I'm composing songs for the West End version of the Tolkien epic, Lord of the Rings, scheduled to open in spring next year. This includes collaboration with the Finnish folk group, Varttina. The other significant project is a unique attempt, called LISTEN, which aims to raise $99 million (almost Rs 495 crore) for the downtrodden children of the third millennium. I'm the only Indian composer in the project. One of my compositions here is a modified version of one of Beethoven's symphonies. NGOs like `Save the Children' and `Consortium for Street Children' are expected to benefit from its proceeds. This campaign includes two one-hour international TV specials, two albums, two videos and a spectacular three-hour international television concert from India. LISTEN has the support of 99 creative artists across the world. Moving onto orchestration, I will be conducting two 90-minute concerts with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO). The first concert will be a classical pastiche of the Bollywood works with scores from Lagaan and Roja, as well as pieces from the Bombay Dreams. The second concert will be an original orchestral piece based on the Conference of the Birds, a literary classic by the 12th Century Persian poet, Farid ud-Din Attar. The theme of the book is based on the realization of self. - Vinod http://www.arr4music.com --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "noorulwahid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > arr4music website reports that a project by a r r called "listen" was > announced but status of the project is unconfirmed. > > I would like to recall that an album by Mohd Rafi (one of A R R's > programmers, has done additional programming in Maramkothiye in the > film Ah Aah starring SJ Surya, also a Singapore local singer who is > currently not in the limelight.
