As the audience arrive, the Cathedral roof - the longest mediaeval vaulted ceiling in the world - is illuminated in pure lapis lazuli |
Emily Kreider starts the countdown |
Crispian Steele-Perkins' trumpet collection spans 900 years - and more |
The simplest trumpet - just one note |
Egyptian trumpet - two notes |
Mediaeval trumpet (reproduction of trumpet deposited in the Thames at Billingsgate in 1180 ) - eight or nine notes |
The tube doesn't need to be straight! |
Handel played on a hosepipe |
The real thing: a natural trumpet played in baroque style |
an extra loop at the mouthpiece lowers the pitch by a few semi-tones |
The keyed trumpet made for Joseph Haydn by Anton Weidinger 1770 Leads on to the familiar valves invented by Heinrich Stölzel 1814 |
A different solution a wooden cornet with finger-holes |
The piccolo trumpet introduced by Victor Mahillon 1890 a modern invention which plays baroque music perfectly |
Emily Kreider recites Mark Ware's poetry |
accompanied by Lyric Strings - and Crispian Steele-Perkins |
