What is happiness to you?
Hello and welcome to these new ‘Talking Flutes’ bite-sized podcasts, where over the next few weeks, and sandwiched between the usual and longer ‘Talking Flutes’ pods that Clare and Jean-Paul record, we are going to briefly explore the fascinating world of human psychology and behaviour, and specifically the areas of happiness and relaxation for musicians as a counter balance to the eebejeebies, nerves and many anxieties that we have all suffered, or continue to suffer with our music making.
Today, and in this first episode, we're going to start by asking …what is happiness to you and… in the coming weeks in these bite-sized pods we are going to break this down further and also include some short exercises?

16. Possibly the worst flute music project brief ever given? E: 230 with Dr José Valentino
'Funky Fusion Flute Flix' (now say that fast 3 times!)
When you give a brief to a musician, you usually need to supply them with an expected overview of the project, how much artistic freedom they have, how long or short, how many segments, who is the audience, what is the expected outcome…
Early in 2022 the team at TJ flutes said to Grammy and Emmy winning musician José Valentino they wanted to do a project with him which was not like their usual musical adventures together.
The brief to José… to create 10 x 60 secs videos of a brief musical moment in time.
Simple eh?
Not really! José was tasked with writing down 10 things that came to him at one specific moment. Each of these thoughts would then become the name of a track and would then represent the spontaneity of interpretation and freedom of that particular moment in time in which it was recorded. He then had to record the background 'vibe' for each track without knowing what the top line would be.
When in the studio, José had to hold each of the ten thoughts in turn and let himself be free to just play over each track. No re-takes…just one-off moments!
Artistic freedom was there and yet it was at the same time confined between boundaries of imposed time structures dictated by an external entity.
Was each recorded moment actually going to deliver freedom of musical expression, or was the barriers of space within time going to impose creative limits?
Within the time structure, José was artistically free to spontaneously improvise knowing that each moment is always different to the moment before. Creating with freedom and understanding that every recording immediately becomes a reflection of an earlier moment.
Why set a 60 second barrier? The audience. These videos are aimed at the transient and fast moving social media population. Those who expect their information, both auditory and visual to be contained with a brief message via their scrolling finger. Valid in that moment and consigned to the archive when the finger pushed upwards.

18. The flute and why we love it. A very brief history. E: 228 with Clare Southworth

65. 167. Fun is my 'F' Word - José Valentino & Gualo
"We need to cut the umbilical with those nerves and just let go when we improvise - now more than ever we need some fun in our lives"
This week Jean-Paul revisits a podcast going back a little while when he caught up in the beautiful Santa Monica in Los Angeles with the then, new Emmy wining musicians José Valentino (flute) and Gualo (guitar). Since this recording was originally aired, both Gualo and José have gone on to win countless more awards including a Latin grammy win for Jose only a few months ago.
In normal times, the stresses of study, finding work and then performances are immense for most performing artists. Combine this with the additional issues faced during the last 18 months of Covid-19 and that L world ‘Lockdown’…. and the word ‘fun’ in particular has been bottom of many of our vocabularies as the virus still continues to ravage populations around the world whilst musicians have an continue to struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table.
So in choosing the podcast this week, I just wanted us to at least begin to look at the ‘fun’ word again in our music making. When we listen to music we use it to escape, to remember, to smile, to dance, to cry, or to find ourselves motivated and stimulated by an auditory pattern of sounds that goes deep within our being.
'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' are podcast productions by TJ flutes in the UK. For more information visit www.trevorjamesflutes.com
So for the next 58 minutes, sit back and listen to these wonderful musicians improvising and speaking about the importance of that ‘F’ word!

89. 146. Little bombs of Virtuosity - Nicola Woodward
The musical genius that is Charles Koechlin (1867 - 1950)
In 'Talking Flutes' this week Clare speaks via Zoom with musician and flute player Nicola Woodward about her study of, and recording of the 'Chants de Nectaire', 96 unaccompanied pieces by Koechlin.
Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) was a French composer who although unduly neglected during his lifetime is finally earning the recognition he deserves as equal of great composers like Faure, Debussy and Ravel. He seems to have had a particular affinity with the flute, possibly because in its simplest form it is the most primitive and natural of instruments, closest to the human voice. The ‘Chants de Nectaire’ op 198 199 and 200 constitute one of the greatest works for flute both in terms of length and quality. Koechlin’s writing is so idiomatic and sensitive that it is hard to believe that he did not play the flute himself.

174. 68. Exploring the Suite Antique by John Rutter - Clare Southworth
Two movements, the 'Rondeau' and the 'Aria' from the beautiful and haunting flute piece Suite Antique by John Rutter is this week looked at by Clare Southworth in her 'Talking Flutes' podcast
Composed in 1979, this concertante work by John Rutter is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra. Rutter composed the piece, in six movements, for a concert at which Bach's fifth Brandenburg concerto was to be performed, and so decided to write the piece for the same ensemble. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style.

181. 61. Articulation for the flute player - Clare Southworth
Tonguing and articulation is such a large and fundamental subject to flute playing that 'Talking Flutes' host and Professor of flute at the Royal Academy of Music in London Clare Southworth was originally unwilling to record a podcast on such a complex area.
With so many variables depending on the piece, what the performer is wanting to emphasise, speed vs clarity, notational length etc Clare's reluctance was based around what can be put across in a podcast of acceptable length. This is where your emails come in. So many of you have requested information and guidance on this subject that Clare has relented and has recorded this brief look on the complexity that is articulation.

184. 59. Stress and mental health - Dr Roelof Joe Stammeijer
Psychiatrist Dr Roelof Joe Stammeijer has a coffee and a chat with his mum, Flute professor, soloist, author and rather fine golfer Clare Southworth-Stammeijer on the subject of stress and mental health for the musician. As the surname suggests, Dr Stammeijer is Clare's son, and also was a flute player himself so is fully aware of the day-to-day inner struggles that musicians face.
As Clare says at the end of the podcast, never suffer in silence. Everybody has good days and days when they do not feel as good. This is natural, however if you find the regularity of the low days increasing, and you are beginning to feel extremely low, then if you can't emerge from the clouds, seek help from your local doctor. Thankfully in 2019, it is not a sign of weakness to accept that at times we are stressed, extremely low and may have some deep inner issues. It's a sign of weakness when you don't seek help!
Talking Flutes Extra podcast returns next week with an interview with Hollywood film flute player, social media influencer and founder of the 'Glow With Music' project Gina Luciani.
