Redeem Music
Nebojša Ignjatovic, a lecturer at Belgrade’s faculty of music had an accident. He
underwent surgery on his hip and consequently had to walk on crutches for two
months. Looking at this old orthopaedic device – which has remained the same in Serbia
since the First World War – it hit his mind to turn a crutch into a musical instrument.
(Optimism – SBC/RTS, Serbia). "Indian summer" shines a spotlight on the lives of the
aboriginal peoples in Canada through the stories and songs of indigenous musicians.
Music is a way to bring diverse audiences together by giving listeners a common
experience by creating cultural understandings that build bridges between aboriginal
peoples and non-aboriginal Canadians. Billy Joe’s gritty guitar style and compelling
lyrics are the result of the catharses of his childhood traumas and continue to be a part
of his healing journey. (Indian summer: Billy Joe Green sings the residential blues –
CBC/SRC, Canada). "Brothers of Italy" is a program, an event realized for the
celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Unity of Italy. Through a unique
re-interpretation of the Italian national anthem, directed by Giovanni Allevi, the program
retraces the main phases of Italian history, from the Renaissance up to the present,
which have contributed to the affirmation and consolidation of the hymn, not only as the
national song, but also as a means of belonging, identity and historical continuity of our
country. (Brothers of Italy – RAI, Italy). We hear, but can we listen The world is getting
noisier and noisier. Sounds are growing louder, our ears are assaulted by the strident
clang of machines, and the ambient space is filled with grey background hubbub. We
can fill our ears with music anywhere, anytime. With all this going on around us, can we
hear what is worth listening to If we gave ourselves time to listen, what would we hear
The programme explores a world of listening. There is no time to follow every path, but
we can open the door a chink on a world of a myriad sounds with endless ways and
levels of listening (On the art of listening – YLE, Finland). The story about the birth of the
first radio station in this (Southeastern) part of Europe emerges from the documents
found in a family legacy. This documentary takes us from our present time back to 1924
and reconstructs the period along with the political atmosphere and social relations. The
feature plan is based on documents, newspapers and testimonies. The enthusiasm of
people coming from different social and public status (from Doctors of Science to clerks,
from important lawyers and actors to students), underlines that the essence of the "new
electronic media" was recognized from its democracy and its power to unite the peoples
from the most remote geographical points and social differences. (The day for listening –
HRT, Croatia). Who walked from Siberia to the village of Kuorevesi Who murdered
postman Matti Mäkeläinen on the first of October 1867 Who made a folksong out of his
own life Who walked from Siberia through Alaska to Duluth in USA – Janne of Halli!
Facts and stories make him a villain and a hero at the same time. Stories and the person
are fascinating the community while it’s explaining the evil being outside the
community. What makes Janne of Halli unique is the music, which has become part of
Finnish folk tradition, even though it was made by himself while being in prison in the
castle of Häme (in Hämeenlinna). (He must be different- The ballad of a man called Janne
of Halli – YLE, Finland). Kim So-eun, a college girl who thinks classical music is too
boring and difficult, receives an educational album "Listen & lesson: classical music
with commentaries" from her uncle. Through three consecutive episodes, she slowly
learns to love the genre. The first episode introduces music from the "Baroque and
Classical period", while the second introduces the "Romantic period" and the third "Late
Romanticism and 20th century music".While classical masterpieces by such composers
as Bach and Rachmaninoff are introduced throughout the programme, Kim falls asleep
listening to the album she received as a gift. In her dream she comes across major
composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner and Tchaikovsky, who help
