79
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:26.279
like Halli Potter and Pards, and
I've built up an audience for these from

80
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.759
schools and Quilthy the sea will happened
with this peace certainly. I've made it

81
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.680
hopefully to the bill, but also
as accessible and contemporary and melodically. I

82
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.519
think it's the bill, so I
hope it will be wible to stand alongside

83
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:50.040
these great predecessor predecessors to thunder cross
Patrick style. Our fingers are cross.

84
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:55.240
Will be looking forward to hearing King
Charles's Coronation March on May sixth, and

85
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.959
